WHAT'S NEW
Version 5.08:
  • New hack, photopile.
  • Rewrote sonar and jigsaw as OpenGL programs.
  • Minor tweaks to maze, m6502, hypnowheel, and timetunnel.
  • Savers that load images now obey EXIF rotation tags.
  • Arrgh, more RANDR noise! Fixes this time for rotated screens, and for systems where RANDR lies and says the screen size is 0x0.
  • When the password dialog has timed out or been cancelled, don't pop it right back up a second time.
  • Password timeouts/cancels don't count as ``failed logins''.
  • Retired some of the older, less interesting savers: say goodbye to bubbles, critical, flag, forest, glforestfire, lmorph, laser, lightning, lisa, lissie, rotor, sphere, spiral, t3d, vines, whirlygig, and worm.
  • Merged munch and mismunch.
  • Updated webcollage to use twitpic.com as well.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

AETNARIA  Over 200 screen savers in this download. Check out the screenshots on their website to decide which ones you'll give a spin in your Screen Savers folder, as while some are 'meh' others are pretty good.

You can always toss the ones you don't want afterwards.

IDJSTER  203 screensavers and a readme file. Doesn't that make 25 meg sound a bit more reasonable? Some of these screensavers are just wonderful! You'll be missing something if you don't dl it.
