    List your favorite screensavers!

    Right now I'm using: UselessCreations 3D Aquarium (fills your screen up with water gradually, fishies swim around, not much in the way of an aquarium background, but it looks pretty neat, and it tilts based on your MBP's motion sensor).

    Anyone else have any really good ones they recommend? If there are better aquarium screensavers out there too, I'm interested :D

    I'm so boring, I'm using the default OS X ones :p.

    I'll give a look at your current screensaver. Sounds fun ;).

    Apparently all the aquarium screensavers i've found are shareware and cost $10-$20...and I don't feel right paying for a screensaver (considering the whole point is I won't be in front of the computer to see it....)...

    Even the one I'm using now is on a 14-day trial...

    My screens go to sleep before the screensaver comes on. LOL! I think I have the album art one turned on though. I have always really liked the aquarium ones too, but I can't see paying for a screensaver.

    Yea, those fish look so tempting though!...

    I'd be content with Fenetres Volantes, but apparently its a limitation of Quartz that they can't add AA to it - so looks like it's not going to be fixed anytime soon...and I can't bear to watch the ugly jagged lines...
