Google Screensaver added to Google Pack
An interesting new addition has emerged in the Google Pack. Added to the likes of Symantec's Norton Security Scan, PC Tools Spyware Doctor, Google Desktop, Google Toolbar, Picasa, Adobe Reader, and Mozilla Firefox, comes the freshly rebuilt Google Screensaver. The Google Screensaver allows users to display photos from within your computer, or through photo sharing sites in a simple screensaver type format.
Screensaver works with Picasa, Picasa Web Albums, computer folders, or photo feeds to display photos on a sleeping screen. Of course effects can be added to the transitioning of photos including Collage, wipe, cross fade, pan and zoom, and time intervals can be set as well.
If anyone has any great photo feeds from Flickr or anywhere else, please drop them in the comments.

"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley"... "I'm doing everything I can, and stop calling me Shirley."
Anyways, I think it has been in the pack without the rss.

I downloaded it and it looks like the same old Google Screen Saver to me. Where do I set the RSS options?

Sneaker, you can set the RSS in control panel> display> screensaver> settings. Then check and configure RSS.

The "wallpapers" group is generally a good feed to find new backgrounds...
