User Reviews

• Good slideshow

  Pros

  Very nice slideshow screen saver, with extremely pleasant tunes to support the show. It is obviously dedicated to the famous astronomy program called Distant Suns as all the pictures from the slideshow comes from this program. Not a bad thing though. <p>Many settings to choose from. <p> <p>NOTE: I didn't find any SpyWare during my work with this screen saver. Don't know where astroman1000 got his from!!!

  Cons

  In the beginning, i downloaded this screen saver because i thought it was a real space screen saver but it is actually no more than a slideshow, working as a screen saver. <p>If you look at it just this way, it does its job to perfection but if you wish for a screen saver with stunning 3D effects...look somewhere else. <p> <p>If you can settle for nice smooth music and stunning images, then you should just get it.

  If you break the screen-saver with the right-arrow button it opens the browser in their home page: Annoying.

  Was hoping for a collection of celestial images, instead you get a bunch of screenshots from their application including the window control buttons. Bleah.

  By far this is my all time favorite saver. Easy installation, a never-ending display of image after image of far away worlds. There are no two images alike, it generates new scenes forever-I have never seen two alike and I have been useing it since it was first offered for download. Many Kudos!

  Summary

  Brilliant slideshow screensaver, that uses the planaterium images from Distant Suns to show you what the mother program is capable off. There are some very fine midi tunes and i think some of them are irish inspired?!?!??? The installation went smooth and the screen saver control panel lets me handle the screen saver and even copy the images out on my desktop as wallpapers. Excellent. Only thing missing is the possibility to run the screen saver on more than 800 x 600 resolution without the images being distorted. A pitty but if you can settle for less, the screen saver will certainly make up your mind with regards to buying the mother program............which i did, heh heh.

• Deceptive--nothing but screenshots of their app

  Summary

  Distant Suns does make an excellent astronomy app, so I assumed that their screensaver would use that engine to create an interesting dynamic screensaver. Wrong. Instead, this is just a slideshow with 4 or 5 screenshots of their desktop app. Lame.
