Searching for SCREENER screen saver (XFCE?)

JASlinux · 02-20-2021, 08:02 PM

I use a Linux version with three different screen savers I can see.

The one I prefer is called "screener", but I can't find info on it (thumbnail).

compatible desktop environments?
64bit version?
available in archives/repositories?

Thanks

Does it run under xscreensaver? What does it do? Maybe there's a similar screensaver out there with a different name.

I'm not sure what that means.

All features are in the graphic.

That would be nice. It seems strange to look for a replacement for something you can't find. I'm using a customized distro, but I'd bet my sandles no one wrote a screen saver just for it.

Xfce 4.12

Which features do you require in a sceen saver?

xscreensaver is the standard screen saver package. It should be available even for your distro. It is also very highly customizable. Even though it is older than the others, it was designed correctly, unlike most of the others

If you're using XFCE then chances are xfce4-screensaver-preferences is already installed on your system.

And which “Linux version” (distribution and version of that distribution) would that be?

I want to minutia activation control (1 minute increments at least), and a choice of more than a blank screen, but overall it's not about features but finding this installed screensaver I know nothing about, i.e., having something on your system that doesn't have a source and doesn't seem to exist elsewhere.

I was in the Trusty Tahr version of XFCE Puppy Linux, a customization.

Every version of Puppy I use has both SSC and PupX, and this one adds Screener, all screen savers (PupX adds mouse and keyboard control).

Screener works best and I'd use it in everything if it were available.

That is possible with every GNU/Linux screensaver or power management software out there, even the one built into the Xorg server. And precision is 1s afaik, not 1m.

Apart from that, I'm very sorry but I have difficulty grasping your meaning. No offense.

There's plenty of screensaver software for any operating system, with "more than a blank screen". What exact feature do you require?

The image in post #1 shows only such features that are readily available for every power manager or screensaver out there.

No offense taken, but not every. I'm writing about three and they don't share features.

PupX uses second increments.
SSC allows only 5 minutes increments.
Screener has 1 minute increments and alternate backdrops (not just a blank screen).

The way they work together is confusing -- not obvious.

I want to simplify with one screensaver, and Screener is the best, but I can't find it anywhere.

I want to find this exact screensaver, not replace it.
