The story behind Bubbles X

I love macs… I always have. Thus, it was an object of consternation when my lovely wife fell for Windows Vista upon seeing their bubbles screensaver. Naturally, I wanted to keep the Mac at home. As you may have noticed from this site, I’ve been developing little things for the Mac OS and other platforms for many years, so the thought crossed my mind now and then to write a port of Bubbles for Mac OS X. I first started seriously considering the undertaking when reading an interview with the writer of the Vista Bubbles screensaver explaining how and why he made it.

5 Weeks later, Bubbles X came into being … the Mac stayed, and now I have trouble getting to use it myself.

And with that, I present the Mac OS X port of the Bubbles screensaver. Give it a try and download it today… it is, after all, free to try!

  • Using a solid color for the background (instead of a screenshot)
  • Several ways of placing a personal photo in center of the bubbles
  • Slightly improved graphics performance in some cases

    This is very slick… I think I like your version better than the Vista version.

    Also, I love the website’s “header” graphics. Nice work! :-)

    Recently switched over to Mac. I missed having it on my new computer and was grateful I could get it back on my new system. Thanks!

    I love this screensaver. It’s relaxing and fun. So, for $2.50, it’s worth it.

    I love this but I do have one question. Why the the background black? I thought we could see everything on the desk top when the bubble screensaver started.

  14. Mathew Eis, on March 16th, 2009 at 9:54 pm Said:

    It’s a security “feature” in OS X that doesn’t allow the screen saver to capture the screen directly if you have password protection on the screen saver. The next version of Bubbles X will allow you to use a custom picture or color instead of the black, if you want to use password protection.

    I love the bubbles and I put my one grandson in the bubbles but I would like to put all 5 grandkids in different bubbles, is that possible? Keep up the good work.

    I paid…how do I get the code without the unregistered sign in the bubbles?
