Nature Paintings Free Screensaver

Various areas of the computer can be easily tweaked, including what it does in idle time in the form of screensavers. Windows comes with a variety of default settings in this regard, but it’s also possible to enrich the collection with more third-party collections, and Nature Paintings Free Screensaver is one suitable example.

Pay close attention to the setup process

To ensure smooth performance, it’s a good idea to check for the latest DirectX edition, even though modern Windows features come with it as a default feature. Moreover, the setup process asks to deploy some third-party components which are not required to make the screensaver work, so pay attention every step of the way.
On the other hand, the installer is smooth and over before you realize. The screensaver configuration panel shows up as soon as you’re done going through setup steps, with Nature Paintings Free Screensaver already set as the default item.

Adjust slideshow time values

Hitting the “preview” button makes it run in fullscreen, so you get an idea of whether it’s suitable for your PC or not. All other default options are available, such as the time it takes for the screensaver to kick in, and whether to take you to the log on screen on resume instead.
Unlike most items of its type, Nature Paintings Free Screensaver comes with its own set of configuration options, which refer to general behavior and performance.
There’s the possibility to pick a different resolution for playback, enable vertical sync, as well as decrease processor load for better performance. On the other hand, several sliders let you set transition and picture duration, and whether or not to display a 12 or 24 hour clock.

To sum it up

Bottom line is that Nature Paintings Free Screensaver is a decent PC enhancement you can add to the collection along with others. It can use a different resolution, and play at a custom pace. Sadly, the amount of pictures isn’t great, and there aren’t any options to add more or change them.
