I remember really enjoying this screen saver when I ran it before.
Unfortunately, this screensaver no longer seems to work on post-PM
Haiku, it can't find it's resources. Is the source code still
available? My guess as to why this screensaver won't load is that it
is looking for its resources in /boot/home/config/add-ons/Screen
Savers/FullLeaves but because of the way PM has changed things that no
longer works, a few other screen savers such as DuckSaver and
SheepSaver (both by Werner Freytag) also fall victim to the same bug.
This is how I fixed the problem in DuckSaver:
https://github.com/jscipione/DuckSaver/commit/a28c1329185e2655e4f8350616ae6edc0f8d8cc0
The magic line there is SetToImage() which allows you to load the
resources without specifying the path. This method has the added
benefit that it work even if your screen saver is installed in
/boot/system/add-ons/Screen Savers/ (or on Dan0 or Zeta in the case of
DuckSaver)
