****UPDATE*****
We have made a cool set of screensavers from some of the favorites from Haint Retro.
We call it Haint Darkness. They are dark so that they save energy too!
that are available for download here
from haint.info
Since we are using our big screen TV as a monitor, having a good screensaver is necessary.
We like the 'hot corners' on our Mac screensaver options. It makes it easy to just move the mouse to a corner and automatically go into screensaver mode.
There are many things that we do for screen savers. Since we often listen to music on the computer with iTunes, we often use the visualizer in full screen mode as a screen saver. This is a far out visualizer on the 'jelly' option, (it does not have 'hot corners').
There are many sites that offer things like '60 free wallpapers/screensavers'. They are okay, we even found one we liked. But watch the quality, there are often just a few cool ones in the batch.
We also get nice pictures from places like APOD, National Park Service, NOAA,
(it's nice to get something nice from the government for a change -haint) and National Geographic.
Another thing that we have done is to take a 'snapshot' of a video with VLC (meda player reviewed in earlier post). This seems like it should be an okay use for stills(snapshots) from your own videos for use on your own computer, it would probably not be okay to copy and distribute these stills. It seems that the copyright issues on that sort of thing is a big hassle right now and we don't want to do anything illegal or encourage anyone else to either.
Keep it cool 'til next time
peace and love
