Windows 10 starfield screensaver.
This is by far the very best star screen savers one can find. Lost hard drives etc....I will reinstall each and every time. Have had since 98 and wouldn't change it for one second.
Who can ask for more than the 'moon and stars'?

I LOVE this moon screensaver! It is wonderful to sit back and watch the stars "fall into place"! I also like that I can see the current moon phase. Blessings and thank you.

I've been a StarMessage user since version 3. What I like the most about it is the twinkling of the stars and the accurate moon phase. And I LOVE that the screen saver is now compatible with dual monitors! Also like being able to change the size of the moon. Would like to see more random, twinkling stars. Not a big fan of the new static, "starry sky background". I keep that turned off so just the random stars can be seen. The only thing I miss is the countdown, time, and day counter messages from version 4 and below. The falling stars look ALOT better than in previous versions of the screen saver! Thanks again for keeping this wonderful screen saver going!

A simple but unique sky screensaver! You get all the information you need about the Moon Phases without clattering your screen. It really reminds of the summer night sky, and brings a smile to my face when it turns on. I love the fact that I can write my own message and dream on. Great quotes that make you think and smile! Well done!!

I discovered StarMessage Screensaver about 18-19 years ago, after I purchased my first PC and was looking for some screensavers by searching on the Internet. I liked it, so I downloaded the free version which I used along with a Halloween screensaver, my two favourite screensavers. Time passes. Some years ago, after several computers and notebooks (or laptop, if you prefer) has changed, with consequent loss of data almost every time, by talking with my old friends about the past and how computer world has developed in these 20 years, I remembered my favourite screensaver. Therefore I made a search with Google and found that StarMessage was still existing, so I immediately downloaded it and some weeks of use I registered it. When I was young I liked to see the name of my girlfriend written by the stars on my tower PC screen. Today I like to watch the name of my wife (yes, it's the same name and girl of 20 years ago) and the name of my two children aged 5 and 8 years written by the stars on my notebook screen

I have been using the screensaver for many years, I would guess 8 or so. I found the newer version on Facebook on your site. I love the moon phases feature.
I think I use most of the options available and it is perfect just as it is!
Thank you for developing it!

I had the screensaver originally as a freebie with a Moon phase software program, when I re-installed the software, the screensaver was no longer included with the extras so Google helped me find you again!

What I like about Starmessage - the realistic Moon, the accurate Moon phase and the customisable messages. I wouldn't mind some more stars (I know, I'm greedy!) but aside from that, I like it just the way it is :)

I love this software and have used it for years! I even had a 10-year old PC die with the original program and the support team was kind enough to grant me another activation code for the new PC! Thank you for the excellent program!

Can you tell me why this screensaver makes a “cuckoo” noise on a regular basis? I have purchased the software.

Hi Linda, you are using the Windows screensaver edition of StarMessage. Under the screensaver's settings you can go to the "Sounds" tab and switch off the Cuckoo clock sound that is heard every hour. We added this setting because some people wanted to have a cuckoo clock screensaver.

All of the different software that came and went over the last 15+ years….
StarMessage remains my favorite and will remain installed running for as long as I am.
