Does or will Tiger have a screensaver option available for the login screen? I run a lag of eMacs and would love to have the screensaver running on the login area. I remember someone posting this would be in Panther, but it is not.
Thanks

I don't think this will be happening, although there are third party apps that let you run screensavers as desktop backgrounds.

The main reason for not doing this, is that it is a resource hog.

This should work. I haven't tried it myself, but it should work!

We're talking about login window screensavers not desktop screensaver

I think that without anyone logged, there is no context in which to run a screensaver. This might require some work at the lower level of the OS.

When you start your computer `root' user is "logged in": that means `cron' and things like that work. That's why the "hint" I posted works [read the comments to that hint to see the best way to do it]
