New Zealand Voyage Free Screensaver

When reading interesting books, we try and image all those amazing places that are depicted with such sophisticated words that it makes us want to go and explore them with our own eyes. New Zealand is one of the many lovely places that offers refreshing and attractive sights, however not all can afford to visit and enjoy those memorable locations.

If you aren't able to visit the capital, Auckland, the Pacific Ocean coastline, or the mountains made famous by the Lord of the Rings movies, a good replacement is the New Zealand Voyage Free Screensaver, which comes packed with a series of specific country images.

The app is ad-supported, which means it offers to install third-party components that can be easily turned off. Make sure you read each step, as you might end up with some unwanted apps on your desktop.

It provides a straightforward and self-explanatory interface that consists of only one window divided into a photo previewer and brightness slider on the right side, video mode, visuals and image control on the left.

Once the setup is finished, the Windows Settings panel is brought up, from where you can apply the default system properties or use the ones the screensaver comes with. Unfortunately, there is no option to change the predefined pictures with others, which narrows the possibility to customize further.

You can enable the desktop settings, vertical sync and tick the decrease the processor load option for a better performance. The app lets you show frames per second counter, disable the time (digital clock), pick the desired hour type (e.g. 12, 24h), as well as quickly adjust the brightness level. What's more, it's possible to modify the time between each picture and transition effect, by dragging the sliders to the proper value. All properties can be restored at any given time.

Taking everything into account, New Zealand Voyage Free Screensaver is a handy yet outdated tool designed to offer a simple slideshow composed of a few photos showing various locations from New Zealand. Despite its basic features, the application leaves much to be desired.
