fortunately, i tried before i buy. get rid of the pincushion distortion. it makes me sick. other than that, this one is fine, cheap.

All the comments about LotsaWater are all very well, and I agree that that's a great screensaver that's free.

However, Desktop Puddle is better, and it's pretty cheap. I certainly don't regret paying the shareware fee for my copy; it's my favourite watery screensaver.

Some people are saying that LotsaWater is more realistic than this. I disagree; I've just compared the two and find that (a) they're very similar and (b) for me, Desktop Puddle has the edge. Horses for courses, but I wouldn't call it a valid major criticism of either saver; they both look very good, and are very similar. I think that Desktop Puddle's 3D highlighting option for its waves (which LotsaWater doesn't have) helps and make it look a little more realistic.

LotsaWater has a few more options for controlling the detail of the splashes and dimming the screen, but Desktop Puddle has a couple of worthwhile features that LotsaWater doesn't:

(a) the curved screen depth option, which I personally really like;
(b) better image placement choices (current screen, current wallpaper image or random image from specified folder).

Overall I have to say that this is one of my favourite savers, and I like several other of the UselessCreations ones too. Yes, they're shareware, and generally speaking I don't like paying for screensavers, but I've found several of these to be good enough to be worth the modest fee.

Great screensaver. Realistic look to and great graphics. Highly recommended to anyone looking at a screensaver.

Not to derogate this program, but I have to agree with the previous two posters that LotsaWater just looks more realistic -- and is more entertaining -- than this saver.

Very nice, but I'd like to point out that Lotsawater is free and IMHO looks nicer.
