Getting Rid of the Others...
Authored by: bobketcham on Sep 19, '02 12:49:39AM

OK, I get it and it is quite useful. I've made a .slideSaver for each of the sets of pictures I want to be able select in the Screen Effects pref panel...

Now, I want to use the Random module to give me a different set of my pictures each time the screen saver is activated. That is, I don't want the Apple screen savers - especially the .Mac one. Any ideas?

I logged in as root and removed all the standard .slideSaver sets from /System/Library/Screen Savers. That still leaves me with the Computer Name, .Mac and Pictures Folder options. Random will still include these in its selections.

Any intrepid Unix explorers got an idea of how to remove the three remaining Apple standard screen savers?

Well I use a little freeware program called "Diablotin"
It's a Preference Panel, that allows one to edit all sorts of system stuff.
check with Mac Update or Version Tracker.
