Shuffle Desktop Screensaver

Shuffle Desktop Screensaver is, as its name suggests, a screensaver that can help you protect your screen against dead or stuck pixels by keeping it busy with animations.

Although many download and use screensavers as a mean of workspace personalization, its more important role is that it can prolong the lifespan of your monitor by preventing defective pixels from spawning.

This screensaver does not come with its own animations, but uses your desktop to create one instead, by dividing your workspace into several rectangular pieces and moving them around in a manner that resembles a sliding puzzle.

There is no other feature, but sitting back and watching it can be quite relaxing, as the animation is not even a bit hastened, so all the pieces slide in a smooth motion, making it pleasant to look at.

Deploying the application on your computer can be accomplished without any significant efforts on your side since the installation process does not require you to perform any complicated configuration. You only need to follow the on-screen instructions.

After successfully setting it up, Windows' native Screen Saver Options window is automatically launched, so that you don't need to spend precious time looking around for it. Here you can adjust the number of minutes the computer needs to be idling before the screensaver is launched.

Clicking the "Settings" button does not let you access any relevant information or configuration menu, which might be a bit misleading for some users. Naturally, using the "Preview" button lets you catch a glimpse of your newly installed screensaver in action.

To sum it up, Shuffle Desktop Screensaver is a simplistic screensaver that divides your desktop into multiple rectangular-shaped pieces and moves them around in a sliding puzzle-like manner. It requires no additional configuration and does not enable you to configure any of its parameters, such as the shapes or sizes of the pieces.
