About the MBS Transparent Screensaver version 2.4

Deutsch English

Warning: This screensaver does not work on macOS 10.14 Mojave or newer. Currently it is not known whether tightened security prevents us from getting the picture of the desktop behind the screensaver window and we find a way to adapt.

This screensaver shows a dimmed image of your desktop. So you can password protect your Mac while still seeing what is running. You can control transparency and update frequency using the Options panel.

Transparent is localized for German and English.
