General Jottings about Code and Stuff RSS 2.0
 Saturday, December 22, 2007

So, as seen in the previous blog post, my employer sent me 2 new 19" Dell monitors. I was very upset to see that my all time favorite screen saver did not support dual monitors.

I have been using This Virtual Earth Screen Saver. It's a screen saver using Virtual Earth APIs which reads RSS feeds to show interesting Virtual Earth birdseye and satellite images from users with information about those images.

The good news is that the Virtual Earth Screen Saver is hosted on CodePlex and the source code is available. I went and checked it out. The code is written in C# and I'm a VB.NET developer but I can usually find my way around C# just fine. I downloaded the code, figured out how to add dual monitor support and BAM! My favorite screen saver now uses both of my beautiful new monitors. Love it. I'll try and contact the Virtual Earth Screen Saver developer team to see of they want my changes.
