How to set up own screensaver

ragnar86 · 03-25-2005, 08:56 AM

Hi there,

ok i managed to get my favourite screen saver for Windows working using wine and the /s command.
Now i want to know: What do i have to do so that this screensaver starts after 10minutes when nothing is done at the computer?
I think i have to edit the .xscreensaver file in my home folder but what do i have to edit?
I use Mandrake 10 and Gnome.
The command i use to start the screensaver manually is "wine /home/timo/bahn/bahn2002.scr /s"

Thanks for your help!

you just need to add a new screensaver definition, pretty simple.

Code:

programs:                                                                     \
-                "Qix (solid)"  qix -root -solid -delay 0 -segments 100     \n\
-          "Daves own screensaver!!!!!!"  wine blah.something etcetera      \n\
-               "Qix (linear)"  qix -root -count 5 -solid -transparent        \
                                  -linear -segments 250 -size 100           \n\
-         "Attraction (balls)"  attraction -root -mode balls -points 3        \

etc....
