Doesn't work - need to update screensaver

System preferences told me that I need to ask the vendor to deliver an updated version of the screensaver because it doesn't work on Monterey v12.5, so here I am. It doesn't work.

For those who want to use this screensaver on Windows

I just found these two repositories:

• https://github.com/sinky/html5-screensaver-node-webkit
• https://github.com/sinky/runscreensaver

Follow the instructions of these two repositories first. Then simply replace the HTML, JavaScript, CSS files in screen.nw folder with those in webview folder.

For your convenience, I've packed up all the files needed into an archive which can be downloaded here. Extract this archive and put those files into screen.nw folder. Then rename the HTML you want to use to index.html.

Font defaults to wrong font

Hey,

It seems te current version of MacOS does not containt the font used for the numbers. Instead of the digital numbers I get roman style Sans number.

Can't found in screen saver menu

Hi,

I installed the newest one, the one with a patch for #4 .

But I can't find it anywhere.

Please advise.

can't use the screensaver, I think it has to do with macOS latest update :/

Color changing

Not really an issue, but more of a suggestion:

Is it possible to change the color scheme? I like the red background, but think it would look great in other colors too (i.e. blue or black and gray). I'm not really sure how to customize the colors, myself, and I'm not sure whether Objective-C was used to configure the colors.

.saver

Sorry, may I know why can't find file with the extension .saver?

Screensaver is cropped.

Style does not affect it, but the saver is cut off at the bottom of the screen, I don't know if this is because of my macbook pro's weird screen size, but it's a minor annoyance.
Screen size: 13.3IN (1280 x 800)

Windows

I'm just wondering if you'll ever make it comer to PC?

Thanks!

Screensaver is/still cropped :/

Firstly: I'm entirely new to programming of any kind, but a good portion of why I was looking into it again was to try and build this exact clock (specifically TODAY, and then I found yours!) which - as you know - has not existed for a mac in some time (even that one from 2008 won't work on my current os :/) so thank you SO much :)

Having said that: I'm having the same issue as @soarn (though cropped differently); I use a second monitor (see first photo below) with my Macbook Pro (13 inch/mid 2014, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3), and even when I disconnect it, the screensaver is still cropped the same way on my Macbook screen as when it's connected to the larger Dell monitor (see second below photo).

Also, the only way I'm getting ANYthing on either screen is when the screen saver options are set to "Show on: All Displays" (working for both "Normal" and "Red", though from what I can see of the image it doesn't change when I switch from the standard to 3D effect, either); both screens are completely blank/black when "Primary Display" or "Last Focused Display" are chosen :⁠/

Thanks again for your work & time, regardless,

HELP.

Cannot change the style of the saver

Shows up as red in the preview, but only displays Normal (3D). How do I fix this?
