Also noticed that the cd command should read:

cd /System/Library/Screen\ Savers/ (or cd /System/Library/"Screen Savers"/)

you'll get a "Too many arguments" error without either the backslash or the quotes.

In short, the instructions should read:

cd System/Library/Screen\ Savers/
sudo mv .Mac.slideSaver .Mac.go_away

Sorry.

Apparently this board software does away with the backslash for some reason.

Kinda makes me look like a idiot, huh?

Here's a challenge…

Where're the resources for the "computer name" screen saver? I ask since it appears to have Apple's new signature font, Myriad (right?) embedded in it--you can type in most any host name and get to see it in all its Myriad beauty, right? Once upon a time you could extract Espy Sans from Apple Guide and eWorld, so I'm wondering if there's a 21rst century equivalent!

Thanks, and happy hunting!

The Computer Name saver is located at:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Computer\ Name.saver

The Pictures Folder.saver is located there as well.

Ack!

I renamed those, loaded the Screen Saver pref pane and got a popup saying "Can't load screen saver: Screen saver Computer Name did not load properly. Please select another screen saver. Error: Can't load bundle". It ate the "Choose folder" option that you use to specify folders of pictures to show, and it ate the folders I had chosen.

I closed and reopened the pref pane, and it crashed.

I returned the Computer Name and Pictures Folder to their original names, and now the pref pane is stable, but the "Choose folder" option is gone. *sigh*
