For those brave souls willing to beta test our Nekoware collection, a new top level application is availible, Xscreensaver 4.16. This version has been compiled with the GTK+ 2.4 front-end (/usr/nekoware/bin/xscreensaver-demo) and offers a few nice features over version 4.01 (which is available on the SGI freeware site), including the abilities to edit of the individual hack's settings via the GUI.
New screensaver hacks include:
| anemone | antinspect | antspotlight |
| apple2 | atunnels | blinkbox |
| bouncingcow | cloudlife | cubestorm |
| endgame | eruption | flipflop |
| flurry | flyingtoasters | fontglide |
| fuzzyflakes | glblur | gleidescope |
| glknots | glslideshow | halftone |
| hypertorus | jigglypuff | klein |
| lavalite | metaballs | mirrorblob |
| mismunch | noof | pacman |
| piecewise | polyhedra | polytopes |
| pong | providence | queens |
| spheremonics | wormhole | xanalogtv |
I also rebuilt Really Slick Screen Savers 0.76 and Fireflies 2.06 to be compatible with the nekoware distribution. In order to access these hacks add the following to your ~/.xscreensaver file:
GL: biof -r \n\
GL: busyspheres -r \n\
GL: colorfire -r \n\
GL: cyclone -r \n\
GL: euphoria -r \n\
GL: fieldlines -r \n\
GL: fireflies -root \n\
GL: flocks -r \n\
GL: flux -r \n\
GL: helios -r \n\
GL: hufo_smoke -r \n\
