Splendid Trees Screensaver 2.4

Sitting behind your computer, in your small cubicle all day long, you don’t get to see beautiful trees, now do you? Even if you look out the window, chances are you will see buildings and more buildings, not trees. If you miss seeing some trees, there is something you can do about it.

You can get a free Windows screensaver that displays trees, like the aptly named Splendid Trees Screensaver, which is offered by free-slidehow.com. When your computer goes idle, this screensaver will kick in, and display various images of trees. You will see pine trees, and palm trees, and other species of trees I know very little about.

Splendid Trees Screensaver is a slideshow screensaver. By default it displays an image for 3 seconds (you can change this amount of time from the Settings menu), then uses a transition effect to move to another image (you can select which transition effect you want the screensaver to use and you can adjust the speed of the transition effect).

From the Settings menu you can also choose if you want the screensaver to “Cycle through all effects”, you can select the background color, and you can enable the “Put wallpaper on desktop” option (one of the screensaver’s images will be turned into your wallpaper).
