Setting 3D Text Screen Saver
Does anyone know how to set the text of the 3D Text screen saver via code? I have a request from an engaged co-worker who wants her screen saver to dynamically display the number of days to her wedding. I figure I could write a small vb program and put it in her startup folder, and it would be able to update the text when she logs into her machine in the morning.
TIA,
