Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensavers are both available for download on homestarrunner.com via a Secret Page. These screensavers can also be obtained by downloading the themes.
For reasons unknown, the Windows version will often ask for user authentication before downloading.
The Homestar Runner screen saver runs on Mac OS, you cannot run it on an Intel Mac. However, SheepShaver can emulate Mac OS versions up to version 9.0.4, though it is complicated to program, and you must have a Mac OS System Folder. If you were to use it on a PowerPC Mac, you would have to keep Classic enviornment running.
Fun Facts
- If you download either screensaver and set it as your preferred one, then try to change the settings, a pop-up will appear that contains a picture of a dog and the caption "Bitbull". Bitbull is a program used to create screensavers from Flash movies, and is likely the program that was used to create these screensavers. The picture of the dog is the logo for this program.
