WebSaver: A WebKit-based Mac OS X screensaver

A Mac OS X screensaver which simply embeds WebKit to display a webpage or JavaScript application. Perfect for Canvas animations.

You can specify a web url as screen saver.

This version includes a simple Preferences sheet.

WebGL is supported (thanks to cggaurav).

Instructions

  1. Open WebSaver.xcodeproj in Xcode.

  2. Select Build in the Product menu. WebSaver.saver will be created at:

     /Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/WebSaver-.../Build/Products/Debug/WebSaver.saver
    
  3. Double-click WebSaver.saver to automatically install into System Preferences.

Occasionally, a screen saver won't work when installed automatically (this issue has existed in OS X for years).

To perform a manual installation, copy WebSaver.saver to:

/Users/.../Library/Screen Savers/

Notes

  • Change the "Product Name" in the "Web" target if you are distributing a screensaver to prevent conflicts with others.
