About

This is a Node.JS/Electron based implementation of Mac Aerial Screen Saver for Windows. I was using cDima's Aerial for Windows on my computer but wished it had more of the features found in the MacOS version, as well as being less buggy and having better 4K support. Not knowing much about C# and with the project seemingly dead I researched Windows screensavers and found I could make a screen saver with Node.JS and Electron – both of which I am very familiar with. Hopefully I’ll be able build on this implementation and it get it to near where the MacOS version is.
