10.4: Show MacOSXHints on RSS screen saver
"this hint would let someone create a unique RSS screensaver that an end user cant mess with. unless they hack it with this hint, that is. "
Actually, that's not true. The options button will still let you modify the preferred RSS feed after you have manipulated the .plist as described in this hint. Why? Because this hint is merely modifying the preferred RSS feed by typing it in the long way directly in the .plist file instead of choosing it from the option button. And to be clear, this has nothing to do with creativity, just simplicity. Had the hint actually been about using Quartz Composer to create a new RSS feed screen saver that is site-specific or is unique in some other way (like making the feed all lower case) that would be creative. This hint did not discuss anything to do with Quartz Composer. This hint discussed taking the long road and manually changing the .plist file instead of simply doing it via the preference pane. That being said, I applaud the hint poster for taking the initiative and figuring out how it all works. |
