Do you want to try to work together, or perhaps just one of us finish it out? I am working on a general shell for a graphical screensaver, so that anybody can use my code and just write the core. If you'd like to wait for this to finish (probably another week or so, God and vendors willing), then it may make your work easier. On the other hand, if you're enjoying hacking the graphical screensaver code, and want to work it out, maybe we can coordinate our work.
