Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I love the idea, but the implementation isn't to my liking. (a) Images should be downloaded in the background so the transition from one to another is seamless. (b) Should have an option to keep the image from rotating, and the image size should optionally be larger. (c) Preferably, everything on the screen should be optional -- I may or may not want the description along with the image. In the best case, there'd at least be an option to have nothing on my screen but an image, sized to fill the screen. Looking forward to further revisions, in the hopes this may improve aesthetically.
Promising start.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Looks good so far. Grabs a pic and displays it (rotates the pic) along with the relevant caption in an easy-to-read font. Currently no configuration of the screensaver itself is available. Would be nice if you could alter the speed at which the picture rotates or even make it static though, and make the picture a bit larger. Would also be better if the "Accessing site" type text didn't appear between different pictures (grab the pic in the background...), plus the docs should explain how to install it for those not familiar (you just double-click the saver file to launch the installer, but it's not necessarily going to be obvious to everyone). However as this is the first version, it's pretty good so far!
