WebSaver: A WebKit-based Mac OS X screensaver

A Mac OS X screensaver which simply embeds WebKit to display a webpage or JavaScript application. Perfect for Canvas animations.

You can specify a web url as screen saver.

This version includes a simple Preferences sheet.

Instructions

Install the pre-built version of WebSaver by double-clicking "WebSaver/build/Release/Web.saver".

Replace "Web.saver/Contents/Resources/index.html" with your own web page or application.

To build from source, do the following:

Open WebSaver.xcodeproj in Xcode.
Build.
Double-click the built Web.saver to install.

Notes

Change the "Product Name" in the "Web" target if you are distributing a screensaver to prevent conflicts with others.

websaver's Issues

Multiple screensavers

Hi,

I'm getting this to work with the index.html etc, but I'm hoping to have multiple screensavers and if I duplicate the web.saver file (each with their own individual index.html, and rename the .saver files) they still display the same file.

Does anyone know how much I need to change in the xcode project and where, in order for them to be "individual" projects?

Mountain Lion support

Could you add support for Mountain Lion? Get this error: "You cannot use the Web screen saver with this version of Mac OS X. Please contact the vendor to get a new version of the screen saver"

WebGL

Love this thanks for putting it together. OSX doesn't seem to like using WebGL through it though. Is there anyway to change the rendering engine to Safari?

GPS data?

I am building a clock app in HTML/JS that relies on the users GPS data to generate the correct conditions in the DOM. [ http://finetimeios.herokuapp.com/ ]

Are you aware of a method for allowing GPS access in a screensaver? As of right now the clock just hangs.

does not work with Mac OS X 10.6

Mac OS X instead displays a message stating something like "this screensaver does not work with this version of OS X, contact the vendor for an update".

[Feature request] Load page from local/remote server?

Is it possible to run a local server and load the page from localhost:8000 as a screensaver?

Dismiss with mouse move or key press

Currently using my content I can only dismiss the screensaver by pressing escape. Is there something I'm doing wrong or some change I need to make to my project so that key/mouse input doesn't get swallowed by the web content and instead kills the screensaver?

Can't find index.html

I'm trying to edit the URL to a page I want as my screensaver, but I can not find ' Web.saver/Contents/Resources/index.html ' in any of the files.

When I explored Web.saver's package contents I couldn't find a Resources dir / folder.

Doesn't seem to work anymore

Xcode: 9.4.1

WebSaverView.m:

- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame isPreview:(BOOL)isPreview
...
    [webView setFrameLoadDelegate:self];
    "Sending 'WebSaverView *' to parameter of incompatible type 'id<WebFrameLoadDelegate>'"

- (NSWindow *)configureSheet
...
    if (![NSBundle loadNibNamed:@"ConfigureSheet" owner:self])
    "'loadNibNamed:owner:' is deprecated: first deprecated in macOS 10.8"

As a result of these, the configuration dialog doesn't display so... it doesn't work.

Doesn't work in 10.10 / Yosemite

I can't get this project or any of its forks to run on 10.10 — I just get a blank screen. Any idea what's changed?
