Starfield — Flying Through Stars, Full Screen
Stars streaming past from a vanishing point in the centre of the screen — the screensaver that shipped with Windows and defined what a screensaver looked like for a decade. Adjustable speed, density and warp.
What people use the starfield for
Ambient motion on a spare display
Calm, dark and non-distracting. Good as background motion that will not pull your eye the way a video would.
Nostalgia and set dressing
Instantly reads as nineties computing. Useful for themed events, retro streams and film-set-style backgrounds.
Dark-friendly screensaver
Mostly black with small bright points, so it is easy on the eyes in a dark room and gentle on OLED power draw.
