I got tired of looking at the matrix screensaver, it’s always green. I felt like changing the color, but there is no option provided to change the color in the preferences. I downloaded the code and made a simple one character change to make the screensaver blue.
The following is what I did
cd ~/projects mkdir xscreensaver cd xscreensaver sudo apt-get source xscreensaver sudo apt-get build-dep xscreensaver cd xscreensaver-5.08/ sudo vim xscreensaver-5.08/hacks/glx/glmatrix.c
I changed g = 0xFF on line 785 to b = 0xFF
save and exit (:wq)
sudo ./configure sudo make sudo cp hacks/glx/glmatrix /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix
Now preview your screensaver to see the results!
