Can screensavers?
Are there any you guys know of? I've searched and haven't found anything great. Would love some desktops and screensavers of awesome collections.

@Nobes1010
I made my own…sort of.
There was a windows screen saver called My Pictures Slideshow. It would display whatever images were in a folder you designated. I may have brought it over from a previous version of windows. I also use ACDsee Photo software for uniform editing and sizing. It has a function to create a contact sheet where you arrange any number of images to your liking. I’ve used that a lot for this site.
I always kept track of the collection with pictures. I realized I needed a uniform look to enter them into Randy’s CANdb software (work in progress). I built a makeshift camera box (patterned after Randy K’s) and began the re-taking of all can pictures. Just finished last year, more than 1,600 of them. I organized them into categories. It’s roughly 450 MB.
By changing the folder(s) in the screen saver settings, I can look at a single can at a time, a group sorted alphabetically on the entire screen or even a separate category such as all my small cans.
Serves my purposes.
I like your idea of seeing other’s collections in a screen saver. That would be a challenging project.
