This screensaver mimics the falling green code seen in the popular 1999 film The Matrix, directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski, and starring Keanu Reeves. Matrix digital rain, as it is called, represents the (encoded) activity of the virtual reality environment that is the Matrix, and is displayed on computer screens throughout the movie. You can customize the rain by adjusting the speed, cypher density and font. Additionally, you can insert coded messages into the screensaver, which will be gradually decoded on the screen.

It works well, it would be even better in my opinion if it couod be added to the windows 10 screensaver menu/list.

by Frank Lennon on December 14, 2020

It looks good but. But on my computer this screen saver does not start automatically as every other screen saver will. I could only see it thru ppreview and that was it :(

by mr.raccoon on November 8, 2020

Giving 4 stars only because of the lack of multiple monitor support. Would be spectacular and 5 stars if all monitors were supported as all other customized settings are great!

goood

by Pavol Salagovic on August 2, 2019

I like it, but I've noticed a couple of problems with it.

So I was experimenting with the sliders to get the screensaver how I'd like it and I happened to notice some problems with the Decode Speed slider. First and foremost, the 'Faster' and 'Slower' seem to be flipped. It's really slow when 'Faster' is maxed out and vice versa. Now, not only that, but how fast or slow messages decode impacts how fast or slow encoded messages appear and disappear. Now here's the kicker, when the scrolling text in the background is moving quickly and a message appears, the scrolling text noticeably slows down.

I think that's about it for the issues I've noticed. You obviously have no inclination to improve your old, free screensaver, though if you do I would most certainly appreciate it.

Thank you for your hard work. (Will definitely improve my rating if you do)

this+rage against the machine playing=perfection!

by konr on June 13, 2019

It doesnt work across multiple monitors. But otherwise its exactly what i was looking for.

by Brian on May 28, 2019

I just loved it! When he released the film in 1999 it was easy to find on CD-ROMs that accompanied computer and internet magazines in the 90s. And they were simple and functional, just like this one from the download. Thanks for making it available.
