What is your screensaver right now? How long has it been that way? Perhaps you don't even use a screensaver. Right now I think its set to a slideshow of pictures of our cat (that would be the daughter's doing). I usually set it to dadisms like, bouncing text that says, “Clean your room,” or “You better have done your homework.” Although I have been known to prank them with a BSOD screensaver. The screensaver gets changed often, mostly by the kids, but I will change it once in a while. However, I share that computer with the rest of the family. I mean, I tend to set it and forget about it on the desktop, too. It has been that way since 2012 when I was binge watching the series on Netflix. Initially a screensaver is a type of computer program designed to prevent damage to CRT and plasma computer monitors by blanking the screen or filling it with moving images or patterns when the computer is not in use. It’s exactly like it was on Dexter's lab computer. Today a screensaver is a beautiful image used to decorate a monitor. I just looked on the internet for the blood spatter images that they used on the show, put them in a folder, selected it, and set the screensaver to Ken Burns.

I will go for years without changing my screensaver.įor example, my current laptop screensaver is a homemade version of Dexter Morgan’s from the Showtime series Dexter. Some people change their screensaver more often than they change their socks.
