Screen Savers-adding images

Post by buzzsmith »

I would like to add a couple of pictures to the "Cosmos" Screen Saver folder, but I can't seem to find where those images or folder are located.

Alternatively, I could add the Cosmos images to a folder that I've named "Screen Savers" which works just fine when I select it within System Preferences/Desktop and Screen Saver.

I tried Spotlight and Mac Help and can't locate where the standard Mac screen saver images are.

Thanks in advance...

Looks like it's 1 file (Cosmos.slidesaver) that contains multiple images, but it's a start!

Maybe I could "hide" the others and create a new folder in this location...I'll work on it.

Thanks...
