One of the easiest and most popular ways of personalising a computer is through screen savers, they require no great technical knowledge to install or use. Screensavers started out as a necessary utility. Both Windows XP and Vista will show you how you can use photos stored on your hard disk as screensavers. The most basic type of screensaver simply blanks the screen. Others show pictures or colorful animations. The Old monitors would suffer if the same image was left on them for too long. Sooner or later the image would burn itself into the screen, leaving an irritating ghost image. In some severe cases the monitor could be left unusable.
The Bubbles screen saver provides a very pleasing display of transparent bubbles that gently float across your desktop. As they do, the bubbles change colors and bump into the edge of the screen and bounce in the opposite direction. However, that’s not all they can do.
Let’s take a more detailed look at the underlying architecture of screensaver programs. There are different types of programming languages and graphic interfaces that can be used to design and code a screensaver program. These tools are used together with DirectX, OpenGL or Graphics Device Interface in order to polish the final product. In Mac OS X, screensaver designers use the Quartz Extreme graphics layer. There is an indirect interface between the screensaver and the underlying operating system so a screensaver typically stops displaying images after a message from the operating system was received such as mouse movement or a pressed key.
