[comp.sys.mac.apps] Real Screen Saver Request

In about 6 hours, I have been flooded with responses to my "completely dark"
screen saver request.  The results I've hard are:

	- darkness (shareware appl)
	- dimmer (shareware appl)	[note: couldn't locate either]
	- write my own
	- moire, with color set to 0 (black)
	- an after dark module with fade to black

	And the winner for most obvious answer which makes so much sense, you
	wonder why you asked in the first place? is (its a tie!):

	- Set restless picture to move a black box
	- Set marquee to scroll no text

	I simply made a copy of restless picture, renamed it darkness, threw
	the black rectangle in and voila!  I have complete darkness!

I thought I'd post my findings in case others were looking for a dark solution
(which was so easy to do, it sickens me!)

Thanks to all who helped.
