One of the people I play SR with just asked me if there is a Shadowrun
screensaver (for Windows 95/98, I guess) but as I've never heard of one,
I'm now wondering if anyone else does...

I use the green digital S from the t-shirt design last year as
wellpaper, but never have seen a screensaver with a SR theme to
it. Also have a pointer icon that I picked up somewhere, but my
computer did'nt like the taste of it much as it was animated...

I'd love to see a screen saver with the green S that uses an effect similar
to the screens on Matrix (the falling green characters that represent the
matrix). The Shadowrun S shape with falling 0s and 1s. I don't know if we
have any programers on the list who could do it, but I'd certainly pay a
dollar or two for a freeware copy of it.

You'd pay a dollar or two for a freeware copy? Interesting... ;)

Frankly, I'd pay nothing for freeware...

Shareware, maybe :-)

I was thinking of those freeware programs which are free, but the creator
has a little message to the effect of, "If you want to send money to the
programmer, send a dollar to <address>."

If someone went to the trouble of making such a Shadowrun screen saver, I'd
send a few dollars for their time and effort, even if it was freeware :)

TMK, no, there is not. However, there is "the Matrix" screen saver which was
adapted from the movie of that name.

There's a screensaver for X that does this, although it's setup like the
Matrix one. I assume the source is available somewhere, and could be
modified to turn it into a SR screensaver. However, I have no clue what it
would take to turn a X based screensaver to a windows one..

I use that Matrix screensaver as well, would be cool to see it
converted over to the falling SR "S".

For those who with graphics design expertise, check out

I'm trying to get the hang of it and it looks rather spiffy. One of the
options is to save the 3D world you create as a screensaver.
