Hypnotizing, mesmerizing if only due to it's subtlety and repetitiveness.
dalyraJune 2, 2008
Pros
Subtle, a not 'in-your-face' type of relaxing screensaver. Good if you don't want something striking, busy, blatant, or with an overwhelming amount of imagery. Relaxing.
Cons
The visual imagery could look a bit more realistic. If you happen to actually sit and watch your screensaver(s) for any amount of time: this one is soothing, but can produce a feeling of lethargy after about 5-10 minutes.
Summary
Spyware free! Great
