I don't have the MacForums Screensaver- is its background red by default, or did you change it. If you changed it, how did you do so?

I am lazy, so ejecting something a diskmount is a HUGE burden. jk
Update (without the stupid diskmount):

Have you ever tried going to a clear dock? That would look pretty good with the Quartz...

A few days ago I was telling a friend about my journey to an Apple Store and that I had just upgraded to Tiger. She immediately said "hey, I just drew a Tiger!" so I took a look at her picture, decided I really liked it, scanned it in, edited the brightness/contrast a little to make it work well for a desktop, and well... here it is! In celebration of my upgrade to Tiger!

Thanks for pointing out Quartz Desktop Sarahsboy! I just played through a few of the screensavers I've made recently, and it is pretty awesome. Glad you liked the clear dock with it too, I've been on a clear dock for about a month now....

Here is where I got the screensaver I was using... tp://kinks.ultralab.et/qc/ (outdated link removed)

I haven't really been able to find anything else too interesting... But honestly I haven't really looked.

And yes... I believe Quartz Desktop requires Tiger.

Hey mraya, what is that black Unreal Tournament icon in your dock?

Its just a script. I could probably delete it, I think I've used it twice. The icon I have I just wiped up in about 30 secs. I could care less about my icons, lol.
