Benefits from all default options

The quick setup process deploys the screensaver before you realize. However, for everything to go as expected, your computer needs to be equipped with Adobe Flash Player. It automatically integrates with all existing screensavers, and the default settings panel shows up right after installation.Regular screensaver options are available, such as the configuration of idle time before the screensaver can kick in, and whether or not to display the log-on screen on resume. However, it also comes with a variety of customization options of its own for a real personal feel.

You can start a preview right away to see what it’s all about. Bringing up its settings panel lets you browse through a couple of tabs to manage general behavior, as well as exist conditions.
