Be careful with Screen Peace. The version I was trying out would hand up the system really bad (as in HAD to do a cold-boot) if running Screen Peace and File Manager at the same time. It would hang if you tried to click onto a floppy drive that didn't have a disk in it. You'd get the abort/retry window, and that's all for that session. It was a neat little package... could write your own animation sequences with a separate package, and it would randomly choose between the sequences you had installed. Shame about the bug though..

Desktop has a screen blanker in there that can use a password to disallow others from getting into your work while you are away it has bit maps, rocks, and vectors for screen prettys while active.
