Sublime, sublime, sublime !
Especially the "undertow" preset :-)
Been using this for well over a decade : from my very first Android Phone (Sony Xperia X10 Mini), to my many and various Macs and Linux desktops / laptops.
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.
Looks awesome and mesmerizing. Lots of options for customization!
Doesn't work with Windows 10 1803 and Nvidia 397.64WHQL: video freezes after 10 secs
Best. Amazing. Exactly what I am looking for.
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.
