Back in the day when computers relied on CRT monitors, having a static image displayed for too long actually resulted in the image being burned into the screen. For this reason, screensavers were developed, which display animated images in constant motion to prevent burning in when you stepped away from your computer.
Advancements in technology, like LCD displays, have eliminated the need for screensavers in the traditional sense. The main reason we use them now is either entertainment or security, though many of us don't use them at all anymore. But you should, because they can do way more than just that.
On your Mac, download the RSS Visualizer.zip, courtesy of BillyBobBongo (via Cult of Mac). After downloading, locate the file (it should be in the Downloads folder), right-click on it, and copy it.
It's amazing how much Apple have missed off the MacBook Pro since I bought the first one in 2006: no audio in!!! no number lock, no Kensington security slot!! , no DVD(/Blu-ray ha, ha) drive, no battery indicator lights, no widgets button, and NO RSS feeds as screensavers!
I followed the instructions to the letter, and I cannot even see the RSS Visualizer in the list of screensavers in the system pref. I'm not going to rule out that I'm doing something wrong, but I've tried 3 times...each time checking to be sure that the file was in the appropriate folder. I even restarted my Mac each time. Running Yosemite 10.10.2 on a MacBook Pro 17 inch (early 2011).
Get the Electric Sheep Screen Saver for desktop and laptop computers. Recommended only if you have a high-bandwidth, always-on connection to the internet such as DSL or cable modem. It should download and display within a minute, but due to server load it may take a long time, please be patient, and press F2 to monitor its progress. When it's running, press F1 for help.
Can display the file name, full path, some of the embedded "EXIF" tags, and geo location, all of this as kind of caption with the image.
Keeps a persistent database of all the images found in the specified folder. This has the following benefits: handles huge image databases better than Apple's built-in screensavers,
startup is faster, and,
does not "exercise" the disk so much every time it gets invoked.
I have tested my screensaver with directory trees containing about 150,000 images (scattered amongst about 300,000 other files). Handles huge images, like 100+ MB per image on disk
Keyboard controls at runtime (ArtSaverApp only): go back to previously shown images (to re-visit), pause the slide show, reveal the current image in Finder, and more. For more information, see the Manual in the Options pane, or press H during the slide show.
Configuration options include: Duration how long an image is displayed
Visual effects: Ken Burns, zooming in & out, or still image
Which information to display at the bottom(file name, path, file extension, GPS location info,EXIF description and keywords, date; see the manual to learn exactly which EXIF tags ArtSaver observes)
How to search for images: Spotlight (much faster)or recursive directory search (can follow aliases and symbolic links)
Minimum file size and/or image size (e.g., in order to exclude thumbnails)
Many more ... (see screenshot on the right)
Programmers might appreciate the possibility to exclude images bya list of regular expressions (kind of file patterns);if the path of an image matches one of these reg-exp's, it is excluded
You can review the file names that ArtSaver has displayed afterwards(see the Manual in the Options/Preferences pane, section Difference Between "Use Spotlight" and "Follow aliases").
Observes the EXIF orientation tag
Can follow aliases (and symbolic links), so you can build complexfolder structures of images ArtSaver is to display(see the Manual in the Options/Preferences pane).
You can fix the zoom direction (in or out) per image, if you want. For details, see the Manual, Section Fixing the Zoom In/Out Direction.
You can have ArtSaver display images in random order, or sorted by file name, or sorted by the EXIF tag DateTimeDigitized (displayed as "Create Date" in exiftool). For details, see the manual, section The Order in Which ArtSaverApp Shows Images.
