Screen-Saver Update for MacOS 10.6 available



A NoLimits Screen-Saver update is available for MacOS X. It fixes a compatibility problem with 10.6 (Snow Leopard). For older MacOS X versions such as Leopard, Tiger or Panther, this update is not required and I do not recommend that you install it unless you are using Snow Leopard. You can download the update at nolimitcoaster.com. The installer will copy a newer version of the screen-saver launcher into the NoLimits installation folder. It will then try to open it which will install it into the system.



Warning: Developer's frustration following...

The OS X screen-saver programming interface is designed badly by Apple. Under OS X, screen-savers are dynamic libraries instead of applications. This means that they are running inside another process started by the system such as the System Preferences app. This is just terrible, because the screen-saver must be machine and environment compatible with the process that loads it. The System Preferences turned into a 64bit application from Snow Leopard on and this broke all third party screensavers compiled as 32bit. They also turned on Objective-C garbage collection which took me almost a day to figure out, because of lack of any useful documentation. Apple, thanks for wasting my time and money.
