CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
The freeware has a very compact installer and costs nothing yet it produces interesting visuals. Drempels Screensaver takes images (BMP and JPG supported) from any folder and distorts them in various fancy ways. We found it really fascinating watching transformation on the screen. You can set a few parameters to customize the show (speed, resolution, and so on). The program can work as both a screensaver and animated wallpaper. In the latter case, it didn ??t take many system resources in our tests (but only with small images, when we tried usual JPEG photos, the image started twitching). If you want a beautiful screensaver for free, try Drempels Screensaver.Publisher's description
From Geisswerks :Drempels makes colorful, swirling, hallucinogenic patterns that resemble a hurricane or tornado. It normally runs in your Windows background or desktop, replacing your old still-image wallpaper with beautiful animated visuals. Meanwhile, you can use your computer just like you normally would. It uses very little CPU overhead--so little that it even runs smoothly on a 233MHz system.
Drempels can also be used as a screensaver; in this mode, it goes full-screen (like a normal screensaver) instead of rendering to the desktop/background. It was created by the author of the Geiss screensaver and Winamp plug-in.

Version: Drempels Screensaver 1.4
"Don't Use Contains Uber-Virsus AKA Smart bugs"
Cons: My cousin downloaded this thinking it would be cool to have, but the next time he turned on his computer it said that he had spyware, but he ran his virus and spyware scans before he Downloaded Drempels. During the prosses of trying to get rid of the spyware, It (the spyware itself) shutdown his computer. I call it a smart bug (a self-aware virus/spyware). He tried sever times trying to remove it and the something kept happing. My suggestion is DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE NO MATTER HOW COOL IT SOUNDS.

Version: Drempels Screensaver 1.4
"A great change from the static wallpaper. Could be a bit easier to configure"
Pros: It's a very low power app so it won't take much processing power to use (handy for those using older computers). The background pattern choices are very easy on the eyes. The price is right as well. ;)
Cons: I wasn't able to run the configuration unless the background was turned off- somewhat unusual. Also, it would be nice to run in full 32 bit color- as it is now one has to use 16 bit for it to work properly. Minor sacrifice but one of the small things holding this back from a higher rating.
