Screensavers

[fustercluck]

Kinda in the mood for a screensaver, haven't had one in a long time. Guess i got the urge after playing around with some visualizations in Winamp, i'm looking for a screensaver like those. Any good screensavers out there? It doesn't seem like it. It still seems to be a choice of Matrix, Aquarium, and "Bikini Babes", I'm not fond of any of those. Don't like anything else i've seen either. Looking for something new and cool i suppose, if there are such screensavers out there. I guess there isn't a big demand for screensavers so it's hard to find any good ones.

Most of the time I'll just set up a slideshow of photos I've taken. Nothing out there really strikes me a all that great anymore... Although I recently resurrected my Snoqualime screensaver, always did like it about the best.

I just bought my wife Marine Aquarium from WalMart last night for like $10 and she loves it. She's not a purist like the rest of y'all and she likes screensavers still. I have to admit, it is really cool, I wound up installing it on my PC also.

my screensaver is only on for 2 mins before monitor goes into standby, and then shutoff a couple mins later

so it doesn't get much playtime to warrany anything but "blank screen"
=P

A few years ago there was a screensaver that was supposedly amazing. It was a picture (or short film?) of the earth, taken from space at night, and you could see a zillion lights all over the planet. It was obviously taken from a space mission. I never saw it but read about it. I tried to find it about a year later but couldn't. Maybe someone else knows if it's still around and, if so, where it can be found.

I have Marine Aquarium Time which is the fish tank with a nice overlay clock inside the tank... it looks absolutely beautiful... but I never use it - screen savers are a nuisance.

If you want to check it out anyway... here.

NASA has pictures of earth at night, it is cool, used to use it as desktop, but its just a picture.

Great OpenGL screensavers are at http://www.reallyslick.com/ they are beautiful for showing off your video card to people who aren't impressed by FPS framerates. I've always had trouble with them conflicting with system standby and corrupting the display, so I just use them with screenpaper as eye candy.

I used to like them... loved one back in the days of Win95 that made the screen look like it was melting.
Nowadays, I use a picture viewer that randomly picks from the 1000s of images I have... I find that much more interesting

Hey thanks for that link, my parents have been wanting a good looking free fireworks screensaver.

I used to but now I just keep a shortcut to image directories and f11.

 

[murphy55d]

I just turn off my monitor.

I used to have my external HD hooked into my monitor, so I had a screensaver running while making a DVD or whatnot.
The one I liked most was holding pattern, simulating the view from an aircraft window.

Most times I turn off my monitors, but if not, then blank screen gets some play time.
