I just got an LCD monitor Samsung 930B (god its so sweet) and an X800
Pro, i want a decent screensaver but all the websites are full of junk
and spyware and they want money. Anyone happen to know some good ones?
http://www.ati.com/developer/screensavers.html includes a couple of screen
savers made by ATI, designed to showcase various chips. Totally free.
Installs various start menu shortcuts and shit, but this is easily cleaned
up. The biggest bummer is that there is a sticker on the saver with the logo
for whatever card it was designed for, regardless of what card you actually
run it on. Probably your best bet if you really want to showcase your
hardware.
http://www.reallyslick.com/ has a handful of no-nonsense open source OpenGL
3D screen savers. Not very advanced, but very configurable, and some really
nice effects can be achieved if you take the time to experiment. Some of
these also work well on older hardware.
http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~gstitt/motionpicture/ is not really 3D, but uses your
graphics card to resize, zoom and crossfade images extremely smooth, making
it far more interesting for a screen saver slide show than the crappy 80's
wipe effects commonly associated with slide shows under Windows.
