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.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
