+--- Thread: Screensaver animation separate from dimming (/showthread.php?tid=10676)

i like the animated screensavers.
but i also like the dimming feature.
unfortunately both cannot run at the same time (i think).
is it possible to have a separate 'screensaver dim on/off' and a separate 'screensaver on/off' with 'screensaver of type x' feature.

are you implying that you want screensaver running while the screen is dimmed?

that like switching on your kitchen lights and cooking with your eyes closed :nuts:

okok...you made your point....but
perhaps it would depend on your dim% setting

why would you want that feature? the dimmer ave the burning of images the same as the animated screensavers?

you obviously have a valid reason but i find it quite unusual.

just struck me as odd to combine the two (dim and animation). yes i know, the point is to prevent burning in, but for the eye, those bright screensavers look as if they completely miss the screensaver point. i mean look at the blob thingy. i like it allot but.....its just way too bright. then it struck me that i cannot dim it in xbmc. and as it strikes me as a minor software detail to implement....(being a hardware dude....). it must be psychological.
well suppose i could always fiddle with the tv settings then he.
