Microsoft Bubbles Screensaver

In your case I would go with spapakons suggestion and try using the Watch 4 Idle app since it appears that you can adjust the settings somewhat. I've never used it so I would have to install it to test its capabilities. With my suggestion, because the Microsoft Bubbles screensaver has no settings such as the ability to use the escape button to turn it off for example, verses using the mouse, you're basically stuck using the mouse and if the mouse moves; as in your case with a rocking ship you'd have to click on the icon again. Since you're using a laptop though, you could just disable the mouse if you're using one since you have the pad on a laptop. In that instance, it would take touching the pad to turn it off. Good luck. I have a feeling that Microsoft has had a lot of feedback with regards to the transparent screensavers so maybe they'll come up with a fix for it, who knows? *sarc

Hi Katherine,

The Bubbles screensaver is located at the Screen Saver Settings. Kindly follow these steps to set Bubbles as your Screen Saver:

• On the Search bar, type in change screen saver and press
  Enter.
• The Screen Saver Settings window will come up.
• Under the drop down menu on Screen saver, select Bubbles.
• Under Wait, customize the time frame (minutes) if needed.
• Put a check mark on On resume, display logon screen.
• Click Apply and then click OK.

The Screen saver will appear based on your selected time frame.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Read the previous posts. Watch 4 idle loads an application (EXE) after a set interval of inactivity. You can configure it to load a screensaver (SCR). If you unhide known file extensions in Windows Explorer settings and then change the extension of a screensaver file from SCR to EXE, you could also double-click to start manually the screensaver, but of course the point is to execute automatically after some seconds (minutes).
