Text messages
The first screen that appears in Ultra Screen Saver Maker is designed for entering basic information about the screen saver you are about to create.
You can enter screen saver's name, a short description, as well as the author's name. There are advanced options, also, such as exit condition, multiple monitors behavior and footer field if you want to specify text visible all the time at the bottom of the screen saver.
You can add a variety of images (JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF and TGA) into your screen saver. Ultra Screen Saver Maker allows you to sort and preview images you have added.
You can display images in their original size, a full screen or any other size of your choice. Moreover, you can adjust the duration of transitional effects between displayed images.
You can add or remove visual effects that occur when any type of image, movie or animation starts or stops. Your screen saver can include special effects found in professional video production.
Instead of just appearing onscreen, the image might slowly fade in. Or, a star might expand from the center of a region to reveal the new image. Instead of just disappearing when the movie stops playing, a clip might crossfade into the clip that plays next.
You can also add sound files into your screen saver and play them. Ultra Screen Saver Maker supports WAV, MP3 and MIDI sound formats.
Movies can be added to your screen saver as well. Ultra Screen Saver Maker supports AVI, WMV and MPEG videos and can display them in different sizes.
If you have added sound file into your screen saver, it is possible to play it in the background of movies.
Using Ultra Screen Saver Maker you can create screen saver with text messages you like, or simply display current date and time.
Choose the order of appearance of the messages and set various properties, such is font, size, color and effect.
Adobe® Flash® animations can be added to your screen saver as well. Ultra Screen Saver Maker supports SWF animations and can display them in different sizes.
Web component is actually bundled Live Screensaver Creator. Using "Web pages" mode, just enter website addresses and the screensaver will display such websites.
To change the order of web pages being displayed in the screensaver, uncheck "Shuffle pages" and use "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons.
Using Web component, "Images based on keywords" mode, just enter keywords, like when you use search engines. For best results we recommend using single line containing keywords or phrase.
For example, if you type a word "dream", "love", "sky" or "relax", all corresponding images found on the Internet are going to appear in the screensaver.
It is possible to test the screen saver at any time. You can see how exactly your screen saver will look like.
Once you are completely satisfied with the look and characteristics of your screen saver, you can finally create it.
Prior to building final screen saver we recommend saving your project file (.ssp), so you can easily rebuild it later if small changes are necessary.
You can create stand-alone installation package (.exe), archive containing installation package (.zip) or a regular screen saver (.scr).
Created screensaver is actually stand-alone installation package (.exe), so you can distribute it easily. When started, it shows Welcome screen with screensaver and author's name. At the end of the installation procedure, it becomes default Windows screensaver.

I love your application
BossBabe
Feature/Function/Value -- Screensaver Tops! Based on description and outstanding ratings of earlier version, downloaded this screensaver. Within minutes I had a finished product. I'd spent over $300 on screensaver builder applications earlier but no solution for a complete product in less than 10 minutes. This one did the job!
Connie Foster
Great product! Your instructions of use are top notch and what I set out to accomplish with my art was done. You guys made a great product here - cheers to you all!
Feather
Awesome! Just wanted to let you know the Ultra Screen Saver Maker program is awesome! I downloaded several trial versions from CNET today and this one beat them all in ease of use and creation options. The huge plus is how quickly I made a sample screensaver with my graphics and sounds. After only a short time I decided to purchase the program and am very pleased. Thanks to the programmer for their work in this program creation!
Jack
Great bang for the buck! This program is easy and works great. Good features for the price. Other programs same price with less and others with same features cost more. Stable, works well under multiple Windows platforms.
Rime Dragona
Nice program It is a nice program. It has some very useful features, such as unlimited files, and the ability to put in sounds.
Vicer
This thing rocks! I love this piece of software. It can do all the things it promises. But I do hope that they will improve the design. Over all it's great. I recommend it.
Allen Johnston
You have outdone yourself! I had tried several screen saver maker programs before deciding yours was the best. Now with this release you have outdone yourself with the many additional features and improvements to some of the earlier ones.

