For the record, due to Apple's inability to support 3rd party screen saver seriously, the custom icons for 3rd party screen savers are displayed incorrectly and differently depending on the OS versions.
So don't spend too much time on getting your screen saver icon to be pixel perfect. The Desktop and Screen Saver pref pane will always do its best to ruin it.
