macOS Monterey Includes New 'Monterey' Screen Saver

[MacRumors]

Apple yesterday provided the release candidate version of macOS Monterey to developers, and the RC represents the final version of Monterey that will be going out to the public on Monday.

In the update, Apple introduced a new "Monterey" screen saver, which is designed to accompany the Monterey wallpaper that was already available.

The Monterey screen saver offers slow transitions through hills and valleys in different shades of pink, purple, and blue, as demonstrated in the video below.

Apple made some major changes in the final beta of macOS Monterey, undoing nearly all of the Safari design changes that had been introduced in June. Safari looks like it did in macOS Big Sur, but there is an option for the new "Compact" Monterey design for those who prefer it.

macOS Monterey is set to be released on Monday, October 25, one day ahead of when the new MacBook Pro models are launching.

Neat...

 

[ProfessionalFan]

The video before Unleashed started yesterday would make for a great screen saver, give us that one Apple

Simple but nice, they should include some more of these.

They should add the flying toaster and castaway. I know a lot of people are too young to remember those.

 

[dadiy]

Screen savers should be banned. Just turn off the screen to save the plant.

Hmm, "Drift" is still my favourite by far!

Nice! We need more wallpapers, Apple.

I always loved lunatic fringe as well, but the flying toasters were great

Is my 2019 27 inch 3Ghz Core i5 iMac powerful enough to run this? Because my iPhone 8 Plus with A11 Bionic can't show falling raindrops in the weather app.

Thanks, but haven’t used a screensaver in, probably 10 years… always use sleep…

 

[MrGimper]

If you’re going to use a screensaver rather than just sleep, consider donating your CPU/GPU cycles to an excellent cause via BOINC

I bought the Pyrothèque screen saver back in the day because I was already nostalgic for Pyro

Pyrothèque – the fireworks screen saver is back

I don't know whether it still works. Cool though

Yea that's a good one, shell also. We use Aerial though, but the 4k vids trigger the fans which is kinda ironic for a screen "saver" heh.

My plant already died.

I really miss the old After Dark ones. There are tons of old school ones here: https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/

Some seem to rev up the CPU a lot, but most are great. They continue to update them.

Don't forget Talking Moose !!

I remember when "Flurry" appeared (Jaguar?). I had been using it on Linux for a couple years before that. Apple was really embracing the Linux/open source ecosystem to get OSX fleshed out back then.

Flying Toasters, yes please

I'd love to see a re-release of After Dark screensavers!

Kids, back in my day, you actually needed screensavers to not destroy your monitor, AND you actually had to BUY them separately because your Mac didn't come with them.

 

[JMStearnsX2]

Yeah, my first Mac was a Performa in 1994 that came with System 7. Ah the beauty of memory management... (or not)

My MacBook Pro told me that 12.0.1 was available, so I did a software update. Is 12.0.1 the RC?

I was running the Public Beta.

You are now running the RC.

I still remember [some of] the words to that song!
