Shareware Screen Saver Brings 3D To Your Idle Mac

Purple Shark Software has released a new screen saver called Setting Sun. According to Purple Shark Software: Setting Sun is a modern application based screen saver, which uses plug-ins to draw interesting images when your computer is idle. Setting Sun includes a wide range of high-end 3D plug-ins, ideal for showing off an iMac or Blue & White G3. It includes, for the first time on the Mac, the popular "Pipes" screen saver from Windows. It requires a PowerPC based Mac, QuickTime, System 7.5 or later, and both QuickDraw 3D and OpenGL for running 3D faders. Setting Sun is priced at US$20. More information and a demo can be downloaded from the company's web site. Purple Shark Software