Microaj04
Awsome Program I've been working with screensaver maker for 2 months now and Ultra Screen Saver Maker is the best out there! Add as many pictures as you want + sound + movies + text + also flash files STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Sarah
Two very enthusiastic thumbs up! This screen saver creator is not only easy to use, but can create screen savers that can be a mixture of animations, stills, animated text, and sound, depending on what you want. It beats all of the others I have tried. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
Programmer Plus
The Best By Far Of all the screen saver creators I have tried.... and I've tried them all.... this is by far the best. Easy to use and well worth the registration fee. Comparible to most of the high end programs. A must have!!!!
Craig Knapp
Creates true *.scr files I can readily recommend Ultra Screen Saver Maker, why? Unlike many so called screensaver creators which simply create a *.exe "presentation" type of file, Ultra Screen Saver Maker gives the user the option of creating a *.exe file or a *.scr (true Windows Screensaver) file. The *.scr file can be placed in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, then accessed like any standard screensaver from the Windows Desktop. I found it very easy to add images, video, and audio clips to this program, it has a very intuitive interface. This is a great program for creating screensavers for distribution to friends and family, especially when considering the low $20 price.
Zipply44
Excellent! While looking on the internet, I was searching for a good screensaver maker. After downloading several, I saw the limitations of features, and complexitiy. Ultra Screen Saver Maker provides an easy, good program for people of all ages.

Easy to use, with good features, excellent features
What our customers like most in Ultra Screen Saver Maker
Ease of operation. Each step so simple that even my 11 and 12 year old Grandkids can do it.
Cheap, easy to use, actually creates decent installer and screensaver that works.
Ease of use - easy to teach others. We made 2000 screensavers over 10 days at a community event; we had about 10 different people involved and for anyone with reasonably basic computer literacy it only took about three or four screensavers before they were comfortable with making them. I had downloaded several s/s maker programs from Tucows - as it happened USSM was the first I tried. I immediately felt comfortable with it. However, I felt I should try the others, but none was came close to yours.
Easy to use, good effects, screensavers are a nice gift.
Flexibility in file types, ability to create screensavers from AVI files.
It has an easy look and intuitive interface. Also conatined all the options I needed.
It is so easy to use - with great results
Low price for the functions that we were seeking, very versitile and extremely easy to use, offers several features for a low price
Scrolling text, you can use smaller images and still get FULL SCREEN display.
Takes you step by step through stages and every feature you can use is within that stage (page). You do not have to go looking somewhere else for a feature nor ask yourself, am I using all that.
The ability to make a custom screen saver that can include both movies and pictures. The avi and jpgs don't need to be distributed
The creativity options are phenomenal! Music and effects of MY choice!
The ease of use. Easy for those not computer literate.
The fact that you can create video screen savers
The fact that you can make 100% original and personalised screen savers.
The possibility to insert the date and the time, plus the shuffle feature.
Tried about 6 other screensaver trials, but yours was just as easy to use and you let me make a complete screensaver with very little advertising in the finished product. Some others limited you to about 4 pictures or much advertising.
Very Easy and efficient to use
(1) Ease of use (2) Quality of images is retained
Although I have had a PC for many years I find that even a novice would find the installation and the ease of making your own Screen Saver an absolute delight and would recommend it to anyone.
I am a flash designer, so i think it's great that you can put in flash animations.
I had great fun putting together my first screensaver and it looks like a pro did it. Managed to save a theme that had no screensaver that I really enjoy. And it was so easy!
I like that we can add images and then text using various transitions. I have created 12 free zodiac screen savers and people download them every week.
I love it so much. I really don't have a favorite feature. I like that it is VERY easy to use. It is very affordable, yet it appears to be so much more professional that I thought it would be. I like that you can make screensavers with .avi files. This software actually got me excited about going through all my family photo albums to create personal screensavers too. I told you that I couldn't choose just one thing that I like the most.
That I make my screen with my own graphics and music.
The fact you can create a screensaver in minutes with very little difficulty
The possibility to import text-files
Unlike some screensaver DYI engines - Ultra accepts ALL the pictures I ask it to add! I have one program that only will display around half of the file - and it is more costly than Ultra!
