Product Description:

Hydromancy is an OpenGL screensaver for OS X. One of my favorite books when I was younger was about a panda bear who had a box of paints and started mixing up the different colors. This screensaver is exactly like that book, except now the panda bear is an amorphous blob and instead of mixing paint, he's just sort of oozing around the screen.

Options are included to control the number of liquid blobs moving on screen as well as the variety of blob colors.

What's new in this version:

New Colors tab in Configure panel enables you to exert more control over the colors of the blobs.
New advanced option lets you turn on an experimental 3D rendering mode. (This doesn't look so great at the moment.)
Fixed a rendering bug that caused the blob edges to occasionally flicker.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2
Mac OS X 10.1

Additional Requirements:

Quite Nice - Version: 1.3, 12/21/2006 03:09PM PST

Not sure why everyone seems to be having a problem with this screensaver. It works quite nicely on my IntelMac Dual Core Mini. No crashes and it's a rather nice addition to my screensaver arsenal.

I'm trying to figure out what's happening with the intel-based macs.
Strangely, I've had one report of it working fine on a MacBook and, as
far as I know, there isn't any processor-dependent code in there.

If anyone wants to send me crash logs or other info, I'd definitely
appreciate it.

Crashes Systen Prefs on MBP 10.4.8. What a pity, the description sounded quite nice.
