Introduction

Noted below are various notes on how to install the Idle Screen Project on supported operating systems.

Windows 2000/XP/Vista

Precompiled binaries are available for 32-bit versions of Windows. The most current version is idlescreen_0.3_Alpha_win32.exe, and is available on the Downloads page. You can also compile the IdleScreen screen savers from scratch. For more information, please see the page on compiling the project.

Linux/FreeBSD

Currently, there are not any precompiled binaries available for these systems. Please see the page on compiling the project for information on getting IdleScreen up and running. You will need to install X-Screensaver in order to use the IdleScreen screensavers.

Apple Mac

As of yet, no one has tried to compile/use the IdleScreen project on a Mac, but if it works on Linux/FreeBSD, it should work under MacOS X, since it is based on BSD. Please see the page on compiling the project for information on getting IdleScreen up and running. You will need to install X-Screensaver in order to use the IdleScreen screensavers.
