Description

XScreenSaver is a free and open source screen saver and locker for Unix-like operating systems. It provides a large collection of customizable display modes, including flying logos, fractals, and 3D animations. XScreenSaver is designed to protect your computer from screen burn-in and is compatible with the X Window System on Linux, BSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X. It can be used to lock your screen when you are away from your computer for a period of time and requires a password to be re-enabled. XScreenSaver also includes an optional password dialog box, which can be used to protect your computer from unauthorized access. Additionally, XScreenSaver is extensible, allowing users to write their own screensavers and configure the ones provided with the software.
