FAQ — Ribbons Screensaver
What is the Ribbons screensaver?
Ribbons is one of the screensavers that shipped with Windows 7. Long, silky, translucent ribbons of colour weave smoothly across a black screen, overlapping and brightening where they cross. This page recreates that effect in your browser using HTML5 Canvas, with adjustable ribbon count, width, speed and colour.
Is this the real Windows 7 Ribbons screensaver?
This is an original browser recreation inspired by the classic Windows 7 Ribbons screensaver — flowing translucent ribbon streamers. 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.
How do I run this fullscreen as a screensaver?
Click the animation or press Enter Fullscreen in the sidebar. The ribbons 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.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. This Ribbons screensaver runs entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. There is nothing to download or install. It works on any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.
Can I change the ribbons and colours?
Yes. Use the sliders to set how many ribbons flow, their width, speed, length and glow, and choose Rainbow, Neon, Ocean or Sunset colour schemes. The Silk preset uses many thin ribbons and the Neon preset adds a strong glow.
Is this Ribbons screensaver free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no ads, no watermark. It is one of 122 free browser-based tools at jasperbernaers.com.
