screensaver in system 7

Ian
I am not aware of an inbuilt (in the System/OS) screensaver program for any version of the OS before X. If, however, you mean a third-party screensaver, in the event that it has variable settings it should be provided with a control panel in Apple::Control Panels.

Ian,

Like Dennis said, there was no built-in screen saver in System 7.

But it did have a horde of shareware and commercial screensavers available for it.

The most simply was called "Fade To Black", "Pyro!" was an interesting one, and of course, After Dark was the most famous of all. I'm sure the basic After Dark v4.03 package became available as a free download. There were hundreds, if not thousands of shareware and freeware modules written for it. I liked "AD Clouds" the best, but there were also many commercial expansion packs available.

I'm not sure how you're going to run it on your iMac G4.

So fire up google and start searching for these. There were others, but the names escape me just now. Then look for "macintosh garden" in google and see what's available for download.

After Dark never worked well with OS 8. I had the newest version 4.0.3, and it just would not function properly. It was fun while I was using OS 7, though. If you are using the iMac G4, don't expect it to work, but I have found that some applications that would not work with OS 8.6 would work with the Classic mode of OS X.

I have Pyro! to and it is cool I was able to get it in os9. I believe it works in
os6 to os9 and is supported in os6 and os7.
