Windows 98 shamelessly tries to get new screensavers out of it by renaming it 'Science' and 'The 60's USA.'Ģ - The different lens styles are interesting to play with, but the excitement doesn't last. One of several lenses bounces around the screen, distorting it. Jungle flora and fauna are randomly drawn to the screen while jungle sounds are occasionally played.Ģ - The art is pretty and the sounds are nice, but there isn't any customization. Occasional beeps and clicks are heard.ġ - The low color count makes it look terrible, and the sound effects are annoying. Rendered circuit components fly across a poorly-colored circuit board. Microsoft tried to get people to take pride in Windows the way Apple geeks were with Macintosh, but the Microsoft user base has never been 'hip.'Ī man sits next to an old radio while photos (and bad clipart) float across the screen making telephone noises.ġ - Annoying sounds, ill-fitting images, and no customization. Like 'Flying Through Space,' but with the Windows logo. Slightly improved version of IdleWild's 'Stars.'ġ - By the time it came out, it was already old hat, and the stars are squares. Should have been called 'poorly rendered shark, ray, and non stop bubble sound effect.' Stingrays and sharks swim across the screen as bubble float up and play the same sound over and over again.ġ - Annoying. Shows images from the various online Web 'channels' you've set up.Ģ - Interesting at the time, but now, even the Microsoft channel is defunct.Ī Bézier curve bounces around the screen changing colors and leaving trails. Renamed to 'Windows 98' in Windows 98.Ģ - A modern take on the old Windows 3 screensavers. The screen is filled with blocks whose faces are made from the how the screen last appeared. Sounds get old fast and no customization. The Windows logo was again undesirable.Ĭustom text or the time bounces around the screen, rendered in 3D, and with shifting colors.Ģ - Decent, although the movement patterns are wonky.Ī few baseball stills randomly fade in and out on a diamond backdrop while stadium sounds are played.ġ - Boring and causes burn-in on the field. One of several 3D objects bounces around the screen.Ģ - A couple of the objects are interesting, but, overall this is dull. There is little customization, the textures are ugly, walls are paper thin, the 3-turn exit of a dead-end is clunky, etc. Really needed more customization.Ī small maze is randomly generated and and the camera moves around inside of it.Ģ - Looks interesting at first, but flaws quickly become apparant. Windows 98 introduced a whole new set of screensavers based on the new desktop themes, although, most of them were pretty awful.Ī colorful cube bounces around the screen, and its points shift inward giving it a passing resemblance to a flower.ġ - Interesting for a few seconds. The tie to IdleWild remained as the default screensaver icon for Windows 95 was the IdleWild icon. Starting with Windows 95, Microsoft built screensavers into the OS and bundled in several, most of which were slightly updated IdleWild screensavers.

Microsoft released a standalone program called IdleWild to add screensavers to Windows 3, which was largely borrowed from After Dark. This page is about the screensavers bundled with Windows over the years.
