Solid color screen savers in monterey? Why not?!

This is crazy. I've been working on this for three days.

I want an all-black screen saver. Is this too much to ask?

Searching the 'Net has been much help, either.

There is no "all-black" screen saver. If that's what you want, mark "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping…" in System Preferences > Energy Saver and disable the screen savers.

Alternatively, you could create an all black wallpaper, save it in a folder, then choose it as the Source: using the Classic screen saver.

My "screen saver" is all black. I just turned off Screen Saver and back is the result, i.e. nothing is displayed. I guess set to "Never" is technically what I did.
