I'm looking a neat screensaver to use...something fun. The seti one is awesome, but I'm getting a little sick of it. Any others? Any other cool looking DC ones?

Also, anybody have an idea why my screensaver won't start up when the computer is locked?

3D Pipes. :p

Well, I used to have an awesome Matrix code screensaver. It wasn't the official one; it was much better. I lost it in a reformat once upon a time, and haven't been able to find it again. That's the only screensaver I've used more than 3D Pipes.

Get the DPAD one. Look in the Distributed Computing forum. It's particle acceleration and unlike SETI it actually has some value... shoot... aliens, pffft.

Any way to make it do its thing on both monitors?

I'd like to have one that makes it look like I'm running a process or something. So when I get off my computer for 2 hours someone can look as see a "process" running taking up all resources.

continue with seti and use the CLI and seti driver that runs in your tray, its produces work units faster than the screen saver. then you can leave it running with your new screen saver

Dremples It can be used as a screensaver or as a moving background. I use it only as a background at the moment. Pretty neat once you see it work.
Can also point the program towards a folder of pics and it will morph them.
