Top 10 Mac Screen Savers
In old times, screen savers are used to prevent your screen from Phospor burn-in. Nowadays, screen savers are used for extra entertainment and eye-candy.
With increasing number of screen savers being coded and produced, it's time consuming for you to choose the best that fits your need. Hopefully, I've filtered down to Ten Mac screen savers that will make you droll (and they're all free).
Enjoy!
MovingPhotos 3D Screen Saver
An absolutely beautiful screen saver. This screen saver gives you the freedom on choosing your pictures folder and then works on it to create animation of photos flying around, constructing a virtual building. This is a must have screen saver.
Screen Savers for Internet
Time Machine Screen Saver
This Time Machine screen saver combines the Time Machine space time warp and your trustworthy RSS reader, making it so much of convenience (and awesomeness) for reading your RSS while also running your screen saver.
Flickr Shuffle Screen Saver
This screen saver can load your favorite photos from Flickr, shuffle them, add customizable transition effects and display them as your screen saver. It's worth a try. Really.
The Digg Labs
The Arc of Digg as your Mac screen saver. Everyone should have known about this already.
Colorful Screen Savers
Fireflies
The most colorful Mac screen saver that I've ever seen for now. More colorful than Flurry screen saver.
Solar Winds
Flurry-like Mac OS X screen saver.
Flux
Mac OS X Screen Saver that uses the movement of spheres to create a stunning, colorful composition.
Plasma Tunnel
By watching this screen saver, you will have a feeling of being taken into the depth of the water tunnel. You can customize the color of the tunnel's wall also.
Space Screen Saver
Screensaver X-Galaxy
Screen saver built with a Leopard's nebula concept.
Miscellaneous Screen Saver
Jack O'Lantern
In this screen saver, you can turn gloomy pumpkin lantern into your mac screen saver. Interestingly here you can carve your PNG transparent and make your lantern to be displayed on your screen saver.
You can also find Apple logo as one of the default carving templates provided.

I'm sorry, but that plasma tunnel is SICK!! I'm havin a great time with it--I made it red and black with white fog far in the distance, so it always looks like you're coming to the end of the tunnel, but NEVER quite reach it lmao. And then I got even more creative; I downloaded a widget for OS-X's dashboard called "wallsaver", which allows you to take any screen saver you want, and run it on your desktop as your wallpaper, motion and all. So now I have a permanent plasma tunnel I will never get out of!!! How ironic... good times, to say the least--thanx!!! P.S.--if anyone else decides to do this trick, beware: once you set certain sreen savers in the wallsaver, and click to turn it on, it MAY only show on up a small part of the screen. It is NOT a bad compatibility though! Just click on the " i " at the bottom right corner of the wallsaver button, which usually flips it over for options. But this time it will enlarge the screen saver to fit the WHOLE screen. And then it will be there until you turn it off, which is as easy as reopening the dashboard and clicking the wallsaver button again--HAVE FUN!!!
Ashley
the plasma tunnel is amazing! thanks

I've been using Fenetres Volantes for years. It takes your windows, and kinda stretches out the depth of the screen, and your windows float around inside it. http://www.osx-dev.com/fenetresvolantes/en/index_en.html

Plasma Tunnel-Nice! But If you're not rockin Helios from Crystal XP.Net, you're missing a good mind trip. I'm disappointed with Electric Sheep. It looks cool but I think I have a small herd. Maybe I'll let it run overnight...

MovingPhotos 3D Screen Saver works great when in test mode but once activated/chosen it shows a black screen with drops ...not screen shot...I have adjusted the Dimming controls with no change....what gives. I want the screenshot to show water drops not a black screen.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.YiVKfKzWRG7A44uE
Yggdrassil
@Jack, I also used to be surprised by the black test screen, but then I figured out the problem. You probably have your computer set to lock from sleep or screensaver—that makes the screenshot for any screensaver black. I can't find any way around it so it's sort of a dilemma between an awesome screen saver and security.
