I have always wanted to make a screensaver for os x that replicated the After Dark screensaver module that allowed you to put up your own quotes. I have been learning some objective-c and cocoa with the help of some books (Programming in Objective-c and Cocoa programming for Mac OS X), but I can't seem to find much at all on screensavers. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I would just like to get something on the screen even if it was one line. From their I am sure I could add the others, even if I had to hard code the quotes at first and make them editable from a menu later.

There is an Xcode project template that probably provide almost all you need to get you started in the way you described. The only other sample code I could find from Apple is this:


<http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/OpenGL_Screensaver/ OpenGL_Screensaver.html>

There is also some docs:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Reference/ ScreenSaver/ObjC_classic/index.html>

And a third party tutorial:

You might find more on Google, or in the list archives.

Good luck!
