AshUK Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 On Mac OS X, one of the many pretty things about the OS is its default screensaver; Flurry. Well now Flurry has been ported for Windows and it looks great!!! You can download flurry here Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/97445-windows-port-of-flurry-screensaver/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AQUaDeX Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/97445-windows-port-of-flurry-screensaver/#findComment-1119080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted August 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted August 30, 2003 Very cool, but is it just me or can you not alter the amount of flurries?

Tran Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 That is a sweet screensaver! Glad to see it ported to Windows. It is currently my favorite (and in use) screensaver.

I8PP Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 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? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/97445-windows-port-of-flurry-screensaver/#findComment-1119146 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOPL Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Is there a port of the Mac Picture Slideshow Screensaver? I'd really like to have something similar to that with the cool transitions.

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.

stokd Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I just downloaded it. That's really sweet! I dunno if the "test" of the screensaver is just slwoer, but when I set it as the screensaver and it does the little preview thing, it seems to go a lot faster and looks cooler.

Elliot B. Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/97445-windows-port-of-flurry-screensaver/#findComment-1119938 Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Bloody thing makes my machine restart :angry: . Anyone else have this problem? Works fine here - what error do you get ?

TwiztedCam Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 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.
