The stars are customisable through a `config.json` file, which allows users to set font styles, animation speeds, and more.\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"docs/screenshot.png\"\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\n\n## Features\n\n- **Animated Stars**: The stars *\"die\"* (with a chance to go *\"Nova\"*), and new ones are *\"born\"* around the screen.\n\nThis screen saver was designed to be as unintuitive as possible.  \"Animation\" is slow and steady, specifically designed not not be a source of attention, yet subtle enough to indicate that the Mac is alive.\n\n\n## Configuration\n\nConfiguration is done via the System Preferences \u003e Desktop \u0026 Screen Saver \u003e Screen Saver pane.\n\nDefault settings are calculated at 1% [of screen resolution] stars, and timing so that each star lives for approximately 1 minute.  Probability of \"Nova\" is 1 in 25.\n\n\n## Installing\n\nThe package is not signed - so if you want it you will need to compile it from source using Xcode.\n\nOnce you've compiled it - copy the `StarSaver.saver` file to the `~/Library/Screen\\ Savers/` folder.  It should then appear in the System Preferences.\n\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License. See the [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md) file for details.\n\n\n## Change Log\n\nThis project maintains a change log.  See the [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) file for a history of milestone changes.\n\n\n## Acknowledgment\n\nThe `v0.1` code was entirely written by ChatGPT, an AI developed by OpenAI, with guidance and project input from me. *(On a 2013 **iMac**, running **MacOS Catalina** 10.15.7 and **Xcode** 12.4.)*\n\nIt had been a learning experience and a joy to create!\n\nThe `v0.2` code was rewritten, by hand.  The Chatpardy code logic just didn't seem efficient to my way of logic.  It works, so does mine - there is no \"winner\", just different.\n\nAnd from there we refine ... see the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md).\n\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e\u0026nbsp;\n\n---\n\nMade with :heart: by **Silvino Rodrigues**\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsilvinor%2FStarSaver","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsilvinor%2FStarSaver","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsilvinor%2FStarSaver/lists"}
