Mac 101: get a floating clock on your screen saver

heres a cool little customization fact i stumbled across:

you can have the clock on the screensaver display seconds, with or without am/pm, etc.

if you go into the International preference pane, and under Formats, and customize the time format - the "short" display - this will display different elements you want on the screensaver.

its pretty cool to have my RSS feed screensaver and floating clock with seconds. remember, International -> Formats -> Customize Time -> "Short"

btw, does anyone know how to adjust how many news articles the RSS feed screensaver displays? its only 4 by default, and id like to have it display more, like 10.

im running leopard, 10.5.2

It's also a very ugly clock

Hey! You can also have clock on your desktop showing precise time while you work. There is a free Mac software and bunch of designs at

Fliqlo is where it's at if you want a clock screensaver. Since finding it a few years ago I haven't used any other screensaver.

Screw the clock, how about getting growl messages when the screensaver is running?

See, now what would be cool is if someone created a digital clock screen saver that had the same effects as arabesque, now that would be something to comment about

Thanks!!!

I'm running Leopard and I don't seem to have the "main screen only option"

I may well be wrong, but wasn't this in Tiger too?
