Ahhh, matrix code, good times. I'm currently rocking the iTunes album art one, if you have a fair amount of music it's pretty nice, plus you have the option of playing music through the screen saver if you want.

I put the screen to sleep. Why waste power?

I use it at work and it would piss me off if it kept going to sleep every time i come back to it. Prefer to use a screen saver 🙂

Just found this one and its very cool. Ripples across the screen 🙂

I use iTunes album art work.

I would but I'm not sure work would approve of some of the album covers.

I use the RSS feed one.

Mine doesn't sit long enough to use one, I just put it to sleep if I'm away from my desk for a few moments. Closing it, protects it better anyway 🙂

Remember those classic Windows 98 screen savers? With the mazes, etc, etc.? Haha.

I don't think I saw this posted but I think XScreensaver is the best OS X/Linux collection of screen savers ever put together. There are almost 50 different savers included.

There is something for everyone: Amiga users, Atari users, Apple II users (it is one of my favorites!), After Dark fans...you name it.

You can grab it here.


You can see the list here.

EDIT:

Great Star Trek one here.



Enjoy!

What screen saver 😛

None!

 

[yusukeaoki]

I use the clock one called Fliqlo.

Yet I think this defeats the purpose of screen saver 😛

Yeah, this one would be good if it actually worked... All I get is a black screen with water ripples. Doesn't work with desktop.

 

[judgejohn82]

I use the iTunes artwork as well.

Talking of which, does anyone know if it is possible to use this without iTunes creating a playlist every time?

Yea, I found that yesterday. Thought it was something I had done but guess not.

Shame 🙁

I just use the preinstalled ones when I have a need. Most of the time I just put it in sleep mode though.

Speaking of screen savers:

I was hoping somebody on here might have stumbled upon this:

WARNING: LOUD RADIO MUSIC WILL PLAY WHEN PAGE LOADS

I wanted to grab it but the download link seems to be dead.

Anybody here have it?

-P

 

[mrsir2009]

I don't. I shut my MBP's lid 🙂

I contacted the developer and he said you have to disable the option that requires password to wake your Mac up after a while. Only then that screensaver will work properly.
