Hills for Mac1.5

Now hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/nickzman/hills/releases

amazing!!

Quite soothing to gaze at especially when one's consciousness is suitably enhanced through the use of an appropriate medium. It's kinda fun to experiment with different colors of fog. Would be cool if the developer would populate the scene with some additional elements of interest: trees, bushes, and animals/wildlife. Anyway, a really sweet little freebie.

The developer and his web site have disappeared. You can still find a link to the screensaver here: http://www.cultofmac.com/the-hills-screensaver-loves-your-mac Note that, the MIME type on the file is set incorrectly on the CultOfMac web site. If you merely click on the link, you'll get binary trash. You need to Ctrl-Click, then Save As for it to work.

Let me add another 5 stars! Thank you, Chris Kent.

This will be an even more pleasent app to have come winter, God forbid. Nice, nice app. Thanks Kent :-) Summer on you too lad.

While I'm still in the System Preferences, I can alter the screensaver preferences, and I can see the result when I press the Test button. If, however, I move the cursor to my screensaver hot corner, the previous/default options are used. All is then well when I close System Preferences and try again. [G4 PowerBook, 10.4.6] Still says "Look Ahead Disatnace" in the screensaver options panel. Otherwise, wonderful app and screensaver. Love the fog, even evil-coloured ones. Wishes for the future: lakes, forests, even just occasionally a person waving their arms! Thanks for sharing your work on this.

The screensaver works flawlessly for me on an eMac G4 with 384 MB's running under 10.4.6 Tiger. No problems, of any kind to report. Very nicely done, and for free!! Amazing! Keep up the great work!

This looks very cool and it runs fast on my MBP - the problem is that the fly-by speed doen't seem to be constant. It's as if there are two speeds between which it alternates.

There is a typo in the prefs of the screen saver. it should read "Look Ahead Distance". Also, when "Use Main Monitor" is checked the screen saver is black and blue, as in this screenshot Changing the "Grid size" setting seems to randomly trigger that same black and blue screen. Although my video card (ATI 7500) supports up to 4x FSAA, enabling FSAA 2X gives the screen saver a yellowish and garbeled image (click here to view)

Beautiful screen saver. One problem: the pointer stays on-screen.
