    I dont know many people that use screensavers now a days but they just keep rolling along.
    If you do use a saver then give this a try out. Its called UsefulSaver and it displays CPU info, RAM info, disk activity, disk space, top 5 processes, battery life remaining, how long the screensaver has been running, date and time, quotes and ScreenWash.
    ScreenWash is a feature that helps prevent LCD burn-in. After the screen saver has been active for a specified time, 10 minutes by default, the screen blackens, then displays the date and time in 4 different colors for 1 minute each then resuming to the normal saver.
    Lots of colors options available, as well as font selection and size.

    You can download it here.
    Make sure you choose the correct version for your machine, 64 or 32 bit.

    Installation is straight forward with no hidden surprises that I found.
    Once installed, right click on your screen (Win/ instructions)select 'Customize'then ScreenSaver.
    Choose the screensaver ( UsefulSaver and click on 'Options'. Here you can choose the text colour, the text size and the background colour.
    Moving along the tabs, next up is ScreenWash. The options here are whether or not to activate it and how long before it starts.
    Next you have 'CustomText' where you can tweak the text.
    And finally 'MultiMonitor'where you can choose to have a picture show made up from your photo's on your second Screen.

    Like I said, not many people use a screensvaer these days but worth a look anyway.​

    Interesting, I've DL'ed and will give it a try, not that I need or use one I have a 3yr old son, who thinks a vacant PC is opportunity to watch his favourite programs or video's, or just mess up the desk top :snckr:
