I realize 64-bit is merely a buzzword at this point, but it seems strange to me that the ScreenSaver framework is 32-bit only. I kind of guessed that if Apple was releasing Cocoa with 64-bit binaries, it would only make sense that -all- Cocoa frameworks (other than any deprecated ones) would be ported.

When you write a screen saver, you are writing a plugin for the screen saver engine.


Plug-ins have to be the same architecture as their host application. Since both System Preferences and ScreenSaverEngine are 32 bit today, your screen saver must be 32 bit.
