Hi everyone
I'm new to this forum and new to Zorin OS 12.
So far I have been able to figure out how to do most things except for one thing and that is why I am here seeking help. I have my Zorin OS 12 set to after 5 minutes of inactivity to go to a black screen. And I also managed to be able to return from idle without having to enter my password by moving my mouse or pushing a key on the keyboard. What my problem is when it returns from an idle state I get this screen with the date and time on it that I have to flip up in order to resume my session. So my question is there anyway I can get rid of this flip up time screen and just move my mouse or push a key on my keyboard to return to my session from idle? If there is please tell me step by step or if I have to enter commands in a terminal to do this please tell me step by step the commands I need to enter. This is super annoying and the only thing I hate about this OS. So if you can help me get rid of this flip up clock I will be super grateful to you. Thank you in advance
@Awesome Machine noooo you misunderstood what I said. Instead of having an actual screensaver after 5 minutes of being idle I have my Zorin OS go to a black screen. So when I return from an idle state in order to wake up my session again in like a windows OS you either move your mouse or push any key in the keyboard and voila you're back in your session. Well right now when I want to wake up my Zorin OS from the black screen I still do that, but instead of re awakening my session this clock and date screen shows up. And I have to swipe this screen up in order to return to my idle session. And what I want to do is get rid of this swipe up date and clock screen so when I move my mouse to reawaken my session I go directly in to my session and not have this annoying swipe up date and clock screen. Does this make more sense?
@Ztcoracat In Zorin it's Gnome 3 and yes it was the only thing that annoyed me to know end on Zorin OS 12. And thankfully someone on another forum led me to this solution. Finally I can return from idle without the swipeup screen or having to put in my password. Now I just move my mouse or push a key on the keyboard and I'm back in again. What a relief

Good you're relieved:-
I know how annoying that was as I had it too.
Thanks again for posting the solution and letting us know Zorin comes with the Gnome 3 DE.
Have a good weekend and don't forget to mark your thread SOLVED.-
