Hey, this works really well! Thanks for making it.

I run into one issue: the screensaver only populates the screen with toast and toasters one time; once it has done so, it doesn't spawn any further ones. This means that after a minute of the screensaver being on, it's just a black screen. Windows 11.

Any chance of an update?

Hmmmm. What's your desktop resolution? The trick is that this screensaver tracks when objects leave the left and bottom of the screen and then puts them just off screen at the top and right. It's weird if they just scroll off and never come back.

1920x1080 would be the resolution.
I agree, super weird in general.

I figured out a work around for the bug on win11 at least, go to the settings for the screensaver then enable classic toasters, then run it, now they will re-spawn as they should, you can even go back to the newer toasters if you want. The same with the slider for the number of toasters, it won't work the first time but the second time you open it you can adjust it. I've tested this on 1080 as well as a Samsung curve monitor with the resolution set to max and it works, I've tested it on 2 different pcs. Hope this helps.

Flying out of the sun
The smell of toast is in the air
When there's a job to be done
The Flying Toasters will be there
And it's flap! flap! flap!
Now help is on its way
This vict'ry song we sing
Flying out of the sun
On Flying Toaster wings!


...I can't believe I still remember that. I miss the sound effects, song and other miscellaneous happenings from the original. Like the toaster conga, with a blender.

As a child this was my first PC game. Even if it wasn't a PC game.

Will it fly in 4K After Dark?

Only one way to find out. I don't have a 4K display, though.
