Egami Flow Screensaver

There are a lot of interesting screensavers out there, even though they aren’t really used to “save” your display anymore. Aside from making an idle computer look cooler, they can also be fun to play around with.

Egami Flow Screensaver is an open-source piece of software that can make one or several images float on your desktop, and it offers multiple customization options.

The screensaver allows you to use BMP, JPG, JPEG and PNG files, but it may be a good idea only to use images with transparent backgrounds, although some may work without it. You can add as many as you like, and they will be selected randomly.

There are also several parameters that can be customized. For instance, you can set the image emit rate so determine how often floating images are generated, as well as define the maximum image count. However, you can’t restrict image size.

By default, the screensaver takes a screenshot of your desktop and creates an animation of floating images on top of it. However, you can replace this with a solid background color or select an image to be placed on top of your desktop.

When selecting a different background image, you can also specify how it should be positioned on your desktop to ensure everything looks OK.

Egami Flow Screensaver is a pretty basic piece of software that can be very amusing in the right hands. It is probably best suited for playing pranks on your friends, but you may find uses for it in other situations as well. It is relatively easy to configure, though a few more customization options would be welcome.
