With free Mac OS X screensaver Fenêtres Volantes (Flying windows) your windows take off flying and fluttering in the void. On a mouse move, the windows immediately come back and stuck to their original position.
Fenêtres Volantes allows users to set the speed, the number of windows to take in account, as well as multiscreen behavior.
System requirements:
MacOS X 10.4.6 Tiger or above
G4, G5, Intel – 1GHz or above
More info and download link for the free beta of Fenêtres Volantes here.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “The Other Steve” who found the link via Digg for the heads up.]
I think it’s the other Windows that’s fluttering in the void.
I’m waiting for the chairs flying from the hands of MonkeyBoy screensaver…
Doesn’t work for me, the screen goes white… that’s it.
This appears to be beta software, so beware. I tried it and it doesn’t work, and it messed up Exposé.
Sweeeeeeeet “white screen” screen saver.
Works great with a single monitor set up, plugged into another monitor for dual screen – all goes to hell.
Great beta – hopefully will get dual screen issues worked out.
It works for me… and it looks awsome. check out the digg comment thread on this, most people are super impressed. it is beta but…. sorry you can’t get it to work.
Thanks for the heads up, I almost downloaded it. Will try later once they resolve the dual monitor issue.
heard about it last night on digg and installed it —- very, very cool. It was buggy on my dual displays at first too but it looks awesome just on my powerbook display.
It works (albeit slowly) on my iBook G3 700mHz, the cutoff point isn’t G4.
Anyway, I believe it sets Exposé’s F9/All Windows to Shift F9, temporarily. Maybe that’s why the above poster said it broke it.
I’m imagining someone browsing porn, who quickly pops another application on top of the naughty pictures when his wife walks in the room to argue with him about something. I hope he doesn’t forget to tap the keyboard occassionally!
Holy crap! Something useful out of France?!
I have a 23″ and a 20″ hooked up….works well
It works lovely on my dual 2ghz G5………I like the way the image of the window….. is reversed when it turns around!………reminds me of a vista demo I saw recently……..
internal
What the practicality of this 3D effect is I don’t know…….. no wonder Vista is gonna need so much f@cking memory!!!!
Phill Ryu put out a nice Blog that listed his top ten screen savers with explanations & screen clips and links that listed this screen saver as #1.
He list some very cool screen savers I haven’t seen before. He also list some runners up.

The only one I disagree with is #9. I don’t care if it looks like Homer, it was boring.
For those of you who have it working, what is your setup? Intel, PPC, OS?
For me it wouldn’t run on my 2 GHZ MacBook 10.4.7.
PowerBook G4 1.25 GHz FW800 15 inch 1 gig ram
OS X 10.4.7
anyone with an intel mac have it working?
Phill Ryu’s blog (see my link above) says it works with intel chips.
It doesn’t seem to work with no windows open on your desktop or if there is only 1. I did try changing the options parameters, too.
Cool. It works fine for me. It’s another one of those novelty items that can be used to show off my Mac.
