Looking for a specific screensaver

I am looking for a specific form of screensaver. Specifically so that it is more or less a time screen saver. But one that doesn't scroll the desktop, and one that can be modified with font, color, etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Kscreensaver, and xscreensaver don't seem to really provide any decent options that I have found so far.

Maybe something like this: http://lifehacker.com/331640/aesthetically-pleasing-clock-screensaver-with-fliqlo

EDIT: Just noticed you wanted to edit it. That lifehacker link had some other links to pages where you could build your own, I think.

I am not really looking for a flip 3d clock or any of the new styles. Just a plain old digital clock, that can be configured.

There are few in this package, as anyone can modify gltext.desktop file to his needs.
There are several modification: simple clock, colored, with simple date, with full date, and wired.

Some more examples of it, http://gericom.wordpress.com/2010/10/07/digital-clock-screen-savers-for-xscreensaver-appeared/

You should be able to edit that one to look the same tongue.gif

You should have most of the font needed which you can change. Not sure if that screensaver is static or not, but if it is and you want it to stay still that should be easy to do.

Just takes a bit of imagination and some time and I'm sure you can get it to look the way you want thumb.gif
