It's been awhile since I've updated my screen saver. I guess I kinda got sick of the default ones which usually show random shapes flying all over your screen — headache much? Needless to say, I need a new one, so when I came across Dropclock, an ingenious and minimalistic screen saver, I knew I had to take it for a test drive. What's neat about DropClock is that it features a motion clock where every minute of real time is numerically expressed with a number dropping into water in slow-motion. Check out the video below to see what I mean. DropClock is available for download for both Mac and Windows operating systems.

137MB download?! What on earth did they put in it?!
1Eh. Not so much. Plus at 137MB I'm wondering what else they've put in there. I'm really leery about spyware.
2I would like to try this out, but am a little challenged... how do you chose it as your default screensaver?
3Very cool!
4i much prefer Fliqlo. a very clean and nice clock screensaver and only 1.17MB.
5I read about this in the Download Dispatch from download.com (mac version) - and had thought it sounded kinda cool... I have been using a flickr screensaver, so my screensaver is random pictures from flickr... but am considering switching to this... hm.
6I have the Fliqlo one as mentioned by zalary and I love it! I've actually gotten a lot of compliments for it.
7Yeah I'm going to have to say no to 137mb's for a helper app. Nothing like slowing the machine down. It is VERY pretty though. I don't think you could do something with realistic water rendering for much smaller though.
8i agree. this is a lot better than the random shapes, but i don't think it's that great to sacrifice my computer speed
9It is pretty! But, it kind of gives me a headache.
10I love it!!! Three cheers for Helvetica!
11calamari- noooooooooooooooo. Helvetica is the bane of my font troubleshooting life
12Ha!!! That's funny Macgirl.
Okay, three cheers for "Helvetica Neue" (I think there's only one version of that font floating around).
Really though, it's too bad that you have to end up dealing with folks who don't manage their fonts better. Having 15 different versions of Helvetica open on your computer is going to slow it down more than a 137mb screensaver
13what about the Kaze screensaver?
14137 MB dl? I just have to say...wow!
