Mystify Screensaver_

Mystify — full name Mystify Your Mind — is a classic screensaver bundled with Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and XP. One or two polygons bounce around the screen with their corners moving independently, and each shape leaves a trail of fading, color-shifting copies behind it, creating hypnotic ribbon patterns. This page recreates the effect in your browser using HTML5 Canvas with adjustable shapes, trails and colors.

This is an original browser recreation inspired by the classic Windows Mystify Your Mind screensaver — bouncing polygons with fading colored trails. It is not affiliated with Microsoft. It runs entirely in your browser so you can enjoy the nostalgia on any modern device without installing the old software.

Click the animation or press Enter Fullscreen in the sidebar. The polygons will fill your entire screen. Move your mouse to reveal the exit button, or press Escape to return to normal view. You can also press F to toggle fullscreen at any time. It looks great on a TV or a spare monitor.
