The Screensaver Thread

[Korri]

Hi guys,

Sorry my website (http://www.kindle-screensavers.com/) was having some problems, but it should be working well now. If you need a place to host you screensaver don't hesitate.

And btw you can upload any colored image (it has to be larger then the targeted kindle resolution), it will be converted to grayscale and resize it.

If you have any improvement idea, or any question fell free to ask.

i have slightly over 220 kindle self made screensavers that your site may have:

1. if i can upload them in a single upload
2. they are almost all authors that i have in my library 'cept for a handful of others
3. all the photos used were downloaded from the web so i have no idea other than that fact about rights
4. i took so long i forgot #4

Still not working. Tried to upload something, just got the "Sorry, something went wrong screen." Not a helpful error screen.

Yeah, I'm getting an internal server error too.

I'll think about a way to upload a zip containing a lot of screensavers, but you'll still have to write description (keyswords and categories ans source could be shared by all of them, but description must be individual in order to keep a minimum of quality).

Hi Guys, some really good images in here, thought I would just contribute what I did for mine today.

I have a Space pack and a Games Pack, so may not be to everyones taste.
Some of the space scenes show up really well on the kindle screen.

All files are in the two .zips attached, they are all greyscale png file at 600x800

The attached images are just samples, Space.zip contains a total of 8 images, and Games.zip has 32.

Hope you like them.

My favorite are the ones with no writing like "slide button to go back to reading" text on it

Everything worked for me, but the screensaver just stays on one picture. I have about 13 .png pictures I put in the screensaver file, and I put them in alphabetical order so they'd play in the order I wanted them to be–files are Aabby, Aaemily, Bemily…and so on…but only the first picture shows up and doesn’t switch to the next. I restarted twice…nothing. Help? Thanks

Mine too. I've been making lots of screensavers at the moment. Here's 4, made from the wallpapers you can download at coraline.com. I like patterns for screensavers, I think they look really effective.
