Softpedia Editor's Review for WinMatrix XP
|
Creates a cool flowing matrix
Written by Mihaela Citea on January 10th, 2012
Themes are a great way to customize the looks of your desktop. Designed especially for the Matrix movie fans, WinMatrix XP is a Windows theme that you can use to bring the realistic matrix effect on your desktop screen.
The program replaces the current wallpaper with the Matrix code animation, displaying an interesting visual effect. WinMatrix XP runs in the system tray, allowing you to access all its features from the context menu. When starting this application, the Active Desktop function is enabled and you can view the falling Matrix code on your desktop background.
Even though the Active Desktop function is enabled, WinMatrix XP does not too much of the computer resources, as its process runs with the lowest priority. Consequently, it does not slow down your computer or produce system or program failures, which is a real advantage.
WinMatrix XP is highly customizable, allowing you to change its settings from the designated window. You can choose either the flowing or the real matrix display, as well as optionally enable the fade out effect. Moreover, the program allows you to set the maximum number of lines in a row and line length.
In addition to this, you can select the overall speed and the highlighted items level. Also, the Matrix appearance can be improved by choosing how many symbols to be changed and the elements' size. The animation includes two sets of elements that can be displayed on your desktop screen.
Furthermore, users can configure WinMatrix XP to automatically run when Windows starts.
WinMatrix XP is a lightweight application developed to help Matrix movie enthusiasts customize their computer's appearance and have the amazing Matrix effect right on their desktop background.
