You're supposed to use the Windows API to make a program a screen saver, which is pure hell to learn or use.

I right-clicked and selected "rename" then changed the extension to .scr. but it didn't work.

You do NOT have to use the WinAPI to make a screensaver
. Just ask Rattrapmax6.

I said you're supposed to, doesn't mean you have to.

It's way easy to make a .src with freebasic. I dont really remember how to do, it wasn't yesterday I tested it (I tend to forget things quite fast) but I think that one line of code has to be added in your .bas file and then compiled as TheDarkJay said.
Hell, now I got interesting in how this really works again :d

Jofers did a year ago a screensaver lib that handled all the WinAPI stuff. You just did all graphics stuff using gfxlib, and linked in the lib. Then renamed the .exe to .scr and that was all.
Unfortunately it was some versions ago and it may not work today. You can find it at the FB official forums. Perhaps if someone asks him...

I found some references to it during my searches for screensavers in the Challenges forum. I haven't look it up, though. Oh- I got a program to work as a .scr, but I couldn't use it as a screensaver.
