... they've lost Norton Internet Security and AdAware, right?

what is different about screensaver? i dont see any difference.

According to Google, the ability to add photo feeds is new.
Did you get to install the version I made a screenshot of in the post?

i did- will have to fiddle with it i guess. i still think a screensaver of the various doodles Hwang has done--morphing from one to the other- would be better. there are loads of photo-savers out there.

Hmmm, wasn't the screensaver originally called "Google Pack Screensaver", now it's "Google Photos Screensaver". Would this suggest that Google will eventually rename Picasa (Web Albums) to Google Photos.

1. The screensaver is spectacular.

2. Google Pack really is a great little bundle of software – Especially since they give you so much control over what you choose to install/not install.

...but aren't "screensavers" outdated in an LCD era ?

I mean, the best thing to "save" your LCD screen is a black picture, right ?

you know what, i musta got the old version. i hadnt had it on my PC, i DL'd it, got the old version. re-read this post, went back, redid it, now i have the new one. much better. still think the logo idea is great, tho..

Yhancik, perhaps the term "screensaver" is outdated, but it's still nice to have something showing when you're away from the PC (like a digital frame).

As well as the screensaver (called GPhotos on disk), you also get a Firefox extension installed, which allows you to right click on feed links, and to add them as source feeds for the screensaver.

Nasty, I just noticed this extension accidentally, and I can't even uninstall it through the Firefox add-on dialog.

You can disable it (it's almost the same thing) or remove it if you uninstall the screensaver.

Yeah, I did disable it, but I didn't even ask Google to install this extension! That's bad behavior. Sure, I bet there was some footnote or checkbox I missed when installing this that would've warned me. But that's the alibi of every bundleware...

<<I bet there was some footnote or checkbox I missed when installing this that would've warned me.>>

The screensaver installs silently.

Its not Evil, Its Useful, why uninstall it?

I think the problems is that the ext is at:
C:program FilesgoogleGoogle Photos Screensaver
and not in FF's ext folder.

The old screensaver was great. Google Photo Screensaver stinks. Stinks.
Did I say it stinks. Also I uninstalled it but it will not go away. Now I am stuck with pictures I do not want showing up as a screensaver. This sucks
________! The old one let me change it anytime I wanted. The new one downloaded ever freakin pictire file I had. Kow what I mean!?!?!? I hate this crap and will uninstall everything Google from here on. Please do the same until they fix it.
