    66
    7  * A '''screensaver coordinator''' program that doesn't do graphics (except for preview mode, which will just display a logo). Instead, the coordinator will run separate programs (project-supplied graphics apps, and a default graphics app bundled with the installer).  The order and timing of these apps will be configurable.

    88 * A '''default graphics app''', which the coordinator runs if no project apps are available.
