Fenêtres Volantes make them fly! After some idle time that can be set in the System Preferences, the windows take off the screen and flutter in the void. On a mouse move, the windows immediately come back and stuck to their original position. http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/calming/fenetres_volantes.php http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/calming/fenetres_volantes.php Calming Tue, 27 Feb 2007 00:41:27 +0000 The BTFishes screen saver looks for nearby Bluetooth devices (e.g. cell phones and other computers), and for each device summons a unique, colourful fish.

Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience. You can also design your own sheep and submit them to the gene pool.]]> http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/internet/electric_sheep.php http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/internet/electric_sheep.php Internet Tue, 23 Jan 2007 20:30:57 +0000 The best way to describe this one is as a glowing ball emitting a shower of colorful sparks as it travels randomly across the screen — kind of like a pixie!

It uses quite a bit of CPU power. There are configuration options to vary the accuracy of the simulation to fit the processing power available. http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/hypnotic/lotsawater.php http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/hypnotic/lotsawater.php Hypnotic Sat, 02 Dec 2006 00:36:54 +0000 ClockSaver is a port of the Screensaver-module "KClock" found in the KDE Desktop Environment to Mac OS X. It shows a simple but elegant analog clock where you can customize the colors for the clock hands, the color for the clock scale, whether a second hand should be visible, and the size of the displayed clock. http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/calming/clocksaver.php http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/calming/clocksaver.php Calming Sat, 02 Dec 2006 00:16:24 +0000 SpaceTime Screensaver for OS X demonstrates a 3D animated warp speed effect and star field skymap.

Simple enough, but the oh-so-clever part is that it uses a semi-physical model for growing each snowflake, meaning every snowflake is actually unique, and also that it uses a quite a bit of processing power. But that's the price you pay for indivduality! http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/calming/lotsasnow.php http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/calming/lotsasnow.php Calming Fri, 01 Dec 2006 23:46:37 +0000
This screensaver will not crash your Mac. It will not give you Windows. It will not hurt your cat, dog, family member, or other pet. It will, however, display one of over 200 highly realistic BSODs -- complete with real stop codes and messages and dynamically-generated memory addresses. Basically, it will look just like a real, not-so-live Windows crash -- enough so that you could actually look up what the error codes mean in Microsoft's documentation. (But why would you?)]]> http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/humour/bsod.php http://osxscreensavers.co.uk/humour/bsod.php Humour Fri, 01 Dec 2006 23:41:19 +0000
