Deciever Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) I finally found it, dugg it up from Feb. 2001. Thanks Chris Moore, he is the author of this fine screensaver that some one from the mac crowd ripped off years later. I assume I am the first to rediscover this since Lotsawater has come out, I have read a lot of people asking for a windows alternative and no one has mentioned this screen saver. So old windows users don't even remember having it lol, just goes to show you how much more of a fast lane windows is compared to Macs. The program can be downloaded here http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/3df...screensaver.zip If you would like to thank the author or send him money, since technically this is shareware (even though there is no time trial or limitations), send him emails at christopher.e.moore#@#gmail.com take out the pound signs I don't want him to get spam because of me . I think it could be cleaned up some more to mimic Lotsawater a bit better but it is still the best one out there for windows.

jerzdawg Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 very cool... wish I could get it to work with dual display here at work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deciever Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yea I wish I had some suggestions on how to get it to work on dual monitors. Maybe Chris can fix it if yall email him about it. Also I don't like the blending it does, it makes it un Lotsawater like so here are my settings which make it appear more Lotsawater like. User Texture = checked Capture Mouse in Screensaver = doesn't matter Use Blend = off* (changed) Blend Value = Only matters if Blend is on (which mine is not checked) Drop Radius = 12 Drop Depth = 12 Delay between Drops = 5 Water Decay = .95 Min E/P = 1* (changed) Everything else is left at default.

DigitalE Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Vista :( It just does the water effect on a solid gray screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lqv2015 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Works very nicely on my XP system. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deciever Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Vista :( It just does the water effect on a solid gray screen. If you have not gone into the screensaver settings then you need to and under the texture area set it for your Desktop or choose a file (wallpaper) to use.

Deciever Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 I have noticed that this screensaver does not work very well on the ATI X1900 graphics card, however on a crappy ATI 200 Xpress card it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuu Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 one of my favorite screensavers on the mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted October 19, 2007 Supervisor Share Posted October 19, 2007 Looks kinda neat. By the way, you'd probably be surprised that Flurry was Windows-based way back in the day, before it was taken up by Mac OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHumanly Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I like the Flame screensaver better, even though it's the opposite from water. Sets your entire desktop on fire, looks real too... http://www.laconicsoftware.com/fantastic-f...screenshots.php But it's not free :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
