Adding effects to images in screensaver?

[VMI]

I'm working on a screensaver that simply displays one image after the other.
How difficult is it to add some effect so that the the transition from one
image to the other looks smoother? I have VS 2005.

Thanks.

What kind of effects are we talking about. Simple transitions or more
complex fade in fade outs? If you just want a smooth transition of an
image, I would look into double buffering your screensaver. There's a
good walkthrough on double buffering in .NET at www.bobpowell.net .

If you're trying to do more complicated fades and such, you'll have to
override some of the windows paint functions, and that is way out of my
expertise. Hope this helps ~ Justin
