Butterfly Oasis Screensaver is one of several available free-of-charge screensavers that you will find on the SoftPlatz web site. As its name correctly indicates, this screensaver shows butterflies in a wide variety of species and situations. One thing to take into account is that this screensaver is not a video based one, that is to say, it shows still images of butterflies so don’t expect to see them flying around your desktop. According to that, and as natural as can be for you, this screensaver doesn’t include sounds. This could be a downside for some and an advantage for others, you make your choice.
The screensaver includes a settings dialog, not very nice by the way. There you will find several aspects of the application to configure according to your likes. Some aspects are in regard of transition effects and its duration, others are in regard of a clock that the screensaver can show on your desktop so you can check the time without closing the saver, and other aspects are in regard of slide number, which can be turned on and off.
This screensaver runs on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/2003/XP but not Vista. It requires, as a minimum, 16 MB of RAM and a Pentium II processor. Once you have successfully installed the screensaver in your computer you need to put it to work. To do that, follow the following steps:
1. Click the Start button in Windows.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Control Panel.
4. Double click the Display icon.
5. Select Screen Saver tab.
6. Select “Free Living Butterfly”.
7. Click either Preview or Settings.

This toolkit is 100% free for anyone who programs on WinForms. The only controls that are not free are the ribbon bars, navigator, and workspaces; but chances are, you wont be coding with those. If you program in VS (even 2010) and write WinForm programs (even in C#), then get this toolkit!
