Windows port of Flurry screensaver


Recommended Posts

I think I am starting to love this icon:

(Y)

I wanted a flurry screensaver on my PC to match my Mac for a long time already, and I remember I did saw another port of it to Windows and it looks nothing like the Mac flurry (OS X 10.2 one - I know there are quite a number of versions) but this simply (Y)(Y)(Y) :D

Nice! I wonder if other screensavers will be ported :shifty:

On a side note, i seem to have lost the screensaver file association. So what does the *.scr file open with?

I don't think it does open with anything. Just copy the file to C:\Windows and it will be in your screen saver list in Display properties.

Is there a port of the Mac Picture Slideshow Screensaver? I'd really like to have something similar to that with the cool transitions.

thats an awesome screensaver! thanks for the link!

here is something like the mac picture slideshow screensaver

Bloody thing makes my machine restart :angry: . Anyone else have this problem?

If you're using Windows XP (2000 may do this too), then you are getting BSOD errors whilst the "automatically restart with BSODs" option is enabled lol. I can't remember how to disable it, sorry

Maybe it's just my slow computer, but when I click preview/test it goes real slow and looks nothing like the preview window in the screensaver tab, where it goes fast and moves around the screen, btw, I'm using Fire style.

But anyways, I like how it's supposed to look.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
