Free Fire Screensave sets users' monitors ablaze, igniting each window and icon in translucent flames. It's a cool effect, and the intuitive interface allows for just the right amount of customization; users can personalize their settings without being overwhelmed by options.
The features that users can tweak include the speed of the flames' flickering, whether the screensaver fades out or ends immediately upon exit, and the program's sounds and music. Users can choose between two built-in pieces of music (Romantic and Melancholic), set the program to use other music from the computer, or turn the music off entirely. Crackling fire sounds can also be adjusted in volume or turned off. This program offers multimonitor support for users who desire more than one blazing screen; this can be turned off for those who don't. Users can also easily take a screenshot of the flaming desktop, which could provide a not-so-subtle way to tell your boss what you really think of your latest assignment. (If only it showed holes burning through Word documents!)
This freeware installs and uninstalls cleanly, making it a hassle-free desktop enhancement. Users who want to add a little bit of heat to their computers should find this an enjoyable addition to their screensaver collections.
Publisher's description
From Laconic Software :This nifty screensaver sets your desktop ablaze. When you fire up Free Fire Screensaver (no pun intended), each item on your desktop - including icons and all open windows will appear to catch on fire, glowing and emitting a smoke effect. The crackling and popping sounds, chimes an music that accompany the screensaver are very nice. Free Fire Screensaver includes two perfect built-in soundtracks, but your favorite music can be set as well. Using the "Enter" key, you can even capture a picture of your burning desktop. To help keep Free Fire Screensaver free, it is bundled with optional Crawler Toolbar. It's a tiny useful add-on for your browser which is not considered to be any kind of malware.
Version 1.31 fixes a general bug when the screensaver would not start automatically on some systems.

Version: Free Fire Screensaver 1.31
"I think it's cool & I love it! Just wish not so dark."
Pros: Easy to setup & choose settings including music
Cons: sample while setting up shows the outlines of what is on the desktop perfectly but when screensaver actually comes on the fire is much too dark & literally covers up everything on the desktop so you can't see the outlines of stuff on desktop.
Summary: Even tho it is too dark & you can't see things on the desktop the way you can when it shows sample while setting up it is still a cool screensaver. I had no problems with it starting or stopping as it should.
