Background
On April 25, 2007, I read a post on Usenet from someone looking for a way to preview screen savers without actually having to install them first. SaverPreview was initially written while that post was still up on my screen, and then tweaked a bit the next morning. Instead of thumbnail previews of installed screen savers one-at-a-time, SaverPreview lets you see several savers running side-by-side in windows large enough to give you a real feel for how they're going to look.
You can launch the application by double-clicking the application itself or by dropping one or more screensaver bundles on the icon. Settings dialogs for any open screen saver are accessed through SaverPreview's Preferences command.
