Hi,
I've noticed that there's a Slide Show.saver in the
ScreenSaver.framework resources, and that screensavers like Cosmos and
Forest have the extension slideSaver. I guess they must all use the
same ScreenSaver subclass. Does anyone know how I can make my own
slideSaver? I know I could just choose Slide Show in the Screen Saver
preferences and direct it to my own folder of images, but I would
prefer to make my own slideSaver so I can quickly switch between image
sets. Or is there a way to have two copies of the Slide Show one with
different preferences?
The solution:
1) Copy the Cosmos.slidesaver bundle in your Screen Savers folder or in
the /Library one.
2) Replace Cosmos by the name you want everywhere: File's name,
Info.plist, etc... Don't forget to change the CFBundleIdentifier key
3) Replace the files in the Resources folder with the ones you want. I
suspect NSEnumerator call in the code here.
That's all.
It would be easy to code a tool that would do this for you automatically.
This confirms that the persons who are in charge of the ScreenSaver
Framework are really bright.
