    Hi Richard, can you send us this picture a bit larger? In XaraXtreme you can trace it with the shape editor tool or the pentool. Do you own Xara3D?

    I see Parahandy did it already!

    Sorry mate I don't have a clue, I never use screen savers now, I don't think they are necessary with modern monitors and anyway if the pc is left on without activity it just goes into blank screen mode.

    I practiced on this logo this evening. I was all fingers and thumbs but I got there in the end.

    PS. I believe this is in Sheffield Wednesday FC's colours. Hope so

    Richard,

    Attached in zip file are my finished screensaver and xara 3d file.
    In Windows XP you should copy the swfc.scr file to your c:\windows\system32\ (where you will find all your other screensavers stored).
    It will the appear with your other screensavers when you open your display properties.

    I included the swfc.x3d in case you want to edit the size etc. for your own screen resolution.
