That would be 'screenie'.

The normal screen package is still normal.

I'm not down with screenie. I think a work associate had issues with it.
I recommended he uninstall screenie.

Then again (1) I use large-font terminal windows, and want my real
estate, (2) I don't use predefined profiles, nor do I see their value,
(3) I already customize my .screenrc.

I'm a big fan of:
## Auto-title my windows
# Used with a normal PS1 and PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033k\033\\"'
shelltitle "$ |bash"
## Screen-based blanker/screensaver
# requires 'bsdgames' to be installed
blankerprg rain -d 100
idle 300 blanker
