All you need to do to install an scr file is either:

  • right-click on the .scr file and choose "install" (or just right-click and choose 'test' to try out first)
  • or: copy to your windows directory (typically c:\windows or c:\winnt) and bring up Display properties from Control Panel, choose Screen Saver and select the Waina Screen Saver from the list.


Desktop Wallpaper

Here are some pictures we think work particularly well as desktop wallpaper background for your computer:

Squid: a beautiful soft background picture which will stretch to whatever your screen size without undue distortion.
Lynx: a beautiful portrait of a pair of Lynx, just the right size for the screen.
Passing Shadow: not exactly screen shaped but it still looks good stretched to any screen size.

You can use any of the other pictures on this site for personal use, but these are the ones that work best on the screen.

To install as wallpaper, follow the links above to the gallery pages and save the picture of your choice:

  • In Internet Explorer or Netscape 4:
    When you see a picture you like, click on it with the right mouse button and choose 'Set as Wallpaper'. This saves the current image to your 'Internet Explorer Wallpaper' or 'Netscape Wallpaper' as appropriate:  (as you repeat the process your previous image is overwritten).
  • Alternatively, or if your browser doesn't have this feature, you can still save the image to file and use that file as your desktop wallpaper.
    (For example in Windows 98/ME/2000 wallpaper is accessible from Desktop Properties, Background.  Here you may select a file you have saved manually or choose 'Internet Explorer Wallpaper' or 'Netscape Wallpaper' from the list if you have used these features.)
