Hehe, nicely randomly generated city. It should work well with with computers 5+ apparently.

I used to use one of the ReallySlick savers, but It sucked up battery power too much and overheated the thing too easily.

Also, that pixelcity thign looks like crap on here, does it have some sort of config to it (ran it right from the .rar)

I can't use screen savers. For some reason, they like to turn on while I'm playing a game and it tends to freeze up said game.

Helios or Hyperspace on two screens is wow.

Course, so is The Matrix screensaver.

And you sound like you have graphics card issues or something not set up right.

HEY CAN YOU SEE ME
My screensaver on my MacMini is LotsaEscher. It is awesome. Don't stare at it too long, it fucks with your eyes.

The one on this Mac needs to be changed. I think I'll set it to Soundstream, my favourite sound-responsive screensaver.

Also while you're on there, pick up Screenprint32. Best windows print screen app you'll ever find. (It's up there as 'snagit good')

I still use the official ElectroPlankton screensaver.


That Pixel City thing looks really pretty.

Edit: Too bad it doesn't look so good on my computer.

The video looks cool, but I couldn't get it to run. Wine doesn't run .SCRs I guess. As for what screensaver I use, it just picks one at random until I remember to kill xscreensaver.

Yep, same here. Although a lot of these sound pretty awesome.

Put /s at the end of the command line. (See here for details.)

I don't use screensavers.

Used to use Plasma (ReallySlick) though... And as for my DSL comp, Xscreensaver actually uses up too much CPU time for my comfort.

I don't use screensavers either. I just have it turn off my monitor.

To me it's just a bit of a waste of electricity. I mean, sure, they look nice, but really, how important is how something looks that, by design, only shows up when you're not there to see it?

Yeah. It saves a lot more electricity for the monitor to just turn off. I also think of all that CPU time it's wasting... and potentially wasting life of the CPU just to draw pretty images.

Monitor sleep mode is just as ncie, too. I actually have my DSL comp set up to do such, as well, but I'm not quite sure how I managed, if I even did anything.

I just nudge the table a bit to wake them up.

With all of these really awesome screensavers, it would be nice if someone had a way to randomize which one the computer uses.

I don't bother with screen savers, I usually just turn off the monitor. Mainly since I have a laser mouse, which is a bit oversensitive and does not allow screensavers to appear.
