Product Description:

Wallsaver is a Cocoa application (written in AppleScript) that allows users to run their screen savers as their desktop wallpaper.
  1. Wallsaver doesn’t have to be running 24/7. You can launch Wallsaver, activate your screen saver, and then quit the program. Restoring your desktop is just as easy. Open up Wallsaver, click “Restore�, and you’re set.
  2. It’s simple. The original application was only 30 lines of code.
  3. It’s cool. Now you can show off the full potential of your Mac by letting it power through a task that would bring a PC to its knees.
  4. It’s Universal. Universal Binary, that is.

I only stopped by to add a comment. I sure as hell won't be trying it out. Screensavers have not been necessary for at least a decade and, in any event, they don't do any such thing.

The alleged purpose of a screensaver is to avoid "burning in" an image that remains on your screen for hours. (Actually, years used to be more like it!)

So what the hell can the benefit be of a combined screensaver and desktop picture? A desktop picture is one that stays on your screen for...um...how long?

A bit like the manufacturers who insult your intelligence by claiming that their product is both shampoo and conditioner is one. What a laugh.

A great app that works well on my Intel iMac under 10.5.2, with not much resource usage. Now I can have my aquarium running all the time.
