Xscrensaver: how to add "DAISY" flowering screensaver?

frenchn00b · 02-26-2011, 04:58 PM

Hello,

Daisy is this marvelous garden of flowers. http://www.sirgalahad.org/paul/sw/winlock/img/daisy.png

However it is not available into xscreensaver, or could be. How can it be added to the xscreensaver-demo / xscreensaver so that it can be launched too (it is not daisy into my list)

Thank you
Cheers

I checked out the link.

It appears to be a Windows program.

It's not going to work with xscreensaver or, indeed, with Linux.

thanks.

well, there is xlockmore, or there was actually, that was using this daisy like screensaver effect. It would be great to use it as well into xscreensaver-demo

Well, individual xscreensavers are *.xml files called by the /usr/bin/xscreensaver set of programs (I just looked--there seem to be eight in the package). They get stored in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config.

If it's an *.xml, you could try dropping it in there. The worst that will happen is that nothing will happen.

I just took a look at GLSlideshow. I don't understand it, but I don't think it would be too difficult to get to understanding it.
