Existing users, 
Silly me! All this time I thought the purpose of a screen saver is to save the screen! Sorry, but this does not do the job. All the desktop stuff is carried over into the screen saver image and continues to burn into your screen. Serene screens turns off the desktop image and contines to change the image and therefore qualifies as a bone fide screen saver.
But as as a sample of what the Mac can do with graphics, it is very nice indeed.

Nice. But not a Screen Saver. - gslusher
If you have an LCD display, you don't need to worry about "burn in." That is a problem with CRT displays, even if you use a screensaver. My last CRT display had a faint burn-in of the menu bar, for example.Today, since most Mac displays are LCDs, the real purposes of a screensaver are entertainment and hiding your desktop from view if you step away from the computer.

I DID buy this screensaver . . . - mccoytest
I did buy this screensaver. Because it is so nice. Looking forward to the fewbug fixes and enhancements of v1.1 The guy who said SereneScreen qualifies
as a screensaver and 3D isn't is amiss. The SereneScreen rocks are constant
(though fish do move 'in front' of them) is subject to more screen burnin that
the fluidic, moving background of 3D. Good job!
