Take a Snap of Screen Saver
Anytime you are trying to capture a screensaver, you will fail miserably as the screen saver will automatically go off when you try to press any key.
But, there is an easy way to take a snap of screen saver.
Take a Snap
- Open Apple - System Preferences…
- Go inside Desktop & Screen Saver
- Choose your screen saver
- Hold down Command-Shift and press Test button
- Hit 3 to snap the screen saver
- You can do it many times, before you decide to exit by releasing either Command or Shift key
Sticky Keys
If I were you, I wouldn't tire down two of my fingers to keep holding Command-Shift all the time during capturing snaps of my screen saver. I will use Sticky Keys instead.
Using Sticky Keys, you only need to press a modifier key two times and that particular key will stay pressed until you press the key again for the third time.
To activate Sticky Keys:
- Open Apple - System Preferences…
- Go inside Universal Access
- Choose Keyboard section
- Turn on Sticky Keys (you can also press Shift-Shift-Shift-Shift-Shift to Sticky Keys)
Now, I hope you can have nice snapshots of your screen saver.

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.5d2bmW0yYohzIZcw
