My favourite is Matrix by Olivier Fabre. Sadly I can't use it because it requires Kickstart 3.1. Blitzblank isn't bad either.

I prefer to use simple graphics demos as screensavers rather than an automatic timed screensaver program taking up CPU and memory in the background. Try Klide, TrigNumy and Plasma. (all on Aminet)

I use the screensaver included with MultiCX. I used CGXBlanker before, it's good but needs a graphics card.

I used Boingball on my a1200, now I use Juggler on WinUAE

If I remember correctly, MaxonMagic had some screensavers, like flying toasters, colorcycling-animated fractals, dissolving screens, falling snow etc.
I used them with random props (every time a different screensaver).

On the PC, I use the boring but useful "turn the screen completely off, dude" power-saving feature instead of a screensaver.

Thanx for your ideas. I'll have a look on them.
I can remeber that years ago i had a shareware blanker that used the WB as background and filled it with different item, like falling snow which layed on the windows or walking lemmings and had customizable mod music. But no idea what its name was but it was really nice.

I use GLMatrix but you need a Warp3D compatible gfx card to use it...
