A simple phrase-based screensaver

[jawadkcl]

I'm after a screensaver that allows me to enter a phrase (in the screensaver settings) that then gets displayed on the screen (perhaps with some cool motion pattern). I don't think something like this gets shipped with the Mac OS itself, which is not nice as it's one of the most generic things you cold think off:-(

Does anyone know of anything suitable?

So are you telling us you are disgruntled that OS X doesn't have that old POS floating text screensaver that Windows has? :eek:

I bet there's something out there similar (but better) ;) I'm not familiar with one but What about this (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/timeflies.html)?

Please help me find something suitable instead of defending Mac OS. I've used Mac for too long to keep comparing it with other OSes.

Anyway, I didn't say it had to be basic. Something with a decent look&feel would obviously be more welcome.

What about this (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/timeflies.html)?^^^^^ Like that?

It doesn't let me enter a text of my choice. It simply displays the current time. Or am I missing something?

BTW, I've tried http://jokke.dk/software/showoff but it makes System Preferences crash, which is a little scary. I don't think it's meant to work on Leopard.

crap, I didn't realize it was only a clock.

I had a quick google trying to find something but came up empty.
