Change Of Seasons Screensaver 1.0

The aim of this Windows screensaver offered free of charge by Wallpaper Screensavers seems to be to take you on a virtual ride through nature, to show you the beauty of nature. Change of Seasons Screensavers achieves its goal by presenting you with 16 images that, as the application’s name so adequately points out, depict the changing seasons.

Change of Seasons Screensavers shows up when your computer goes idle, displays an image for 10 seconds (that’s the default setting), then uses a transition effect to move to another image, displays that for 10 seconds, then uses another transition effect to move to another image, and so on and forth. The screensaver will thus take you out of your boring office and onto a virtual ride through nature.

If you like one of the images the screensaver displays, you can set it as your desktop background. You can do so with a simple key press – to be more precise, by pressing F2 on your keyboard. Don’t press F1 instead as this will launch Internet Explorer and direct you to wallpaperscreensaver.net.

Here are a few other things Change OF Seasons Screensaver lets you do:
- Select the order in which the images will be displayed.
- Select the amount of time an image will be displayed before transitioning to the next image.
- Select what transition effects the screensaver will use.
- Select the speed of the aforementioned transition effects.
- Adjust the screensaver’s behavior. You can set it up so the screensaver doesn’t exit when you move the mouse for example.
