There are all kinds of screensavers out there that you can download for free. Some are based on movies, others are games, some will cycle through pictures you’ve loaded on your hard drive. But my favorite screensaver of all time (apart from maybe Johnny Castaway) is called Fog On Your Desktop.

All it does is fog up your desktop. But what’s cool about it is you can adjust several factors in the fogging process. And you can even have it use your current wallpaper for the image that it fogs (instead of one of its random images or just your screen the way it is at the time), which is really nice when you combine it with something like WebShots and have it choose between a selection of quality images for your wallpaper.

Personally, I like to have images of European scenery for my wallpaper and I like to set the FOYD screensaver to SLOWLY blur everything. Not mixing the colors much, but only slightly offsetting things, so after a while you get an image that looks like you’re looking out a rain-covered window, with the image still vaguely there but blurred nicely.

Pretty cool. And the Fog On Your Desktop screensaver is FREE through sites like Tucows.

So there you go.
