Homestar rubs his face on the screen

Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensavers are both available for download on homestarrunner.com via a Secret Page. These screensavers can also be obtained by downloading the themes.

For reasons unknown, the Windows version will often ask for user authentication before downloading. If you are on Vista, you must open the .exe file as an administrator, by right clicking on the file and selecting "Run As Administrator".

The Homestar Runner screen saver runs on Mac OS, you cannot run it on an Intel Mac. However, SheepShaver can emulate Mac OS versions up to version 9.0.4, though it is complicated to program, and you must have a Mac OS System Folder. If you were to use it on a PowerPC Mac (running System 10.4 or earlier), you would have to keep Classic environment running.
