There isn't one. The screensaver window has no controls.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

Sure, but not using XML.

The screensavers fall into 2 categories:

1. Those provided by the XBMC executable (slideshow, dim, black).
2. Those provided in the form of dlls.

What was it you had in mind exactly?

Cheers,
Jonathan

the way to handle that is to

1) clean up the current slideshow code
2) add more effects to the slideshow code
3) have it be part of the normal slideshow screensaver
