Hello

You'd like to write a screen saver with BCB. It is quite easy. A screen saver is like a normal windows application, with only a few very little changes.
1. A Screensaver is a normal EXE, renamed to SCR
2. A screen saver uses commandline parameters (for the configuration window, preview mode, (and for Win9x:password setting)

A great description is hiere:
http://www.wischik.com/scr/howtoscr.html

There is also an BCB screensaver SDK available, but it is not free. In my opinion it is not necessary to use this SDK. The description on how to write a screensaver is enough to make a perfect saver with preview, configuration dialog... everything!

If you have questions regarding screensavers, you can find contact informations of myself at my website (http://www.batteryinfo.de.vu)

Regards

Thomas
