Tips

To create a smooth screensaver animation it's recommended you create an animation with a fast
animation speed (15–20 frames per second) and between 50 and 100 frames in each cycle.

Windows stretches the animation to fill the screen. If you want the text to partially fill the screen,
select a point size, such as 72pt from the text size drop down, instead of fit to width.

For ideas on creating screensavers look in the screensavers folder (in samples). This folder
contains a wide range of examples.
