So, here is what I'd like to do... (Screensaver)
 
I have the Touch Pro, and I dl'd that HUGE pack of pictures that can be used as VGA backgrounds... There are a few of those pictures that I really like, and when you tap on them, it shows the picture full screen. (No bars at all...)

I was wondering if there is a program out there that I could use so that, after a set time, it would show one (or more) of those pictures in full screen. I realize that just tapping on them can do that, but I would like to have a Screensaver type of deal, ya know? Something that, when I tap it, just goes back to the Today Screen...

Any ideas??

p.s. Sorry, that isn't worded very well, but I wasn't sure how else to describe what I'm looking for...lol

Thank you, but this isn't really what I am looking for.

What I'm looking for is a program that will simply show one of my pictures in Full Screen with no bars, curtains, or icons....after a set amount of time w/o use. Then, on screen tap (or button press) the picture will fade away to show my today screen.

The above suggestion changes the background of your Today Screen....and I'm looking for a screensaver.

Touché, what you'd like seems to me should be easy to find. Apparently not so. Probably because it's better to shut down PPC and save battery. But if PPC is sitting idle in a charging cradle, for example, an auto slideshow after a couple minutes makes good sense. I've not seen anything exactly like that, but some time ago I did see something sort of close. It's called SereneScene, costs $9.95, and plays an animated aquarium screensaver with a few user definable variables. Let's hope somebody finds something better. In the meanwhile, here are a couple links.

Here's where I learned about it (scroll down abeery's post):

Here's where it can be purchased:

Warning - The guy programmer wrote this app admits it uses lots of resources, like RAM and battery, so it's really meant only for use while idle and on external power.
