Just a thought, i think it would be neat if Seti made the old screen saver a graphical option and just implemented it into bionic, don't see the harm since i see people posting to see if the old version works, who would want the old looking screen saver for bionic as a option ? count me in, +1 ID: 739297 ·  |

at least its something decent to look at while your not personally using your CPU, so technically its not wasting if its still crunching #'s during the Screen Saver ID: 739386 · |

Technically the classic screensaver was not a screensaver because it had static items, the border being one of them, that could burn into the screen. Hence the present design where all parts move. And no I don't use them, no matter how interesting, funny etc. they all become boring in the end and use computer resources and if monitor is left on power. ID: 740767 · |

What's a screensaver? ;)  It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . .

Count me in. +1 I do not usually watch the graphics, but when I do, I like the clear and sharp appearance of the old 2D graphics. The texts in the 3D graphics are too soft/blurry...  Manned mission to Mars in 2019 Petition <-- Sign this, please. ID: 750413 · |
