What actually happens is, just after users setting Bubble Screensaver on their computer, the bubbles suddenly go zipping around at 100 miles an hour. Recently, one of the Reddit users on this thread reported about the same bug in Windows 10 PC.

Microsoft released many new screensavers for Windows Vista and Windows 7 that look great. However, for some reason they never made option screens for them. 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

Using Sysinternals Strings utility, I was able to detect the registry settings listed below. Some of these settings have been known for a while since Long's article. Others are a TweakVista.com exclusive. I have tried my best to figure out what the working values of the new registry settings I discovered with the Strings utility. If you happen to figure out a value I don't have please let me know and I will update the list.

To use these hacks you will need to open up Registry Editor (Start Button -> key in Regedit -> hit Enter), navigate through the paths listed below and create the required DWORD or String entries. Then just set the value and test your changes.

Amplitude (dword) - This value seems to take decimal values between 500000000 and 2000000000. I recommend a value of 1000000000 for a cool slow motion effect.

Brightness (dword) - I'm not completely sure about this value but anything between 1000000000 and 1050000000 seems to work. I like to use 1020000000.

NumLayers (dword) - This value can take decimal values between 1 and roughly 15. Anything higher looks way to bright. I like to set this at 2.

Speed (dword) - This value takes decimal values between 1000000000 and 2100000000. I like to set this value to something toward the low end of the scale for a cool slow effect.

SpanMultiMon (dword) - This value only affects users with multiple monitors. Set this value to 0 for no spanning, the screensaver will appear on both screens seperatly. Set this to 1 to enable spanning so the screensaver will move between both monitors. Thank John LoBasso for clearning this one up.

BMP (String?) - Unknown. This value does not seem to do anything when I provide it with a path to a bitmap.

ShowShadows (dword) - Set this value to 1 to enable, 0 to disable.

MaterialGlass (dword) - Set this value to 0 for solid, 1 for transparent.

ShowBubbles (dword) - Set this value to 0 for black background, 1 for transparent background.

TurbulenceForce (dword) - I assume this has to do with the force the bubbles hit each other but I can not notice a difference between values other than if you set it to 0 all of your bubbles are gray. If you want to experiment, start at decimal 1000000000 and go from there.

TurbulenceSpeed (dword) - Unknown.

TurbulenceNumOctaves (dword) - Set this value between 1 and 255. The higher the faster the color of the bubble will change. I like to set this to 50 for a cool effect. Set it at 255 if you want to give yourself seizers.

Radius (dword) - Set this value between decimal 1130000000 for large bubbles, 1090000000 for small bubbles.

SphereDensity (dword) - Set this value between decimal 2100000000 for a lot of bubbles on screen, 1000000000 for few.

SpanMultiMon (dword) - This value only affects users with multiple monitors. Set this to 0 for no spanning, 1 for spanning across all monitors.

For a cool effect that will make you sick to your stomach, set the radius to 1090000000, MaterialGlass to 0, and TurbulenceNumOctaves to 255. After about 5 minutes when you screen is entirely covered in these psychedelic bubbles you will experience something I like to call seizer maker.

CameraFOV - Unknown but sounds cool.

LineWidth (dword) - Set this between decimal 1000000000 for thin and 1080000000 for thick. I like to set it to 1050000000.

NumLines (dword) - Set this between 1 and 100. I like to set mine at 10 for a cool saver.

Numribbons (dword) - Set this between 1 and 100. I like to set it at 50 for an entertaining effect.

Blur (dword) - Set this to 0 to disable the ribbon fade away. They will just keep drawing on each other. Set to 1 to fade.

SpanMultiMon (dword) - This value only affects users with multiple monitors. Set this to 0 for no spanning, 1 for spanning across all monitors.

Just tested the app mentioned here.
Wáy better than WinBubbles - if only for the fact you can't mess anything else up by just clicking ok where you should click 'set' ;)

So I set my bubbles to a small size, not transparent. Looks great ...

The first couple of minutes LOL.

Because when the screen get's filled with more and more of these marble like balls, they go haywire.
Running round like crazy, changing colour faster than the eye can blink etc.

Will try and capture a video of it later this week, because a screenshot doesn't show their frantic behaviour.
Gave me a good laugh though ;)

Edit: and when I push the slide for turbulence force to the left they all become grey balls. Don't know what that is about ???

Ants?

Just found out you shouldn't set the amount of bubbles too high either: will stop all motion when the screen is full, which kinda defeats the purpose a screensaver is for ... LOL

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.

Set them to follow the cursor. You will soon be throwing the computer out of the window, (no need for a screensaver then :)

LOL I forgot about those :)

Screensaver still isn't running properly. I've set up the photoscreensaver now.
Was wondering if it would it be possible to remove all registry entries concerning the bubbles screensaver
so after a reboot and setting the bubble screensaver again it would work normally again?
Don't feel like restoring an image over something as silly as a non functional screensaver!

Interesting, glad it did. Could you email the entries to me please.
