Allow for more adjustments to effects such as the 'rays' (they lacked an angle adjustment).

I was surprised that the sun "rays" have no angle adjustment to allow them to match the natural angle of illumination in the selected background image. After all, I found I could adjust the angle of the bubbles and others.

Also, I agree with comment #12 (Ben) that some sort of "preferences" to allow separate selection of folders/directories for the examples, the SCR output files, the AWS, and the source of background images (did I miss any others?).

Finally (at least on my machine), when I did choose to create a SCR output file, I entered a title but not the extension ".SCR", since "SCR" was already being shown just below as the type of output file to be created. However, the file created as shown in an Explorer folder did not have any extension and hence Windows did not recognize it as a screensaver file without the ".SCR" as part of the name. Renaming the file to add the ".SCR" fixed that problem. If I explicitly included the ".SCR" as part of my typed-in name, of course, it worked OK; but normally, with most applications I don't have to do that extra step.
