No, "screensaver hacks are bling only", a "screensaver" is a
software relic.

The key aspect is "when and why is there eye-candy".
You can still run all scsreensavers to look at them, they're just
ordinary single window applications.
You can even run them fullscreen. No problem.

BUT: running them automatically because you're away and the system is
idle is simply not a justifiable (anymore) and that was the concept of a
"screensaver" which was just 10 years ago, but is no way today - and on
battery driven systems actually must be tagged stupid, sorry.

Cheers,
