UpTime Screen Saver v1.02
Display your Windows session uptime on a fully customizable screensaver
A Utility Screensaver That Works for You
How long has your computer been running? Whether you are a system administrator tracking server uptime, an IT professional monitoring workstation stability, or simply someone curious about how long your current Windows session has been active, UpTime Screen Saver gives you the answer every time your screensaver kicks in.
Unlike generic screensavers that show meaningless patterns, UpTime Screen Saver is a utility that provides real information. It displays your current Windows session duration in either short or long time format, with optional millisecond precision for exact tracking. The display is completely customizable -- choose any background color, text color, font type, and font size to match your style or your organization's branding.
You can display the uptime as a smooth scrolling marquee that glides across the screen, or switch to bounce mode where the text moves around in all directions, left-right only, or up-down only. Control the speed and movement pattern to get exactly the look you want. UpTime Screen Saver is an essential tool for users who demand more from their machines -- and it works on both desktop and server editions of Windows.
