KDE Display Setup: Screen Saver
The Screen Saver setup dialog is comprised of three sections:
- 1. The screen saver Preview Monitor.
- 2. The global screen saver Settings.
- 3. The Screen Saver to display.
Preview Monitor
This is a minature representation of your screen saver, using the
current settings. To apply these settings to your display, press the
Apply button to continue using the KDE display setup
utility or Ok button to apply your changes and quit.
In the corners of this monitor are four grey boxes. These boxes indicate
what action to take if the cursor is left in one of the corners for more
than 5 seconds. The options are:
- Ignore - take no action
- Save - invoke the screen saver
- Lock - lock the screen
Note: Pressing Ok or Apply applies changes made in
all of the display setup modules.
Settings
Enter the time (in minutes) without activity to wait before the screen saver
is invoked.
Checking Requires Password will make the screen saver prompt you for
a password before restoring the screen.
Priority sets the "nice" value of the screen saver.
Screen Saver
To change your screen saver, select one from the list. The screen saver will
be shown in minature in the preview monitor.
Most screen savers have settings which can be changed by clicking the
Setup... button. This will display a dialog specific to the
currently selected screen saver.
The Test button runs the screen saver immediately, full screen.
