Screensavers

aren't those supposed to be called wallpapers? Unless you make those to animated gifs. Doesn't move, doesn't "SCREEN" SAVE.

But hey, nicely done.

fonzki,

Thanks for the compliment�

Actually, I called them screen savers because in the Display Settings (or when you tap on the battery icon in PDA mode, then tap on the "Settings" button),

Wallpaper refers to the 208 x 144 pixel image that is displayed when the flip is closed; while

Screen Saver refers to the 208 x 320 pixel image that is displayed after a period of inactivity. (This image may or may not be an animated GIF, plain GIF or JPEG)

I just called them that to avoid confusion, but yes, in essence, they're also wallpapers. I'll see what animated GIFs I can cook up - but I never liked being limited by the GIF's color palette...

Chris,

Actually, you can right-click on the images and select "Save Image as..." if you're using *yech* a Windows PC
