OS X screensaver

Post by Chris »

Hello folks -

Quick question: is it possible to make a true (i.e selectable from system prefs) screen saver for os x using Rev.

If yes... how?

All the best,

Chris

No that seams impossible.
Unless the screen saver format is in some way just a hidden .app file...
One should look at the documentation on that file format, but I'm very doubtful.

Hi Chris,

please check "OS X Screensaver" of user "designeq" in "Revolution Online".

Rev never stops to amaze me :-)

Thanks for the help chaps. I was hoping not to have to "roll my own", but that sample stack is great and will make it very easy to convert what I have already written to a standalone screen saver.

Thanks again,

Chris

Hey, Klaus, this sounds really interesting, but I can't find it in Rev Online. Am I just missing it? Could someone possible send it to me?

It was probably on the original RevOnline, not certain if Rev transferred everything to the new one, or just decided to start a-new..

I'm afraid that Sean is right, my post was from 2007(!) and that stack obviously did not make it into the new RevOnline.
