SaverScreens has evolved from a pre-SaverBeans incarnation with the aim of providing a higher-level API for building screensavers in Java. Whilst SaverBeans provides a good foundation for frame-based rendering, there is no support (at this time!) for Layout- and Java3D-based screensavers. A SaverScreens screensaver should extend one of the following three abstract classes: `Screensaver2D` `Screensaver3D` `ScreensaverPanel`
