Amnesty Screen Saver 1.0 runs Dashboard widgets

Mesa Dynamics today released Amnesty Screen Saver 1.0, a free screen saver module for OS X. Amnesty Screen Saver is a screen saver module that allows Dashboard widgets to animate around the screen while remaining functional and active, such as getting information from the web or checking the status of the computer's various settings. "Although the screen saver design prevents direct interaction with widgets, the high polish of the typical Dashboard widget user interface is a natural fit for an animated environment." Amnesty Screen Saver is built upon the same technology used in Amnesty Widget Browser, the company's utility to allow widgets to run outside of the Dashboard environment (as well as under Panther) with extended features. Amnesty Screen Saver 1.0 is available free of charge and runs on both Mac OS X 10.3.9 Panther and Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
