    How do I make the bubbles screensaver transparent?


    I know that apparently Windows removed the settings to customize your screensavers (make them transparent, etc.) for some reason. So now my screensaver is bubbles over a solid colour. But is there any other possible way to make it transparent?

    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

    I couldn't get that Watch for Idle program to start Bubbles Screensaver in Windows 7 (transparent background) mode, but I wrote a program years ago which does the trick with Task Manager. It is set for 1 minute idle time.

    Bubbles Screensaver: In Windows 10 when bubbles come on, the background is solid, opaque, white, which is not the way the preview shows it working. Why doesn't it work the way the app says it should? Is there a way to correct this?...

    Source for transparent bubble cursor: Cursors often will annoyingly cover a letter I'm trying to replace/correct and, if the cursor is large so that can easily be sighted on a page it may cover part of a work or if it's small it's difficult to locate. Android phones feature a neat tinted transparent bubble cursor...
