Anybody use G-Force (SoundSpectrum.com)? Their beta has now been released and it comes with the best screensaver I've ever seen!


I see plugins for media players, but no screen saver. In fact, I installed it, and there was no option for a screen saver, nor did it install one. Maybe the Gold version has a screen saver, but I don't see that mentioned on their site either.

Maybe it was visualizations blown up real big?

Well, you an use visualizations in full screen mode, but that's not exactly a screen saver.

There a couple of cool free one here Link


Thanks for the link, Bichur!

I love 3D Astroids. It has good graphics, a lot of nice little touches, and it's very light on the CPU, which can come in handy. (Check this one out, WebGizmos!)

3D Holly Berry Holiday is kind of nice too, and I'm sure I'll be using it around Christmas time.

Oh yeah...theat 3D Asteroids is pretty cool! It's a keeper!

Funny though...it gives you a mute option, but also tells you this is a non sound screensaver. Am I missing something?

And I use that G-Force visualization for Media Player. And you can make the screen that comes up in the beginning disappear somewhat by resizing the 2 graphics for it down to 1 pixel. A nice little tool for doing that can be found in the Microsoft powertools and it gets added to your rightclick. Really handy for resizing images and backgrounds! Still have figured out how to get rid of the other small one that appears at the bottom though.

They all say that for some reason.

Believe it or not, the 3D Gerber Daisey is pretty cool (when it become available again - they cycle around) the big one sits and the others float and bounce against each other, but what i like is they have kind of a transparency to them.

Here's the link for the powertoys. Link

How did you like the way 3d makes it own folder to put the unistalls right there for you?
I thought that was real considerate of them.

Thats always nice when they do that. But I have a good uninstaller just in case.

Cool. Bookmarked for later. Thanks WebGizmos

No problem Bichur! And now that you mention it....I haven't found the folder for Asteroids yet.

Ahhh...found it.

And the image resizer works pretty good. You can do preset sizes or custom.

Here's another I like - Distant Suns Link

Click downloads on the left.

Distant Suns Grand Tour 3D is the SS - What I like (found out in the help menu) is if you want, you can replace the mask of the moon or mars or whichever with your favorite - my little girl's head is the moon on mine.

Distant Suns 4 (for Windows) is a free... I don't know what to call it, but when it comes up and you see the sky/stars shot, you can click each star and get info on it - it also has a lot of stuff like when the meteor showers are due, satellites, etc etc.

Pretty awesome for free.

Hi...my name is WebGizmos...and I'm a screensaverholic!

I'm gonna need another hardrive just for all these screensavers.

I used to use that until I discovered IE Zoomer from PC Mag. Not necessarily better for that specific purpose, but better for resizing images in general, because it maintains the aspect ratio and resamples the image to get rid of the jaggies. Does a lot more than that, too.

Unfortunately, it's no longer freeware, but I'd probably buy it if I hadn't already grabbed it while it was still freeware. Link

Mmmmmm doghnuts......

That's my screensaver for a while.

Now let's see if I catch anyone drooling in my room!

The only thing I use it for is resizing backgrounds and some images. So free works for me. And I never noticed any jaggies in the images. Maybe I'm not looking close enough.

IrfanView works good for that too. & it's free.

It resizes images in html pages via the context menu?
