I’ve a hankering for some new screen savers, but just about everywhere I go looking on the web has nothing but trash. Where would Dopers recommend for downloading some decent Windows screensavers?
What I’m wanting is a reasonably sized, free screensaver with an interesting twist, proper functionality and proper use of locking.
What I’m not looking for, and what seems to be unavoidable on most download sites, is;
-
screensavers that don’t “save” your screen at all. Basically they are just pointless applications that take over your computer when it’s idle, keeping your monitor blazing at full power.
-
bloatware screensavers. 20MB monsters that take 1 minute to load and unload and steal all your memory in the process.
-
dumb advert screensavers, like “ComputSolutions, Kansas for all your middleware needs!” or “Bruce Willis’ latest movie!”
-
spyware infested bait.
-
boring slideshow screensavers of cute cats, flowers, lakeside meditations, etc. etc.
-
screensavers that do little but make a racket.
-
screensavers that pretend they’re free, but have massive “buy me” banners that make them unusable.
