IDEA: countdown screensaver manager

[openbsd6]

there're a lot of 'countdown\ screensavers out there..but i had this idea, all those countdown screensavers run against a black(or colour-configurable) background..quite boring..how about a screensaver that launches other savers whilst displaying the countdown on top ofn that screensaver..it could be an images slideshow or video or anything screensaver, the countdown screensaver will simply run it and display the countdown ontop of it in a configurable corner of the screen..much better than a blank background..

Here's CountdownSaver to get you started!

Displays a countdown on top of the active screensaver.
