Fabric on Water FAQ
How do I set Fabric on Water as my screensaver on a Mac?
Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Fabric on Water in the library and click Set as Screensaver. macOS starts it whenever your Mac is idle, exactly like a built-in screensaver.
Can I use Fabric on Water as a live wallpaper?
Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Fabric on Water plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.
Is Fabric on Water free?
Fabric on Water is included in SCRNSVRS Unlimited. It's free for your first 7 days; after that Unlimited is $1.99/month or $9.99/year (€1.99/month or €9.99/year) for every screensaver, including new ones. It can also come up in Free this month, when 25 premium screensavers are free for everyone.
Is Fabric on Water a video loop?
No. Fabric on Water is rendered live on your Mac with Metal, so it never repeats and stays sharp on any display size. The clip on this page is a screen recording of the real thing.
Will Fabric on Water slow down my Mac or drain the battery?
No. SCRNSVRS drops to 30 fps on battery and stops rendering when the wallpaper is covered by a full-screen app, so Fabric on Water costs next to nothing in everyday use.
Which Macs does Fabric on Water run on?
Fabric on Water needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
