predator's Introduction

Predator

If you are a fan of the science-fiction film Predator, this screensaver is for you! It will transport you back to those nostalgicically memorable years and transform your Mac into a Predator clock. Don't worry, your Mac won't blow up 😄

It is completely open source, feel free to contribute!

Compatibility

Requires OS X El Capitan 10.12 or above

Installation

Download the latest release of Predator from the following link
Double-click the downloaded file, named Predator.saver
If you see the message "Predator.saver" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer, click OK
Open the Preferences app
Select the Security & Privacy option
In the General tab, you should see a message near the bottom of the window that says Predator.saver was blocked from opening because it is not from an identified developer. Click the Open Anyway button to allow the app to run.

If you see an error message saying "This app is damaged and can't be opened, you should move it to the trash", download the file with Safari, to prevent macOS Gatekeeper from throwing that error. Note that some outdated unzip software may cause that issue too.

Important: If you haven't quit System Preferences before installation and were upgrading from a previous version, I strongly recommend you quit the application after installation, then reopen it, as updated Swift screensavers aren't loaded correctly in an active System Preferences session.

Features

Customize the color of the clock to your preference
Select between 12-hour and 24-hour clock formats
Remove unnecessary lines to achieve the look of the clock in the movie
Additional features and customization options are also available 🙂

Predator’s clock rules

The rules are pretty simple, and you wouldn’t spend much time to learn them:

Uninstallation

Right-click on Predator in System Preferences and select Delete Predator, or
Delete PredatorClock.saver either in /Library/Screen Savers or /Users/USERNAME/Library/Screen Savers.

predator's Issues

"Cannot be opened, must be deleted" Error even in Safari

No matter what I do, I can't seem to download it, and it always throws that same error.

I'm on a 2019 "15 MacBook Pro, on 10.14.6 (Mojave)

Feature request

Thanks for making this, its super cool! I love the Predator clock Idea and how you implemented it, good work! I was wondering if it was possible to make a feature that would allow the user to be able to completely blackout the non filled shapes when displaying the time, or possibly the option to make the non filled shapes a different color than the filled shapes, which then I would be able to change the color to black myself?
