Useful for adding a splash of colour to a dull workspace.
In addition, the colours transitions through a myriad of hues depending on how complete the arc is. This screensaver features a clock formed from arcs which grow and shrink depending on the time & date. It’s more than likely that you’ve seen this wallpaper in inspiration posts across the site. Add a little retro class to your idling workstation. Parameters include 12h/24h layout and adjustable on-screen size. The classic flip clock screensaver, perhaps over used, but still one of the best. Here are my top 5 suggestions for minimal screensavers – in no particular order: Fliqlo While these are nice (to some) they have no home on my minimal desktop.
When I mention screensaver, you will undoubtedly think of OS X’s famous ‘flurry’ screensaver, Windows 95’s 3D maze or perhaps the trippy, mystifying ‘Electric Sheep’. Since to uptake of common place LCD monitors, screensavers are mainly used for entertainment, scientific research or security purposes. I wouldn’t dream of using a regular PC to tell the time though.Screensavers, as the name suggests, were originally designed to ‘save you screen’ – essentially stopping images burning into CRT monitors and permanently damaging them. Also if you are on a green electrical tarrif you are supporting renewable energy. Great as a living room clock that can be wall mounted that shows time and date. Wattage is low, and it’s one less electrical item in a landfill site that has environmentally toxic compunds in it. Of course you could shell out 50-£80 for a large wall mounted one, or you could use an old laptop and recycle it as a clock. Alarm clocks have a small display not suitable for living room use. LCD clocks can be difficult to see during the day and the backlights have to be switched on and only stay on for a few seconds at night. Regular analog clocks are great, low power but useless in the dark. I can tell you exactly why you would want to power a computer to tell the time (using a laptop anyway).
