Here is the 2nd version of my tool: Random Screensaver.
Random Screensaver breaks the Windows limitation to 1 selected screensaver at time. Like the background slideshow in Windows 7, Random Screensaver allows you to set several screensavers at once, starting one of them when the computer is inactive. Random Screensaver works as a screensaver. Select it as your screensaver and it will launch the screensavers you want! Available in English and French, the language is automatically detected and applied.
Update v2.1 → v2.1.1: Fixed a little bug on the context menu
Configuration needed: Windows XP*, Vista, 7, 8 (x86 or x64) .Net Framework 2.0 or higher, included in Vista and 7 Internet Explorer may be needed to correctly show the FAQ *XP users won't have language detection and graphics Up/Down buttons
Enjoy!

Random Screensaver lève la limitation de Windows de 1 écran de veille à la fois.

Random Screensaver fonctionne comme un écran de veille. Choisissez-le comme votre écran de veille et il lancera les écrans de veille de votre choix !

THANK YOU! I've been looking for something like this for weeks!
Here are two thing's I've been trying to figure out: 1. Is there any way I could get more than 8 screensavers? (I was trying to copy+paste your screensaver in the same folder with a different name. Then I would have each version have 7 unique screensavers + the other copied version of your random screensaver. I couldn't get it to work though, because updating the settings of one of the copied screensavers changes the settings of the other.) 2. Some of my screensavers have music, but I don't want the music to play when my computer falls asleep with itunes on. Is there a way I can get this to turn sound off when itunes is on, and turn sound on when itunes is off?
I would be forever in your debt if you come up with a solution! Thanks!
1. When I created Random Screensaver, I was still starting to learn all features of Visual Studio. Now I know how to create a list which can contain up to hundreds, thousands lines! (You haven't 100 screensavers to show, are you? XD) So yes, I will break the limitation in the next version.
2. I don't know. It's recommended to set this setting in the screensaver itself, but sometimes it's not possible. I will see if I can add an option to mute sound when Random Screensaver is active. But this will mute all sounds.
I will update this tool (there already is another option I want to fix), but currently I'm busy with another projects. Once I update Ribbon Notepad and publish another thing, I will work on Random Screensaver
