Introducing Turn It On!

Personalization of the Windows operating system is not something new, and has greatly changed with each iteration. Starting from file and folder icons, to a complete remake of the whole OS, third-party applications make it all possible. Targeting one area in particular, Turn It On! lets you take control of your screen saver with one, or two mouse clicks.

Key Features:

• Easy to use interface


• No installation required


• Lightweight application


• Customizable screen saver settings


• Portable - can be used on multiple computers

Technical Specifications:

• Price: FREE


• Compatibility: Windows operating system


• Version: Latest

Don’t be scared if nothing happens when you run the application. It works but it directly goes to the system tray, and if you pay attention, you can easily spot it by the custom icon. In fact, the application doesn’t even have its own interface, but this is only to make it a bit more comfortable and not to waste your time.

Clicking it once makes the color change a bit. Holding the mouse cursor over the icon lets you know that the faded color means your screen saver is disabled. Clicking it again makes the screen saver active. This can come in handy in those situations in which your activity is interrupted forcefully by animated text or any other screen saver you might be using.

Enhanced Control:

To launch it, you merely need to double-click the tray icon. The small control icon placed in the system tray is not all to it. Right-clicking it gives you the possibility to configure your screen saver in case you’re not really happy with the current one. However, there aren’t any special options, since this takes you to the Windows default settings.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Turn It On! is a lightweight application meant to offer you a bit more control over your screen saver. Disabling it at the press of a button is a neat feature, but the lack of a bit more features, like hotkey integration, or a special set of controls have a great impact on overall practicality, leaving more to be desired.
