Yes! Yes! 千 times yes! Also, I have a little experience with creating screen savers using Cocoa, so if you need help, let’s team up!
skahen05, you are not supposed to get a black screen, even if you are level 1. Could you give me your OSX version number? It’s something like 10.x.x.
I will try to compile the screensaver with slightly different options, we shall see.
Teaming up sounds like a good idea waldrumpus, but first I gotto clean the code a bit and add comments. Is it possible to link XCode to github or something?
Also black screen. Macbook pro OSX 10.8.2
MangoTree, its 10.8.2.
Cheers for your help,
Shahen
Hi MangoTree,
Downloaded and also get a black screen, and also 10.8.2
Many thanks for all your work!
Chris
P.S. Don’t know if you’ve done any testing with dual monitors, but I can let you know how that goes too
Looks like the OSX version doesn’t matter. I was able to reproduce the bug somewhat (got a black screen, but the kanji displayed fine) and now there’s a fix for it. I hope this works for everyone.
Dual monitors are something I will consider implementing in the future Chris, but it’s good to know there are people who can test that.

Just install like the first time, but now you’ll have to select “replace” in the System Preferences window. Quite a simple process, but watch out:
* Close the System Preferences (right click -> stop) before installing/upgrading the screensaver. It’s a strange OSX glitch/bug where the screensaver doesn’t update if you don’t close the System preferences.
It’s great to see the positive reactions! I’ll make sure to get this working
Still no luck here, using the new saver file…
This is quite frustrating. I do have to mention that the preview window sometimes doesn’t update correctly, so you’ll have to click on the preview window to see the fullscreen preview (this one does update).
Try that, if it still doesn’t work, please send me some screenshot of the preview window. The last option I see is to hardcode the API and PPI into the source and see if that works. I’ll need someone’s API key for that though and I dunno how private those are supposed to be.
There is no love for Lion users?
I’m figuring out the compatibility as I go, if I set the build target to 10.6 it won’t run on anything except 10.6 (instead of 10.6+). I’ve never deployed a mac app/screensaver before -.-
All those things might take a while to fix I’m afraid.
がんばって下さい。
Yeah, I’m using 10.8.2 as well (I know, late, but. XD). The new one doesn’t work for me either =( No rush, though!

MangoTree… the preview screen is… black!
Works great MangoTree! Running on MBP Retina OSX 10.8.2
Also for those with higher resolutions, you can dial down the PPI to increase the font size to your preference. :) 110>220 IMO.
Still getting a black screen, I'm afraid
Getting the following in the Console log:
05/03/2013 22:00:11.333 System Preferences[1482]: -[NSNull objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fff7d6e6310
Getting the following in the Console log:
05/03/2013 22:00:11.333 System Preferences[1482]: -[NSNull objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fff7d6e6310
Plus there's a stack trace too - but its quite long, so I'll only post if it you think its useful

I know enough now shahen xD If it’s black continuously, even if you click on preview, then it’s a NULL object being called upon. ericthecat’s Console log confirms that. I think I have enough info now to figure it out.
- Edit: And I think I found the problem, it’s connected to the “userlevel” which I can’t seem to load correctly.
I have compiled a special version to confirm the bug. I’d be glad if someone could test it. If it works, level 1 users will only get a background without any kanji. I changed the lowest OSX version, hopefully Lion users won’t get the black screen with the floating white text anymore. If you do get some floating exception, and you’re OSX 10.6+, then do say so.

Finger’s crossed
I’d test, but I’m only level 1 
sigh long way to go 
It works! お疲れ様〜
Thank you!
