Tweak Vista Screensavers
Posted July 27, 2008 – 3:42 pm in: Vista TweaksMicrosoft has released brand new screensavers with Windows Vista.For the bad part, MS has not kept any tweaking options for these screensavers.Everyone like to edit the screen saver options like speed and brightness.
Though, MS has not kept any options in the ScreenSavers manu, we can tweak these screen savers in the registry as follows:
Warning:Back up registry before editing.
1.Press [Win]+[R] keys.
2.Enter “regedit”(without quotes) in newly opened Run dialog box.
3.Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Screensavers
Here you can the screensavers registry entry.
Aurora Screensaver
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Screensavers\Aurora
Create DWORD keys
*Speed
*Brightness
*Amplitude
Set the value of the above keys between 500000000 and 2000000000.
If the above keys are not working, add/remove one digit and give a try.
Working on other screen savers,will add more soon

Thanks for writing this up. I’ve been having some small annoyances with this stuff. I seem to be having some trouble on the setting the value of the keys part, though. When I add or remove a digit as you suggested, it still doesn’t work. I’m not sure if I’m missing something here or what…any suggestions? Should I just keep increasing the digits and hope I get lucky?
