Before Dawn screensaver creator software for PC
Before Dawn is an open-source application that brings a set of cute and interesting screensavers for your Windows 11/10 PC and, also lets you create your own screen savers using web-based technologies. You can use javascript, HTML/CSS, or canvas to create your own screensaver. It is a cross-platform application, designed to work on several computing platforms.
Also, the program has a small collection of interesting screensavers for your PC.
Some of my favorites are – Emoji that reacts to the sounds, a tall man dancing on my screen, Quasicrystal, and weird trees.
Once you download and install the program on your PC, its shortcut will sit on your desktop and system tray. Click open it and you can select a screensaver for your PC. You will see a list of screensavers and a preview window. Select a screensaver from the list, check the preview and set it as your screensaver if you like it. If you are confused about your choice, select the Random option, and the program will randomly be changing your screensavers. You can also select the activation time and sleep time for your screensaver here.
Activation time – your screensaver will activate when you leave your computer for this amount of time. The default timing is set to 5 minutes but you can choose it from 1 minute to 1 hour. You can also opt Never here.Sleep time– Your screensaver will stop after this amount of time to save energy. The default sleep time is set to 10 minutes but you can choose it to anywhere between 1 minute to 1 hour or never.
Not only you can enjoy the set of interesting screensavers here but also create your own personalized one. However, for that, you need to know HTML/CSS, javascript, or canvas.
