Electric Sheep 2.7b19c

by Doug McLean

Scott Draves has released the latest official version of the dazzling community-based screensaver Electric Sheep [1]. The update adds two distinct modes for the program's multiple display support, the capability to switch VBL synchronization on or off, more precise information in the download status display, and a more-dynamic remaining-time display. Also, the next sheep to play is now calculated in the background, down-voted sheep are now properly deleted, partially downloaded sheep that were being considered complete are now recognized properly, and the shortcuts for Function keys have been reorganized. To learn more about Electric Sheep, see "Top 10 Screensavers for the 21st Century," 23 February 2009. A full list of changes [2] is available on the Electric Sheep Web site. (Free, 16.5 MB)
