_Note: AnimatedGif is **not working** with **Catalina(10.15**) and **Big Sur(11.0)** since screensavers are now sandboxed (this means no GIF files can be selected or read from local disk and also background mode is broken), see issue <a href="https://github.com/Waitsnake/AnimatedGif/issues/57">#57</a> and <a href="https://github.com/Waitsnake/AnimatedGif/issues/63">#63</a>._

Since release 1.5.0 AnimatedGif supports Metal(API) for rendering.
2325

2426
When started AnimatedGif tries to initialise Metal as first choice for rendering. Only if this initialisation fails (on MacOSX versions older than El Capitan (10.11) or not supported Macs(usually Macs older as Mid 2012; except Mac Pro models from Mid 2010 with supported graphics card)) it tries to initialise OpenGL for rendering(as it was default between release 1.0 till 1.4.0).

Unfortunately the screensaver clock is not working together with background mode and will be disabled if background mode is enabled. But the clock works fine in normal screensaver mode.

Because Big Sur(11.5.2) still sandboxes screensaver the background mode is still not working and so this button will be automaticly disabled since release 1.5.4 when Big Sur(and Catalina) is detected. But background mode is still available on Mojave or earlier versions of OSX.
