What Is It About Icy Christmas Screensaver that Makes It so Great?
Apart from generating very realistic ice patterns over the desktop
and wallpapers, Icy Christmas Screensaver has a lot of different settings. Feel free
to tweak them until resulting images look the way you like the most. Here's the list of screensaver
features:
Variable ice opacity. You can have transparent icy patterns, more opaque
and snowy patterns, or anything in between.
Adjustable shininess of the ice. Change it to get anything from a shiny
and sunny day with a lot of light reflected from the ice to a cloudy weather
with little or no sunlight reflected.
Customizable ice bumpiness for anything between almost flat and very
detailed patterns.
Variable color of the ice.
Customizable refraction index of the ice for different wallpaper or
desktop transformations.
Adjustable lens effect for magnifying underlying pictures, making
transparent ice patterns more noticeable and for greater wallpaper and
desktop distortion.
Variable number of ice crystals that are seeded to start ice patterns growth.
Both normal and in-settings preview for better control over screensaver settings.
Variable direction of the sunlight to change the way highlights appear
on ice patterns.
Customizable color of the light.
Adjustable distance from the light source for getting sunlight or
flashlight-like effects.
Variable or desktop driven screen resolution.
Customizable list of images that get loaded and used as wallpapers when
screensaver starts.
Either random or preset wallpaper ordering.
Optional screensaver restart when everything freezes.
Variable delay before the screensaver is restarted.
Adjustable CPU load the screensaver produces to allow for better
cooperation with CPU sensitive background applications.
Additional (optional) resistance to external events like accidental
mouse moves or key presses.
