Simple question:
When I try to add a background image URL in the preferences form, it leaves the field blank after updating... How do I add a bg image to the screensaver?

Make sure Javascript is allowed to execute on this web site. (When using Noscript, allow the Seti web site)

Also, the URL to the picture has to be on an external source, not be from your own computer. Something like Photobucket.

Real is just a matter of perception.

Thanks. It does seem to work now... even though the preference window keeps listing it as 'none'. I guess you just insert a URL, update and even though the bg image field is listed as 'none', it will display.
