Same problem here - Version: 1.1b2, 12/20/2006 06:51AM PST

Doesn't support multiple monitors... my 2nd monitor shows the cool flakes, but my main monitor shows unrendered squares like the previous reviewer mentioned. If this was fixed, I'd be using this right now. On the plus side, I like how you can change background colors, fog, etc. but... until the multipile monitor issue is taken care of, this unfortunately goes in the trash...

If you use multiple monitors, it looks like ass on the secondary display. It looks like white boxes falling from the sky. Argh. I wish people programmed screen savers for multiple displays more often.

The downside is it dumps extraneous nonsense into Console like this:

Minus a star for that..
Otherwise, it's a fine screen saver.. I wish too it had the abiility to choose a picture backdrop.. I would put a snowy scene behind it to complete the effect!

Works great on my G5! I really wish it had the ability to use a picture for the background rather than just a flat color, though...
Great Screensaver - Version: 1.1b2, 9/9/2003 10:33AM PST

This is a really cool screensaver. With the coming winter it will be a great mirror for the outside effects. Thanks so much for such great software. The software I make will always be free....but its never as good as this! :-)
Neat! Love this… - Version: 1.1b2, 1/10/2003 11:53PM PST

screensaver. I have it running as a Desktop Effect in my background. Just finished playing a full screen game (Airburst) and it had the interesting effect of replacing all of the snowflake textures with squares. So I've now got some nifty white confetti falling in my background. :D

is beta, so it got a higher score than if this was a finished product due to the fact that I know thay will fix it to work on mulitple monitors. 2 Of my three screens show "falling peices of paper". However, this screen saver could be fixed two ways. Make the snowflakes appear on allthree, good to go. Make the squares fall on all three and call it "Paper Chase" :)

doing this - it's a really pretty screen saver. I'd like to see an added "random" option for the snow flake size though.

mentioned the lack of a speed control. I just went to slow it down and noticed that feature was missing.
