Woody Woodpecker Screensaver 2.4

One thing has to be said right away. Woody Woodpecker Screensaver is a screensaver that displays images of woodpeckers on your desktop. It does not display images of Woody Woodpecker, the animated cartoon character created by Ben Hardaway, Walter Lantz, and Alex Lovy. Don’t know why the developer chose this name for the screensaver.

Woody Woodpecker Screensaver is a classic slideshow screensaver. It will kick in when your computer goes idle, display an image of a woodpecker for a while, then transition to another image, display that for a bit, then transition to another image. It will use various transition effects when moving from one woodpecker image to another.

From the Settings menu you can customize your Woody Woodpecker Screensaver experience. Here’s what you can do:

- Specify for how long an image will be displayed before the screensaver moves on to the next image.
- Select which transition effect you would like the screensaver to use.
- Adjust the speed of the transition effects.
- Choose if you want the screensaver to “Cycle through all effects”.
- Select the background color
- Check the “Put wallpaper on desktop” option and one of the screensaver’s images will be turned into your wallpaper.
