I have the TurboGo screensaver installed but the graphics leave a lot to be desired – bitmaps. Is there anything out there similar to TurboGo's functionality but with the ability to configure better graphics? I've looked into the suggestions on Sensei's but nothing appealing other than TurboGo.

Have you looked into this?

http://sunxi.free.fr/projects/screensavers/go/index.htm

I tried it way back maybe 3 years ago. It was an awesome screensaver, but all the graphics caused my PC to burn nearly full power when it was active. I haven't played with it since, but I see the website is still there.

Thank you, GoCat. That's what I was looking for. You're right - my laptop is burning with all the CPU usage from this program. Wow! I could roast marshmallows with this thing. The graphics are awesome, however.

Thanks, POGO. I spent half the day trying to improve the bitmaps in photoshop but finally gave up, which probably says more about my photoshop skills than anything else.

Yep, sun.xi's seems to be the best around for a few years now. :)
