I'm seeking for more cool screen savers for my iMac G5.

I'm tired of apple's 'Forest, Cosmos, Flurry, Beach and World Book Screensaver' I have found "rollercoaster' somewhere.

I am wondering if there's a link that contains plenty different kind of screen savers for Apple mac users?


Thanks

If you know Java or Objective you could program a pretty cool screensaver yourself. I made a nice little fractal screensaver using recursion on my iBook. I get all warm and fuzzy inside whenever it comes on because I made it myself.

But no, I don't any good places to download screensavers. Except for the Nvidia/ATI websites (depending on which card you have).

To be honest, I've always liked Neko.saver, one of the oldest screensavers for OSX. There's just something about cute little animated cats

I have a really simple one that just simulates rain drops hitting the screen. Extremely simple. Before that, the one that I liked using was one called Flow, I think. It could do all sorts of insane things.

Fluid is really cool.


SolarWinds is pretty neato, too.

Fluid is great.

If you have .Mac, you can get FreeFall as a screensaver. Much better than the crippled demo available. My fave now.

I love that screensaver. I didn't know they released it for free. I waited months for them to come out with the final version they showed off and was pissed cause there was no free screen saver. Now there is. Thanks for posting it.

Any desktop backgrounds or photos or just about any other images on your HD can be used as screen savers too
