Nightcap lets you run old Windows screensavers under XScreenSaver, using wine.
That’s it. That’s the Github description.

Ha, I wonder if it brings .scr viruses to xscreensaver as well!
Yes I wonder… I had a co worker that used to make non propagating practical joke screen savers. that were just a bit of code away from being viruses. I’m guessing/hoping there would be some kind of protection against those, and or the code bits would have rotted away.
To be honest, there aren’t many .scr files that hold my interest today. I’d be more interested if they’d implemented a host for After Dark screensaver modules.

Nightcap running AfterDark SCR host running AfterDark modules. Pretty simple, lol.
I’m pretty sure I could already run a standalone After Dark host in Wine without using XScreenSaver. I was more thinking about the level of polish that could be achieved with a dedicated Linux-native host.
