Move over stock nature images, personal photos, and trippy ,
pre- installed moving scenes, screensavers just got way more useful.
Earlier this week, Life hacker shared a tool that allows users to use
live websites as their screensaver in just a few simple steps. Whether
it's your favorite cat-related Tumblr or the site beloved by curious
knowledge junkies everywhere, your away screen can now display what's
happening in real time out there on the world wide web.
To get it, download the Web View Screensaver program
posted by Github user liquid. Once installed, the program will present
you with a window like the one shown above, where you can add or change
the URL for a new screensaver. The preview will show how the page will
appear when your computer takes a nap, and there are other settings to
tweak the new gadget to perfection.
Life hacker came up with the smart idea to use one of Giphy's TV pages
as a screensaver so that the animated images can play automatically on
your screen. A weather site or news site would also be helpful; since
the program loads the screensaver from the URL, you can still see all
the updates even when we're not actively browsing.
The
Web ViewScreensaver program also works with GIF URLs and has sound
capabilities, so at the very least you can have a little fun with your
coworkers by using classic videos in the place of pretty pictures.
Its cool and amazing you get the latest web updates whether its music ,news ,videos or whatsoever while your offline.
