THUS.SPAKE.Z  Works just fine on my MacBook Pro Intel core 2 duo w/10.5.8. Wallsaver's U.I. isn't as polished/slick as xBack's (been using xBack for several years...it's $10), however, Wallsaver runs my all time favorite screensaver, "Electric Sheep" smoothly and without issue while xBack crashes every time when trying to run it.

It would be nice if Wallsaver had a setting to utilize screensaver options just as xBack does, though.

A menu bar icon to invoke Wallsaver's features would be sweet....xBack has one.

With the above mentioned additions, I'd be willing to pay a few drachmas for Wallsaver.

STEVEN GOODHEART  Awesome! Snow Leopard compatibility! Now works great. After installing SL, I missed using Wallsaver - thanks so much to the developer for this great *free* app!

WC_SCOTT  I love it! The motion across my pictures is way cool! If you have the Apple series of HQ pictures, this app makes them look even better.

Thumbs up!

HELIOS9  Nice and simple. Works smoothly.

Would be sweet if it could be accessed via a menu bar icon.

Not nearly as slick and refined as xBack, though. That one's $10.

ROADHOG7  Activated Wallsaver on my Intel iMac and it worked beautifully. One problem it disables the secure log-in to get past the screen saver or awake from sleep. Can't risk loss of secure log-in.

MTCOBRA  Doesn't work if you're using Camouflage. If the icons are hidden by Camouflage, the chosen screensaver will not display.

Odd: While trying out Wallsaver (with Camouflage running), and finding it didn't work, I Zapped the app and all associated files. Then I noticed my screensaver flashed, and on a hunch, I told Camouflage to Show Icons. Bingo, the program was running. I guess the script had run it course, and deleting the program had no effect (until I reboot, I assume). Odd.

But since I really enjoy Camouflage, I'll not be re-downloading Wallsaver.

Otherwise, good program - just makes you kinda seasick when your desktop is moving around.
