screensaver with psychedelic patterns


Hi!

Some years ago there was an screensaver that would turn your screen first into a single color and then start producing CRAZY psychedelic patterns that would be almost repeated in a number of square zones. Does anybody know what it was?

Nope. The one I say, your screen would be split into many (say, 24 in 6x4) squares each one going crazy with patterns (very similar to each other to start with) that would start modifying their color patterns inside in a very organic manner..... the patters were extremely beautiful and they produced a "wave" like sensation from the way that colors started to show up, change and come back.... I think that it could induce seizures on people that were visually sensitive.

Drats, thought I was close.

I'll look through all of my screensavers and see if they give me the exact description you've given.
If so; I'll let you know.

Ok.... gotta create another question thread cause the application is installed (can even run it) but can't see it in KDE's system settings.
