Okay, I downloaded it from home. It must have been a firewall at work or something.

But it is a totally different screen saver!

The one to download it a static image like the "Art Appreciation" picture of the SKY on the page. It has some decent animation of rays of sunlight coming through the window, but it is a static image.

The one that I will e-mail is a CGI model of the SKY that rotates every minute or so through a 360-degree view. You get to see the SKY from the front, side, back and all angles in-between. Photos of the configuration window is shown below...

So it looks like if you want the rotating 360 degree screen saver you're still gonna have to PM me with your e-mail address...

It's still available on-line in the old Saturn "Future Vehicles" section - so go get it before they pull it down and it's gone forever...

Enjoy the intro of the "pre-production model" and then click on the DOWNLOADS link that will appear on the top of the page.

Thanks for the screen saver! It is awesome...now I don't want to work...just look at my car. It is the same color combo that I ordered. I did notice one thing though. The date and time bar doesn't move. Can this cause an image to burn into the screen? My screen actually goes to sleep after about 10 minutes, so don't think it could hurt. Just wondering. Now I have a Sky wallpaper and screen saver. How cool is that? Now I just need the REAL thing!

You are correct; the image will burn into a monitor if you run it for years and years. It's a good idea to use the power save features of Windows to turn off the monitor after an hour or so. That's what I do; the screen saver kicks in after 15 minutes, and after an hour the monitor goes dark. That gives me a peek at the car if I leave my desk, but doesn't burn it in overnight or when I am away for an extended period of time.

Thank you jdigiant for the rotating SKY screen saver. I really appreciate your help . It worked great and I love watching it since I don't see many SKY's these days since its almost winter. Thanks again. Waiting for my SKY.

P.S. would you have the SKY View too? If you do, that would be great.

I noticed on the new screensaver at one point it says "Downloading new content" but since I have it blocked in my firewall nothing new comes down. What other pictures come down in the newer screensaver?

360 screen saver worked great for me, however firewall had a hay day with it since it tries to go out and grab news feeds to incorporate into the saver. Just my 2 cents. ( I didn't read other posts in thread, this may be redundant ). Gotta say, I do dig it.

Thanks for the screensaver John. It works great

I love the screen saver. Thanks so much! Now, if I could just figure out how to get rotating Sky wallpaper

[londoner]

Thanks for the screensaver John. It works OK although it would have been perfect if you could click and drag the image to turn it (360) like the original internet site.

Thanks again.

I guess they forgot to take one of them away. It turns out that the 1024x768 "Sky Clock" screensaver for Mac is still a valid link. All the rest are gone.

Anyone with a Mac that wants it is in luck.

Thank you for the screensaver John. Works great and is great to look at. The only problem with it is that it makes me want my car even more now. :LOL:

oh no.....it's gone. Anywhere else I can get it???

[MileHiSky]

And in Silver Graphite please....

[2sky4]

John, could you please e-mail me a copy of the sky clip? Thanks

[JohnD]

PM Sent; it is a 4MB file that is too big to post, so I send it out via e-mail. Anybody that wants it, just send your e-mail address to me and I will pass it along.

Thanks. Works great.

Thanks John! It works perfectly and was super easy to install. Now when I'm stuck inside I can at least look at my beautiful toy.

[JFig]

Thanks for the screensaver John. It works just fine.
I wonder why Saturn took the download link off the web site?

Thanks so much! It downloaded perfectly-even for a computer illiterate like myself.

Tonight's the big night, too bad it's already started snowing.

Thanks John! Works great.
