Doea anyone know where I can get more modules for the OS X Screensaver? I tried the ones that are on my iDisk but they don't work with OS X 4K78

Thanks in advance for your help.

Nope, they don't work on later builds...

In case it's not absolutely clear - and I'm not sure that it is - the screen savers at epicware DO NOT WORK with the Mac OS X 10.0 release.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

He's working on some OS X 10.0 savvy versions though, I think. The ScreenSaver API was cleaned up and made public in 10.0.

Apple posted the Maya screensaver module on the iDisk. I also found DasBlinkenLights on versiontracker. There could be others by now, but yes we need people to start devloping these!

The site has on it today:

Mar 25th, 2001 MacOSXSavers 3.0 released for OS X Final

So it looks like he did whatever he needed to do. I'm trying them out now.

I have a little screensaver for you all.
You can get it at: http://www.swirl-e-design.com/osx/index.html.

I used epicware's source as a starting point. It still needs some work, but it is OK.
