Ruined Castles Free Screensaver

There's something about Medieval times that is alluring to all of us. Maybe it's the thought of being a knight in shining armor saving a damsel in distress or the thought of living in the same period as Robin Hood. Whichever the case, Ruined Castles Free Screensaver will surely pull at your heroic heartstrings.

You can't help but become a bit of a philosopher when looking at these wallpapers. You can look at the images and think to yourself how even the mightiest of fortresses can fall before the passing of time. Also, you can perceive them as reminders of things that were and might have been. Thankfully, the built-in clock is there to remind you not to spend too much time philosophying.

The pictures chosen for the screensaver are good and done in a professional matter, and the ability to change image keep and transition time will make shifting between photos to feel like a swift passage through the epochs.

Unlike the images it depicts, the app itself did not stand the passage of time very well. The settings interface is outdated and featureless, with only two timers being modifiable, and the pictures themselves are pixelated when viewed on high-resolution monitors. This makes the app rather obsolete for anyone who uses big monitors (anything greater than 1920 x 1080). Of course, if you're still using older hardware and your screen resolution is lower, then you won't see any difference. One thing to watch out is the setup process, as it will change your browser's homepage if you are not careful.

Ruined Castles Free Screensaver is a good app for anyone willing to relive what they imagine the Middle Ages were like. Unfortunately, due to the quality of the images, those of you sporting powerful PCs with big monitors are rather off downloading several pictures of the Internet and making your custom slideshow screensaver.
