Adrift Screensaver 2.3

Getting the Seraline-developed application Adrift, which is a screensaver for Windows, off the web and onto your computer, will only take a moment – which is nice. Personally I like it a lot when a download completes in a moment. The Adrift download weighs in at a mere 446KB, which is quite lightweight. Even on a less than spectacular internet connection it will only take a moment for the download to complete.

Installing the application will take little time to complete as well. Just launch the executable you downloaded, follow the instructions presented by the setup wizard, and you will be done before you know it. It is a fairly straightforward process that should not pose a problem to anyone, not even the novice computer user.

At the time of writing this and according to the developer, Adrift provides support for several versions of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system. Adrift works with the old but popular Windows XP, with the much avoided Windows Vista, and the latest and greatest, Windows 7.

Once you’re done downloading and installing Adrift, you can enjoy the screensaver free of charge for a trial period of 14 days. Once that trial period is over, you will have to get a license to keep using it. Speaking of using Adrift, what does the screensaver do? Seraline, the screensaver’s developer, explains:

“Adrift draws floating lines across the screen, creating beautiful, restful patterns. Symmetrical and serene, it is one of the oldest products we have, still pleasing and surprising its early users after 15 years. Adrift has been re-designed for Windows XP/Vista/7, guaranteeing hassle-free installation and setup.
Color pulsations add a hypnotic effect to the designs. Watching it can be a bit like meditating.”
