This screen saver simulates 4 particles with gravity, and draws color changing lines between them. Gravity, refresh, and number of color bars are fully configurable, and you end up with some VERY neat pictures. I used the screen saver template at vbhelper.com as a starting point.

COOL!!!!! but there is a slight problem, when it exits it doesn't show the cursor.......Well, atleast on mine. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
oh sorry. :-) it works on vb5 but not 6 (on my pooter). looks good. :-) i still loose my mouse, but thats easy to fix, thanks. :D (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This works great, but I can't get it to start automatically. Without that ability, it doesn't make a good screen saver, other than that, I really like it. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
When I compile it with Vb5 and vb6 and run it in either Win95 or Win98, all I see is a blank screen. What did I do wrong? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I lose my cursor, the code U gave dousnt always work. It isnt just a case of true or false for showing the cursor. If you set it to true the it adds to the cursor visiblity but this might not always be enough to make it visible. try this...
Private sub Form_Unload(Cancel aas integer)
Dim retval as long
While retval <=0
retval = showcursor 1
wend
end sub (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
The code doesn't seem to work on NT4, particularly the Preview mode. The instancing control is incorrect and multiple instances of the app get spawned. It's also lacking the MouseMove code to deactivate the screen saver. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Nice job on your code!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Goow work, Keep it up! What i do to get the mouse back is Ctrl + Alt + Delete then end the screen saver and my mouse comes back. But that's on Windows XP. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
You can update your code and still keep the award. They only vanish if you upload a new version. That disappearing cursor problem is still in code. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Can somebody tell me how this very interesting screen saver fills the whole screen? Whenever I try to code something similar, nothing will get rid of the title bar and the task bar. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I have recently downloaded a rotating line screen saver from this site and managed to get it going correctly using VB5. Now I want to include a Power Point Show instead of the line. Is this possible? If sowhat do I need to do? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
In vb 6 to make a form full screen, go to its properties, set its window state to 2, Full screen, and set its ControlBox property to False, and its Caption to "" (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
