Does /usr/ports/x11/xscreensaver.app do this? It almost certainly requires the GNUStep framework as a dependency, but you may find a number of old "friends" (applications you liked) are available for that framework, in varying states of faithfulness to what you remember. If you like the old interface as a whole, you might try using WindowMaker with the GNUStep framework. I actually used WindowMaker/GNUStep for a while, and liked it, but eventually decided I liked Sawfish slightly more, then that I liked AHWM a *lot* more. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Alan Kay: "I invented the term 'Object-Oriented', and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind." --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkpeVo4ACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKVcRACgr+Ao4tYJZohpzq87UkES4WZH D1QAn3wJ5ItJNCW4j1p3ahPXGHuz4lbi =XN0I -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1--
