- Art of Japanese Crosswords — It’s a game. Moreover, it’s a Japanese game. Created not so far (1987) by the Japanese puzzle-master Tetsuya Nishio, the game, however, soaked up the ancient culture and civilization. It’s an art. The pictures are simple, the drawing is logical, not creative; but when the puzzle is solved, you suddenly see some small piece of art created by your mind and your hands from the plain and unpretentious…
- Battle screen saver 1.6. Let Them Die!!! — One of the coolest features about the old science fiction movies was space battle. Those naive but grandiose battlefields, thousands of different spaceships, huge asteroid-like battle-cruisers and small nimble fighters, explosion flashes and laser traces… Yes, those battles sometimes do return in the modern movies (for ex., the «new» Star Wars trilogy is quite a good one), but still they were born in 1980’s, with Star Trek and the…
- ProSaver Screensaver Manager 1.0.1, Screensavers as Art — Years ago, in the times of single-task OSes and old monitors, the «screen-saver» concept was introduced as a must (because if the same picture remained on the old screen for too long, the picture would physically damage the screen and create «burnt-out pixels» on it.) Years have passed, and modern monitors have almost no need for «saving the screen». Nevertheless, screensavers are still alive and are becoming some kind…
- Museum of New Psychedelic Art — Although screensavers only occasionally appear on our displays, they greatly add to the aesthetic appeal of our computers, especially now, when the functional role of screensavers has drastically diminished due to the overall dominance of LCD monitors. Standard Windows screensavers are not even nearly as impressive as commercial products available on the market. If you are looking for a bright, eye-catching and unusual screensaver, check out…
- Perfect Clock, It's an Art — Numerous times a day we look at the clock — on the wall, on the desk, on our computer desktop… And what do we see? — A pair of arrows in a circle or a few digits around the blinking dots? Perfect Clock gives a whole different idea on clock and timing, presenting time as a perfect combination of punctuality, power and art. Perfect Clock is a very flexible desktop…
- Clock Screen Saver — Although screensavers are mostly used for decorative and entertainment purposes these days, there are some of them that can really help you do your work better and faster. If you are tired of looking at the same old screensaver all day long, make it work for you and do something useful — for instance, show current time on your screen during idle times. If that is something that you would like to do, check out Clock Screen…
- Mandala Painter, An Entertaining Art — Even the prettiest flower on earth is actually a great combination of simpler shapes (petals), symmetrically repeated around the circle. This is also true about other «tricky» masterpieces — snowflakes, shining stars, and even the most unrealistic designs capturing our eye through the glass of a kaleidoscope. Too sad — all of those exciting figures soon just pass away, and the best we can do about that…
- Fairy Christmas Day 3D Screensaver 1.0, Saving Screen, Saving Mood — Screen-savers became popular in the good old days when they addressed an important, even vital, problem of — you’ll laugh! — saving the screen. In those sad old days, CRT screens had to change their picture frequently enough to prevent pixel burnout. Those sad times are long gone, and nowadays screensavers are just an entertainment: when you aren’t using your computer, why should it look like a boring workplace…
- WeiserWare Screen Saver Manager, Never Recurring Beauty — The job is done, and you won’t need the computer for a while. You wish you wouldn’t see its desktop stuffed with countless windows while you’re taking care of something else; however, seeing the same screen saver showing the same picture over and over while you’ve been around can just as well drive you nuts. How about a screen saver that never repeats? It has nothing in common with cycling pretty photos or messing…
