Product Description:
Strikesoft DeskSaver is an application for Mac OS X that allows you to run a screen saver as your desktop picture. Any OS X screen saver will work, all you have to do is set it as your normal screen saver in the 'Desktop & Screen Saver' preferences pane and run the Desksaver application. Desksaver is a compact application, with less bulk than many other desktop screensaver applications. Also unlike other similar applications, it does not conflict with the password protected screen saver features of OS X.
What's new in this version:
This version is a complete rewrite of DeskSaver, it is now much easier to use and the interface is much cleaner. It also comes with a few extra utilities to maximize the benefits of the Desksaver software on your computer.
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.3
- Mac OS X 10.2
Additional Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.2 or higher
Running this application on a G3 processor may be extremely slow. This is only recommended for simple screen savers, such as slide shows or solid color shifts.

Simple, Works Great - Version: 2.0, 11/15/2004 09:18AM PST

I use the old version of this for awhile and it was great, but this version is even better. I don't really use expose so i haven't noticed an error- i'll check for that later. I especially like the DeskSaverBG extra which allows me to use it as a startup item. Great, simple, app.
Killed Expose... - Version: 2.0, 11/15/2004 08:52AM PST

And I don't know what else. I had to put the computer to sleep and wake it before Expose started working again.
I personally like to use a low consumption screen saver as my background, via BackLight, and then have a variety of screen savers when not using the mac, via RandomExtra. Thus only using the system preferences is not satisfactory to me

Otherwise, fine. Not too useful, but does what it says; 3 out of 4 because of the Expose bug.
Can't Recommend this until the bugs are fixed!
