Settings

Customise a scene

Themes, speed, clock formats and other settings for every scene – plus frame rate and appearance.

Per-scene settings

Select a scene in the library to see its settings next to the live preview. What you can change depends on the scene, for example:

  • Clocks: 12- or 24-hour time, seconds on or off, size and colour themes.
  • Retro Classics and games: playback speed and scene-specific options.

Changes show up in the preview immediately and apply to the screensaver and the wallpaper.

App-wide settings

Open Settings (⌘,):

  • Frame rate: 30, 60 or 120 fps.
  • Multiple displays: Independent or Mirrored.
  • Appearance: follow the system, light or dark.
  • Start after: how long your Mac must be idle before the screensaver starts.
