Fantastic Ocean 3D Screensaver

Computer personalization can start with the basics, such as desktop icons, wallpapers, and even screensavers. Windows comes with a decent variety of items in the latter category, but there are also an abundance of third-party enhancements you can try on, and one suitable example is Fantastic Ocean 3D Screensaver.

The application comes with a lightweight installer so that it can integrate itself in the default list of screensavers. The last step of the installer offers to make it your default screensaver, but the Windows screen saver settings panel shows up afterwards, letting you take this new one for a spin, and decide whether or not you want to keep it.

All default settings of a screensaver are at your disposal, such as the fullscreen preview mode, possibility to set the number of minutes after which it kicks in, and whether or not to be brought to the log on screen on exit. It’s also best to make sure you’re using the latest version of DirectX for optimal performance, especially on older PCs.

On the bright side, the application comes with its own set of configurations accessible at the press of a button. Here you get the chance to configure several behavior options, as well as performance tweaks in the form of screen resolution, and widescreen mode.

There are five different presets which fly you across different ocean environments at different times of day to enhance lighting effects. You can manually pick the environment, or set it to random.

The level of details is configured through a slider, with a couple more to help you define mouse sensitivity, and music volume, if enabled. You can choose not to exit when moving the mouse, so that you don’t risk being thrown out of the cool simulation by accident.

To sum it up, Fantastic Ocean 3D Screensaver can leave your computer to explore neat environments when you don’t necessarily need to perform a specific task, or while you’re away. It’s easy to configure, with various settings to tweak performance and visual styles.
