I'm curious to know why this has to be a screensaver - there must be a reason you can't just create a web page and set up the computer in full-screen/kiosk mode?
I can't even remember the last time I used a screensaver :)
- My thoughts exactly. I know it was 2006 the last time I set up a screen saver (and I didn't out put it myself back then.)Wolfboy
- From what I can gather (and I'm sending questions for exact usage back via the acc. exec.) they're doing the old school, everyone in the company...Wolfboy
- ...getting a new matching screensaver.Wolfboy
- Ahh, that makes sense.

ElectronJs is a framework for building cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. There is a demo screensaver app here for windows but you could potentially port to mac:

The reason screensavers are no more is because they are the perfect vehicle for malware so that may be another issue you want to flag to your client.

(I've Googled this already and seen one piece of software come up, but I was wondering if anyone had experience of using any particular software/plugin.)
