Amclass: No computer theme or setting will ever top the Matrix screen saver for me.

dnovraD: The floating text kind, the text console kind, or the digital rain kind?

Because I've got all 3!
All good choices, but I'm a digital rain guy through and through.

I have T2 Judgment Day -terminator2- CD way back then.
Years ago, I tried plain copying them. They don't work on modern windows. I thought screensavers might be backwards compatible.
I'm not sure if I still have the T2 CD. I liked the screensavers, terminator factory and skynet tanks 'terraforming' my screen while resistance fights them.

The twisting polygon screensavers were everywhere in libraries, schools, offices back then. Funny to think about it.

Good ole (YT Video) Morph 3D; a way to show that even without a graphics card, most computers could throw a polygon! (Even if it was iterating though one preset.) It reminds me that I liked the old ripple variant.

I haven't thought about screensavers in years until this thread. :)

The twisting lines screensaver I was thinking of was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPfMkEgi2qI ;named Mystify

Win11 still have screensavers, though you have to search screensaver they seem to be hidden from plain view.

I imagine it's mostly been trimmed down to text, ribbons, and blanking?
