  • If you have a Mac, and you're running OS X, you might be interested in this patriotic screen saver called Old Glory. It's an OpenGL 3D animation of an American flag waving in the breeze.

    Once you've put it in your ~/Library/ScreenSavers folder, you can control-click on it, and show the package contents. In the Resources folder, you'll find a file called OldGlory.tiff, which is the flag graphic you see waving in the breeze. You can replace this file with any graphic image you prefer, as long as you rename it 'OldGlory.tiff.' I suggest this image, which may need a little cropping in order to appear perfect.
