Favourite Screensaver?


What are your favourites? Feel free to link us up to ones that don't come defualt with KDE.

Mine: AntSpotLight
One I'd like to see: OpenGL Chess (cpu vs cpu)
Its simply amazing. I imagine they could make it even better. But heck.. its great as it is.

Also a question-- How are these screensavers made? Could I modify ones that come with KDE?

I agree with you, Antspotlight is really good and is the default on all my systems. I just love it.

I like coming back to my computer and getting dazzled by solar winds, it's probably my favourite.

I'm a big fan of the Really Slick Screensavers port - if you have hardware 3D acceleration and a nice monitor, they really turn heads (a couple of them almost turn stomachs ).

Solar Winds (mentioned above) is one of these - I especially like Skyrocket and Euphoria.

I am not a big fan of screensaver. But I switch my desktop PC off whenever I leave it for more han say half an hour (I am an environmentally conscious computer user)
