Snow Globe Screensaver
The Snow Globe screensaver shows a calm ambient scene of glittering flakes swirling after a gentle shake, then settling quietly. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Snow Globe screensaver works
The saver simulates hundreds of glittering flakes suspended inside a glass-globe silhouette.
Periodically, a gentle "shake" impulse sends the flakes swirling before they slowly settle again.
A soft vignette and glass highlight give the scene a cozy, enclosed feel.
The cycle repeats indefinitely at an unhurried, calming pace.
A worked example
A slow shake sends the flakes swirling in a soft vortex, which gradually calms as they drift back down to rest at the base.
