Re: Creating a screensaver with sliding/fading images

Me and a friend have been busy lately, trying to create a basic screensaver similar to the native ones that Apple provides with OS X (like "Beach", "Abstract" etc.). Our intention is to achieve the same visual result, but with the additional ability to specify specific providers (e.g. getting the images from Flickr, or why not Google Images)

Why don't you just write a tool that fetches images from one of those providers, and then puts them in a given directory, deleting old ones after some time? Then you could use Apple's screensaver, pointing it to that directory, and that would be it... No need to reinvent the wheel (unless you're doing that project for pedagogical reasons, of course).
