One of the new features of Windows Vista was the inclusion of nice, beautiful screen savers. These include Bubbles, Ribbons, Mystify and Aurora. All later versions of Windows like Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 include Bubbles, Ribbons and Mystify although Aurora and Windows Energy screensavers are omitted. Not every user knows that these screen savers have many secret hidden options for customizing their appearance and behavior. Today, we will see how to customize these screensavers in Windows 10.

Run it as a task or startup item and point it to run bubbles.scr (there's nothing different the file itself in Windows 10, which is why previewing shows the transparent background). Then you can have it play while idle, effectively acting as a screensaver again.

All of the new screensavers have settings that you can tweak to completely change the look and behavior. Without an options screen, the only way to do this is with editing the registry directly. This guide will help you use registry hacks to customize the Windows screensavers including: Aurora Mystify Bubbles Ribbons. Dir c: windows system32.scr /b. On my windows 7 system it shows the following screensavers.

Screen savers are not just for fun. You can also password-protect your PC with a screen saver so you are prompted for a password after the screen saver stops. Windows 10 includes Bubbles, Ribbons and Mystify but when you click the 'Settings...' button, a message box appears with text saying that the screen saver has no options that you can set:Tip: See All ways to access screensaver options in Windows 10.

Used reset to get my screensaver back to normal, but that didn't help. The screen get's full with bubbles and then all motion stops. So I had to use WinBubbles to get my screensaver acting normal again. Final verdict: System Screensavers Tweaker looks nice, but in fact it can really mess up your screensavers functionality. I'll stick to WinBubbles. It is also known as a Bubbles Screen Saver file (file extension SCR), which is classified as a type of Win32 EXE (Executable application) file. The first version of Bubbles.scr for Windows Vista was introduced on in Windows Vista. The latest version update v10.0.15063.0 (WinBuild.1) for Windows was 10 released on 07/29.

This is not true. All the secret options can be tweaked using the Registry Editor or a special tool. Let's see both ways.

Customize screen savers in Windows 10 using Registry

For every screen saver, there is a set of parameters you can create in the Registry to change its behavior.

Here, you can create the following 32-bit DWORD values. Note: if you are running 64-bit Windows 10, you still need to create 32-bit DWORD values.
