    Is there any way to setup a screensaver that runs over the screen image?


    I know it was possible in older versions of Windows to run a screensaver like bubbles in front of the screen image, the bubbles float in front of the page that was displayed. This appears to not be possible anymore? I would like to continuously display my planner on my monitor as I go about my day, but I don't want the screen to burn out. Does anyone know of screensavers I could download to do this? Or a windows setting to vary the colors or something so the screen doesn't burn out? (It's a Samsung LED monitor if that makes a difference.)



    Edit: What I need is not just a screensaver, but one that lets the open window show through, so I can still see my planner page.

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    • Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
    • Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
    • Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
    • Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.Is there any way to setup a screensaver that runs over the screen image? :)

    screensaver versus no screensaver

    screensavers are a leftover from back when

    A: screens burned images in

    B: the technology to have the screen power off didnt exist

    C: screens took ages to power on


    it is a complete waste of energy (on the monitor, CPU and video card if its 3D) to use a screensaver in this day and age - just set the screen to turn off after 5-15 minutes. (and NO, that wont feck with games or movies - fullscreen apps tend to stop screens powering down)

    ding. especially if its a 3D screensaver, its just ridiculous.

    Is there any way to setup a screensaver that runs over the screen image?

    Windows 10 keeps changing my screensaver

    Now I have very bad feeling about competence of MS support in this forum... Since November 2016 there were no any useful suggestions from them.
