Use iTunes visuals as a screen saver
Authored by: Sesquipedalian on Apr 06, '09 08:30:55PM
An update for Mac OS X 10.5, iTunes 8.1, and ScriptSaver 2.10:

The original script will result in the normal screen saver specified in ScriptSaver's options running over top of the iTunes visualizer. To fix this, add an activate line to the script, like so:

tell application "System Events"
	if (get name of every process) contains "iTunes" then

		tell application "iTunes"
			activate
			if player state is playing then
				set full screen to true
				set visuals enabled to true
			end if
		end tell

	end if
end tell
Note that this also includes a check to see if iTunes is running before trying to do anything with it.

In ScriptSaver's options, put this script in the Activation Script setting, and then in the Screen Saver setting select the screen saver that you want to run when iTunes is not playing.
