I created a screen saver using the mighty power of Quartz Composer which will colour your screen the current (Chromo colour):
"Chromo™ is a colour clock that helps your body understand what time it is.

In addition to providing an ultimately simple indicator for time, Chromo™ also presents a possible cure for jet-lag, Seasonal Affective Disorder [SAD] and other light/time related illnesses. "

Pretty simple but also quite nice hope you all enjoy it.

I wish I could try it, but I've only got Panther. It's an interesting theory.

It's cool, but really kind of a boring subject as a screen saver.

I like it. This is going to get set as a dynamic wallpaper for my second screen at work.

Thanks!

Damn, anyone know a way to set a quartz composition as a desktop background only on the second monitor?

Tried QCDesktop and QuartzDesktop, both render on both screens.

ok...

it porbably a good idea, but why oh why do you need to have a quartz extreme enabled mac to display a solid colour on a screen?!!?

do you think you could compile it for macs with crappy graphics cards?

thanks
