Desktop Saver lets you run just about any screensaver as your desktop wallpaper.

There are many beautiful screensavers available for Mac OS X. However, screensavers are usually only activated when you're away from your computer. With the Desktop Saver application, you can run almost any screensaver live on your desktop. This lets you enjoy your screensavers while using your computer.

We find the Desktop Saver works best with tranquil screensavers such as the Paper Pilots screensaver (http://www.paperpilots.com).

Major Features

  • The Desktop Saver
  • What's New
    Version 1.6:

    Note: Desktop Saver v1.6 is sandboxed. Sandboxing uses the security technology built into Mac OS X to provide a level of assurance that screensavers downloaded from the internet can't corrupt your system or steal your data.

    Changes:

    • Support drag & drop to add photo folders and screensavers to the sandbox
    • New consistent interface to add photo albums & screensavers to the sandbox
    • Support for choosing a non-standard folder for iPhoto albums
    Not all screensavers have been updated to work with the sandbox technology. Screensavers we know do not work in a sandbox include:
    • iTunes Artwork
    • RSS Visualizer (no access to the PubSub framework)
    • Drop Clock (no access to the HID framework)
