Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Today I noticed Google had released its Google Pack. Most of the software included in that pack was already installed on my system (Firefox) or was simply unnecessary in my eyes (Ad-aware, Norton AV, etc.). Only one application (if you could name it that) could please me: Google Pack Screensaver. It creates a collage of pictures. I tried it and I really like it! Only one thing annoyed me: the Google logo in the upper right corner...ResHack to the rescue! I've attached a modified version of the Google Pack Screensaver that does no longer have the Google logo. I don't think it's against the rules, or at least no more than the modified uxtheme.dll for example.downloadJust copy the file to %windir%\system32, right click it and install it. That way you won't need the Google Updater or anything else of the Google Pack if you don't want it.P.S.: it also works superb on a dualscreen setup: it won't just clone!

Synapse Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) The registry area you posted is for the Windows XP "My Pictures ScreenSaver" 1770 in hex is 6000 or 6 seconds the Google one is located at:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Picasa\GBScreensaver_d\Preferencesand the 107 and 2004 i was askin about was the Dialog resources in Resource hacker.. 107 - the dialog that has the Login & Password.. which i was guessing for the password protect for screensavers.. but i can't get my password dialog to show up on any of my screensavers lol, so not sure about that one.2004 - the one that has BurnIN, not sure what thats for..thought at first i had screwed up the install and thats why they didn't show up.. but they don't show up on my other comp using your method. oh well i'm not complaining, still works like a charm Edited January 7, 2006 by Bi0haZarD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
