I searched for "xscreensaver ugly" and found this thread. It's a bit frightening to see that after two years of talk, there doesn't seem to be a satisfying answer to this question.Might there be any news on replacements for xscreensaver?
Is there anything at all that can be done to modify Xscreensaver's login prompt? It's so incredibly ugly, but I have found no way at all to tweak it or replace the theme of it somehow. System-wide theme settings don't seem to affect it either.
Hi everyone. First post on the forums and I like the design. I'm a fan of PunBB.

Hi!
I am using 12.04
A few days ago I installed xscreensaver but after I removed it.
Now it still works, after ten minutes my screen become black (it's very annoying at watching movies)
What I've done:sudo apt-get remove xscreensaver
I removed everything from startup applications
Deleted ~/.xscreensaver
After those, it still works.
Could anyone help?
I disabled gnome screensaver and installed xscreensaver as below:
sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data-extra
Then I launched the xscreensaver-demo by typing "screensaver" in the dash.
Flyingwindows is intended for xscreensaver but it wouldn't compile. Before getting into that, on my Ubuntu 12.04, every existing xscreensaver file seems to have a binary in /usr/lib/xscreensaver and an xml file in /usr/share/screensaver/config. There's no xml file to be seen after untarring.
Here's what I did:
Copied the flyingwindows-0.2 folder into the /usr/share/xscreensaver directory.
I just discovered that xscreensaver is not functional with the lockscreen button in F17/GNOME 3.4.1. I wanted to make sure of this so I re-installed gnome-screensaver. The lockscreen button did operate correctly then. But since I want to use xscreensaver the question arises. Can the lockscreen button on the panel be made to operate when xscreensaver is installed?
Hi.
I recently installed Mandriva Spring 2010, and I've encountered a problem while setting up the xscreensaver. I (think I) turned off the kscreensaver in favor of xscreensaver.
