You can´t even choose wich folder you want to view... No optionions at all.

Switched to chromebook and one thing I missed was my photo screen saver. This is just what I was looking for- makes the chromebook work like a digital photo frame. Pause/back buttons would be nice feature but not necessary! Only difference from Windows screensaver is it doesn't start automatically. LOVE
