I was wondering if there's any sort of package or something I could install in Ubuntu 13.10 to allow a graphical screensaver. I really do not like the blank black screen when the display turns off. I prefer abstract/colorful/exciting things over complete blackness. It reminds me of night which I think is bleak and boring. So any advice would be nice. Thanks

Xscreensaver

XScreenSaver is the standard screen saver collection shipped on most Linux and Unix systems

Installation:

$ sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

For extra screensaver:

$ sudo apt-get install xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-gl-extra

You also need to replace genome-screensaver with xscreensaver. Here is the article on how to replace it.
