More Mac Halloween Goodies

by , 4:40 PM EST, October 30th, 2006

Need some more ideas to Halloween-ify your Mac? Check these out:

Jack-O-Lantern Screen Saver v1.2 The Jack-O-Lantern Screen Saver from Killer Robots displays a realistic looking carved pumpkin whenever your screen saver kicks in. It rotates, and includes a flickering candle inside to properly illuminate your Jack-O-Lantern. It also comes with a template so you can design your own pumpkin carving.


The Jack-O-Lantern Screen Saver.

Jack-O-Lantern Screen Saver is donationware, and requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 or newer and an OpenGL-compatible video card.

Mac-O-Lantern 1.3.1 Waiting for your screen saver to activate just so you can see a glowing Jack-O-Lantern may not be an option if you actually have work to do. Thanks to the free Mac-O-Lantern, formerly known as Jack-O-Mac, you can enjoy the flickering glow of a carved pumpkin right on your Desktop.

You can install alternate face carvings, and even make your own. The Halloween countdown built in to Mac-O-Lantern's Dock icon is a nice touch, too.

Thanks to TMO reader Andrew McIntosh for pointing out the Jack-O-Lantern Screen Saver.
