Command + t = activate/deactivate visualizer


Press / (?) while visualizer is running for a full list of things you can do in it.


On the help screen, you'll see that you can press M to change modes, P to change palettes, N to toggle nebula mode on and off, and much more.


+ and -: Increase or decrease the intensity (brightness) of the particles; multiple presses further increase or decrease the intensity.


A and S: Add or Subtract particles to the visualizer. You can make the visualizer as complex (or sparse) as you wish.


R: Reset the intensity and particle count to their default values.


E: When in nebula mode (press N), this greatly accentuates the nebula clouds, making them very easy to see. (If you've used the M key to change modes, you may find that the nebula clouds aren't visible; it seems they're only used in certain modes.)

I have a very cool suggestion for you:



1: Download the free SoundStream screeensaver and install it, set it as your screensaver.


http://pcheese.net/software/soundstream/



2: Next open AppleScript Editor and paste this script in:


tell application "System Events"

if process "ScreenSaverEngine" exists then

tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit

else

do shell script "System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSav erEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background > /dev/null 2>&1 &"

end if

end tell


4: Now Save the script "DeskScreen" as a Application to your Utilities Folder and drag a alias to the Dock.


5: Hide the Dock (optional)


6; Play iTunes and enable the "DeskScreen" and enjoy, uses your microphone and the sound to create effects.


7: To stop the effect, just click the "DeskScreen" icon in the Dock again and it turns off. You have full use of the computer too.


8: Works with most screensavers. Eats CPU/GPU, so you might want to cut it off when your using the machine for heavy duty programs.


Enjoy 🙂


and a bonus....free 3D game...
