      Desktop/Screensaver Question

      I'm wondering, is it possible to, in a way, set it so that your 'screensaver' is actually your desktop background?

      I mean, what I want is so that after maybe 5-10 minutes of inactivity or something, that my icons and start & task bars fade away, leaving just the background.

      Can this be done?

      Yes, assuming you have Xp, set it to a slideshow for pictures, put your desktop in a folder on its own and then fiddle with the settings so it works, if you leave effects off it should stay the same picture with no changes. That's how I'd do it in any case.

      You can, as mentioned above, but note that it won't save your screen .

      I'm aware. I just kinda like the effect. The problem is, that the picture doesn't match my resolution. Its stretched to fit, but when I do that for the screensaver, its not matched up properly. So its not the same effect I'm looking for. Ah well, can't be avoided I guess.

      Yeah but then the resolution is horrid. If I set the picture to stretch to fit, it looks great. If I stretch it in MS Paint (which I tried) its just ugly as hell.
