Hyperon ReviewVery Cool! - Version: 1.2.1, 3/8/2007 06:15AM PST

Truth w Christ
I also have tried many other apps that claim to do a screen saver re[lacement with movies. HYPERON is the best. It works and does not interfere with other apps or data. I have one Feature Request and that is that is restart itself automatically after the Mac's regular Screen Saver has been engaged.

The developer has benn very responsive to feedback and usually has a fix/add in a day or two. This is a 5 Star. The app Time Splitter Video is also a 5 Starr by this developer.

I would love to have the time to learn to program and do all my own fancy apps, but I don’t, so I like to pay other people to do that for me. I have found that lots of "Freeware" has spyware and is not supported, so again I like to pay for things that I’m going to install on my rather expensive Mac which contains lots of invaluable data. So the apps that I purchase have to be good...I’ve tried the rest, got my fingers burnt and now I only get the best. Try Hyperon you won’t be disappointed. oh and you can play .MOV on your desk top...how cool is that!

Seems like if one person paid for it the developer would be over paid for putting a GUI on a one line script.


To run a screensaver module on the desktop, type this command into an active Terminal window (don't close the window if you want to terminate it easily):

"/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background &"

or freeware (any of these will do this for free)
Backlight (recommended)
Desktop Effects
Background Sceensaver
Screensaver as Desktop
Moving desktop
Screensaver Desktop
bgscreensaver
Strikesoft Desksaver



You are joking trying to charge $20 for an function that at least 8 freeware apps do and is easily executed on the command line right?
