Doesn't work if you're using Camouflage. If the icons are hidden by Camouflage, the chosen screensaver will not display.
Odd: While trying out Wallsaver (with Camouflage running), and finding it didn't work, I Zapped the app and all associated files. Then I noticed my screensaver flashed, and on a hunch, I told Camouflage to Show Icons. Bingo, the program was running. I guess the script had run it course, and deleting the program had no effect (until I reboot, I assume). Odd.
But since I really enjoy Camouflage, I'll not be re-downloading Wallsaver.
Otherwise, good program - just makes you kinda seasick when your desktop is moving around.

Works just fine on my MacBook Pro Intel core 2 duo w/10.5.8. Wallsaver's U.I. isn't as polished/slick as xBack's (been using xBack for several years...it's $10), however, Wallsaver runs my all time favorite screensaver, "Electric Sheep" smoothly and without issue while xBack crashes every time when trying to run it.
It would be nice if Wallsaver had a setting to utilize screensaver options just as xBack does, though.
A menu bar icon to invoke Wallsaver's features would be sweet....xBack has one.
With the above mentioned additions, I'd be willing to pay a few drachmas for Wallsaver.

Both MacUpdate and the developers website claim this version should run on 10.4. I don't know about that, but I can tell you that it will not launch on 10.5.8. It unexpectedly quits every time.

Awesome! Snow Leopard compatibility! Now works great. After installing SL, I missed using Wallsaver - thanks so much to the developer for this great *free* app!
