Transparent screensaver

[r00li]

I am looking for a simple screensaver for my mac. I need something transparent - so I can still see what is going on on my desktop, but have password lock active.

I found transparent 2.2 which does exactly what I want but there is no way I will give 10€ for a screensaver.

I figured it'd be a good challenge and extremely easy to do. Actually, it takes about 2 lines of code to do if you don't have "Require password" option set. Otherwise, it takes a bit more work, but not worth 10€/$15 (greedy developers ).

I call it Pellucid. Requires 10.6+ although it might work fine for 10.5.

Nop! It doesn't work on 10.5.

Ok, I just re-uploaded it built for 10.5. Try it again.

It is working now. But there is a problem - I have dual monitor setup and I get a picture of my both screens on both screens.
