Mr. Sparkle Screen Saver ReviewGreat, Simple, What could be better? - Version: 1.5, 9/12/2005 10:24PM PST

This great little screen saver really shows off the power of Apples Quartz Composer. The high quality of the graphics and the sprite action shows that with a few good graphics and a little trial and error in Quartz Composer can produce a visually stunning screensaver the looks much, much better than even the best, commercial Windows screensavers.

Those of you wishing for new features can add then yourself via Quartz Composer. You can even have Homer react to input from your Macs mic, graphics tablet or midi keyboard.

I have made a few screensavers myself and I think when people take the time to install the developer tools and play with Quartz Composer we are going to see large numbers of killer screensavers.

I love the new preferences. Might I suggest adding a "restore defaults" option? Once the text is overwritten there's no way I'll be able to restore it to its original luster.

OverLike I like it, but Old Fishbulb really flies around frantically on my dual G5. Be nice if there were some control over how fast, how much spin, etc. Something to consider if there's another version. But thank you!
