# Your Screensaver
This page describes how to make your own custom screensaver using Visual Studio.
You're looking to create a screensaver for Nitrocid KS! That's great! Make sure that you have Visual Studio installed. Follow the steps to create your first screensaver.
1. Press `Create a new project` on Visual Studio homepage
2. Find `Class Library` and double-click it
3. Write your screensaver name, like in our example, `MyFirstScreensaver`.
4. Make sure that `.NET 6.0` is used. Press `Create`.
5. Right-click on `Dependencies` -> `Manage NuGet Packages`, find `KS`, and install it.
6. Once the package is installed, go to the `Class1.cs` source file
7. In your class, implement both `BaseScreensaver` and `IScreensaver`, ensuring that `KS.Misc.Screensaver` is imported.
8. Override the methods and properties that start with Screensaver (`ScreensaverPreparation()` and `ScreensaverOutro()` are optional), just like below:
9. Once you have all the required methods and properties overridden like below, you can start working on your state-of-the-art screensaver using the available console tools.
10. Once you're done, click on `Build Solution`.
11. Once the solution is built, open the file explorer to the solution directory by right-clicking on the solution and selecting `Open Folder in File Explorer`.
12. Navigate to the output directory and copy the `.dll` file to `KSMods` under the `%localappdata%/KS` folder.
13. Open Nitrocid KS to test your mod. Ensure that `savescreen YourSaver` shows your own screensaver.
