Screensaver idea

Post by Kodiakc »

Just a thought here, I know we have one screensaver done by a loyal dojo member whose name I am embarassed to say I forget but with the new 2003 calender pictures and 2004 in the works couldn't we (and by we I mean someone more gifted in this than me) make up a nice "slideshow" type screensaver using the 2003 and maybe a few 2004 big pictures?

I remeber when the first one came out and everyone was YAAAHHH! but thats been a few years back when we didnt even have wallpaper or color.. had to walk up hill to the comic books store both ways in the snow up to our knees to a comic books store so far away we have too leave 2 weeks early so by the time you got home you had to go back again to get the next issue. errrr am i babbling again? oooops :oops:

anyway anyone else have any sceensaver or maybe ideas for an offical Usagi desktop theme?
Its not any fun, unless they bleed some...

What Operating System you running?

Here is a simple solution to your screensaver problem guys. I run WinXP and Win98SE.
On windows XP one of the options is to use a Slide Show screensaver of pics you have on your computer. All I did was save all the pictures of the Covers off this site to a folder on my hard drive. Change the settings and voila I have a lside show screensaver of all the Usagi covers.
On windows 98SE I have a screensaver called screensaver-jpgs I download off the net somewhere. It is the same thing as the XP screensaver. it lets you provide the pics, so naturally again I put all my usagi pics in one folder and I have my very own Usagi screensaver.
enjoy..... 8)

There were a few screen savers available for download from the Dark Horse website. I don't know if they're still there. There were also a tetis-like game and a couple of other goodies.

I'll find out if they're still available.

:shock:
I have professionally developed a screensaver before for a library database company.
I Love Usagi Yojimbo, it's the one comic my brother and I have grown up reading. This means I would be more than happy to create a screen saver that installs itself on the double click of a button. This also has prefereneces also.
Here's what I will need in order to complete this project:
1. timeline (I'll see if If I have the bandwidth to complete by then)
2. images (someone send me all images needed to compile into this screensaver.)
3. I would also request that I by using these images submitted that I will not be sued or be harrassed by any legal issues for any copyright infringments etc..etc... yada yada)
4. What information would you like me to display on this screen saver? (I.E. "Ryaaaah!")
5. Who wants to be the one that distributes this screensaver?

Okay this is my word out to you fellow Usagi lovers, some feedback would be most appreciative. Thank You, Peace out =)

P.S. Stan Saki Rocks!!!!!!!

I would suggest that you add images from the character sheets, the art and cover gallery. Especially since they are already published and you have easy access to them.

And when you have finished the screensaver, then send it to me and I'll add it to our Screensaver page.
