Create a jpg with this text, and make it your screensaver picture

To do that copy it into your /media/screensavers/message/ or connect to pc and copy it to screensavers/message/
and then select "message" from the screensaver menu.

In either case you have to first create a folder named "message" under screensavers.

PNG graphics would be a better choice, especially for text on backgrounds.
It's easy to put a screensaver under media, but there is so much hard-coded junk in the Nook.
Haven't you ever seen the Brontë sisters when you didn't invite them?
If you are comfortable remounting /system, put your file under /system/media/screensaver/authors/
You can delete all the other files in there.

Thank you both.

You mean I must change the Text to Picture (jpg or PNG), that's a few complex. I'll try it.

No, you should compose the graphic initially as a PNG.
The Android can accept a graphic as either PNG or JPG.
The problem is that JPGs normally don't look as sharp.
Laying out the graphic in JPG and then converting to PNG won't help matters.

Even MSPaint on Windows can do what you want.
Set the attributed size to 600 x 800, type in some text and save as PNG.

Hi, i've put my personalized wallpapers in the screensavers directory that appear when i connect my Nook simple touch to linux os.
The dir address is /media/screensavers, you need to create a dir for each wallpaper that you want to see in the selection window.
With this method you never see again the Brontë sisters if you don't select they
Hope that tip is usefull

That's my screensaver, if somebody want the gimp project only need to ask
