This may be useful if you prefer to use the third-party screen saver but are finding its settings not working properly. You can then consider reinstalling the screen saver to see if a fresh installation will have it configured properly. Following this, you can check with the developer for updates for the screen saver, especially if you are experiencing a problem after having upgraded your Mac. If you have installed third-party screen savers, then remove them from your Mac per the developer’s instructions. This command differs from the first in that it will remove all screensaver-oriented settings from your Mac, including specific details like what photo album is used by any of the picture-based screen savers, and any custom text used in the Message screen saver, etc. While clearing the screensaver domain is a preferred approach, by running the following two commands (note the second one here differs by containing capital letters), you will clear all screensaver-related settings: rm ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.* Running the following command in the Terminal will do this for the domain for the current system: defaults -currentHost delete Ģ. The defaults in OS X are the preferences for a given application, specified by its domain.
On the next screen, click on the Battery tab and then uncheck the option for Slightly dim the display while on battery power (See image below) Now whenever your Mac is running on battery power, the display brightness will stay exactly the same as it was when it was connected to power supply. If this happens to you, there are several things you can try: On the System Preferences screen, click on Energy Saver option.
While you can choose your desired screen saver and apply some customizations to its settings in your Mac’s Desktop & Screen Saver system preferences, sometimes you might find (especially after upgrading your OS) that the screen saver’s settings, or the selected screen saver itself, will revert from any changes you have made. The screensaver in OS X is a convenient tool to have enabled, even if its conventional use to prevent phosphor burn-in on CRT monitors is a somewhat moot point in this age of flat-screen displays.
