Screensaver and Wallpaper for Facebook is a free software to set Facebook photos as desktop wallpaper and screensaver on your PC. You just need to add your Facebook account with this application to let it collect the photos from your account.
Collected photos are randomly arranged into stylish collages to create different wallpapers, which keep on changing after certain interval of time. You can also use multiple frames to add more style to the wallpapers. You can choose to have photos of your Facebook friends for wallpapers as well.
Photos are updated automatically from your account regularly.

My Take on Screensaver and Wallpaper for Facebook:
To me, this software felt like a package of multiple software, all combined into one. First, I often download Facebook photos of my friends. Second, I love to keep my wallpaper changing on short intervals. Though Windows 7 gives that option inbuilt, I still tend to use other software to change wallpapers. This software can do both of them (images are downloaded in Facebook folder in installed location) and plus it’s a kind of birthday reminder as well. Cool!
This tool doesn’t offer great screensaver and just presents a series of wallpapers (collage of Facebook photos). I wish it offered some animations as well. So, I’d prefer using other screensaver tools. You can control screensaver and desktop wallpaper with this tool separately. You can easily disable one and keep the other running. I would personally use this software to set my wallpaper from Facebook photos of me and my friends, as well as birthday calendar of friends; and keep my screensaver to one I have currently. You might prefer to do it differently.
