Puffer Fish Screensaver 1.2

The first thing you need to know about the RateMyScreensaver-developed Puffer Fish Screensaver is what it is and what it can do for you. As the application’s name so adequately points out, this is a screensaver – a screensaver that has something to do with puffer fish. That much is obvious from the application’s name. Here comes the part that is not obvious from the app’s name.

Puffer Fish Screensaver is a traditional slideshow screensaver, a collection of 17 images of puffer fish. If you’re not sure what the 'slideshow' part in 'slideshow screensaver' means, here’s a brief explanation: the screensaver display an image for a bit, then moves on to another image, displays that one for a bit, then moves on to another image, and so on and so forth. The screensaver uses various transition effects to switch from one image to another.

Here’s another thing that is not immediately obvious by looking at the application’s name - Puffer Fish Screensaver is freeware. This means you can use this application for as long as you want without paying a dime in return.
