I know Windows provides for them, but are Screensavers still a thing?

Yeah, my screens all tend to turn off way before any screensaver will kick in.

This suggests it can do it. https://instantstorm.com/ ... But hasn't been updated since Win8! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Yeah, I imagine the arm variant isn't great for compatibility with x86 binaries

I love screensavers. I go out of my way to use them on any device I can. If interested, check out Really Slick Screensavers. They've got some cool stuff. Good way to test out a device's performance too. |

I am probably going to try and make a couple of screensavers. Unfortunately, I no longer have my screensaver maker software.

Do Macs have screensavers?

On windows a screensaver is just a .exe renamed to .scr that requires a command argument. I have no idea how Mac screensavers work, but they do have them.

Clickteam fusion still exports windows screensavers including ability to define a settings screen. If you have it or am older version, I think they all still work for win 10 and 11.

TY for the reminder, Andy. I do have Fusion somewhere that I picked up in a Humble Bundle that I never downloaded. I used to have some lovely Blitz Plus source somebody posted that I made screensavers from, but sadly that is amongst the stuff that got lost. Literally lost all my Blitz source, including all of the stuff I had going back to the first forum on everyone.net. I will have to try and read up on the Mac side, but knowing Apple, somehow you will need a Mac to create them. |
