  Screensaver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In some situations the images displayed on the screen constantly change, but in other cases some areas of the screen, or the screen as a whole, change very little (the taskbar in Microsoft Windows, for example).
When the same image is displayed on a CRT screen for long periods of time, the properties of the exposed areas of phosphor coating on the inside of the screen gradually and permanently change, eventually leading to a darkened shadow or "ghost" image on the screen.
LCD computer monitors, including the display panels used in laptop computers, are not susceptible to burn-in because the image is not directly produced by phosphors (although they can suffer from a less extreme and usually non-permanent form of image persistence).

 XScreenSaver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One reason for XScreenSaver's popularity is the ease of adding extra modules, known as "hacks", which are separate programs that draw on the screen when the screensaver is activated.
Some of the display hack modules in XScreensaver are very similar to demo effects created by the demoscene:
In order for hacks to draw in the preview window of recent versions of XScreenSaver, the identificator of the subwindow where to draw is passed to the hacks via the a command line option.

 call for hack- display housing replacement | Applefritter
I haven't seen the new new bright displays, but I'm skeptical that these would be bright enough to work outdoors in bright sun either.
First there is the outer casing of the LCD (note: not the housing, but another case that the LCD is in internally, which is metal), then there is a layer of white, non-translucent plastic after that, and then a few layers of special optical plastic that spread the light from the backlights evenly.
When I hold my display, as is, up to light with the backlight off, I can see light coming through the Apple logo on the housing...

 Munching Squares
Display hacks were short programs, often less than a dozen instructions, that repetitively calculated new x and y values, then invoked the "dpy" instruction which plotted a single point on the screen.
The PDP-1 display used a phosphor which was a mixture of a blue phosphor with a short-persistence bluish-white fluorescence and a long-persistence yellow phosphorescence.
Indeed, it seems to me in retrospect that some of these display hacks would now be described as "chaotic" (in the sense of chaos theory).

I also applied the Quartz Extreme hack (dropping 16MB VRAM minimum to 8MB, doing a 'sudo pico' in the Terminal), and it appears to be working fine as well.
To test the hack before committing it to flash, I suggest that the boot script be run--BUT NOT SAVED--using the commands "nvrun" and then "mac-boot" instead of "nv-store" and "setenv".
I tried both sleeping the machine and plugging in the VGA display, and also booting it with the adapter plugged in, and both times the Displays control panel did not recognise a second display, only providing the option to mirror...

 jargon, node: display hack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
display hack /n./ A program with the same approximate purpose as a kaleidoscope: to make pretty pictures.
Famous display hacks include munching squares, smoking clover, the BSD Unix `rain(6)' program, `worms(6)' on miscellaneous Unixes, and the X `kaleid(1)' program.
Display hacks can also be implemented without programming by creating text files containing numerous escape sequences for interpretation by a video terminal; one notable example displayed, on any VT100, a Christmas tree with twinkling lights and a toy train circling its base.

The recent comments hack can be configured to display up to 10 links to the most recent comments from all of the posts visible on the from page.
If you don't use this particular timestamp format the hack won't be able to compare the dates of the different comments to determine which was posted more recently.

The operation itself is almost identical to x2x, but most of the code was actually borrowed from the program vncviewer.

If you want to run x2vnc between two X displays, you need to install x11vnc on the slave machine, or use x2x instead.

To write Pilot Hack I needed to be able to handle various events like Graffiti handwriting events, button presses, etc. I added an event trace facility to Pilot Hack to view these events and their arguments.
