I thought of releasing my screensaver as open source before and after using the open source Exiv2 metadata library I finally got off my bum and done it. You can download the full screensaver source and the programming suite Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.

The source code of the Random Photo Screensaver is released under the same GNU General Public License as the binary. On this page you can download the full source code written in Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.

At the moment the code isn't thoroughly documented. It's on my to do list to create full documentation so you can more easily extend the existing code, or use it to base your own screensaver creation on.

Please contact me if you've made any improvements to the screensaver.
