== Tips ==

 * The default screensaver for dapper should not use intensive 3D accelaration in order to fit computer with no hardware acceleration (e.g. nVidia with the nv driver).
 * The screensaver should use a lot of black in order to really save the screen. Something consistent with usplash theme might be a good idea.

== Propositions ==

 * We could use something like the GNOME Foot screensaver, but using the Ubuntu logo. '''Floating Ubuntu''' is a good name. To try it, do the same:
  * Download [[http://digilander.libero.it/elleuca/files/ubuntu-logo.svg|this SVG logo]] (it's the Ubuntu logo from Tangerine icon theme without shadow and scaled to 128x128 px)
  * Copy this file using:
  {{{
sudo cp ubuntu-logo.svg /usr/share/pixmaps}}}
  * Create a new `.desktop` file to create a new screensaver theme:
  {{{
gksudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes/ubuntu-floater.desktop}}}
  * Now fill the `.desktop` file using this contents:
  {{{
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Floating Ubuntu
Comment=Bubbles the Ubuntu logo around the screen
Exec=floaters /usr/share/pixmaps/ubuntu-logo.svg
TryExec=floaters
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Screensaver;
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-screensaver}}}
  * Save the `.desktop` file and open the '''Screensaver''' preferences tool.
  * To see all `floaters` engine options, run 
  {{{
/usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver/floaters --help}}}
