A screensaver that displays the current time can be quite handy, but most of the available ones aren’t exactly imaginative. If you’re looking for something a bit more unique, Zodiac Clock 3D Screensaver may just be what you need.

What’s more, it can also be used as a live wallpaper, and it can play the included background music or any tracks you load from local storage.

You should be able to tell what the screensaver’s theme is from the screenshots, but you have to keep in mind that pretty much every element is in constant motion. The animations look great, although they might make you a bit dizzy if you stare at the image for too long.

The clock borders an animated representation of the globe, with the Sun and Moon orbiting around it. Further out, you can see the twelve astrological signs, and one of them will be highlighted depending on the time of the year.

You should be able to set up the screensaver fairly quickly, and it is also possible to enable a live wallpaper that can be enjoyed even while working; it is controlled from a convenient system tray menu.

Several parameters can be configured, such as which monitors the animation should be displayed on, the visual quality and resolution. Moreover, you can choose to enable the provided background music or load audio tracks saved to a number of popular formats.

All in all, Zodiac Clock 3D Screensaver offers pretty much exactly what you would expect, and it is certainly well designed. It even offers some interesting features, although nothing too spectacular, and it can be used either as a classic screensaver or a live wallpaper, with or without background music.
