Firstly, you need to know that all screen savers are in fact simple files. These files all with the suffix ". Saver.

These files can be in two different places in your OS X system:

• Either in the Screen Savers located in OS X / Users / Maisonette / Library: In this case only the intended user has access to these screen savers.
• Either in the Screen Savers located in OS X / Library: In this case, all users have access to these screen savers.

In short when you download a new screensaver, simply place the file. Saver in one or other of these file screen Savers, and then reopen the module screensaver to select your new screen saver in the list, which must of course appear.
