In the app you can adjust the colours, stripes and shift, keep one variation or get a new one every time, and choose how often it fades to the next. Nothing moves in between, so it uses almost no energy – one still image, drawn natively on your Mac at full resolution.

Ombré Stripes FAQ
How do I set Ombré Stripes as my screensaver on a Mac?
