It's cool but the colors are weird-looking on my main monitor (my laptop.)

EDIT: I just found the solution. All I had to do was change the graphics processor that was running it to the integrated one.

Amazing! It has nice presets, and is easily customisable. It looks stunning on all display sizes and is a must have for anyone looking for a good screensaver.
