Screen Saver

**forza** · 2004-01-11 03:47

hi all,

i've just submitted a patch to sourceforge which gives an idle activity screen saver. pretty basic stuff to be honest, i just drop the gamma map down to 7% - when a button/trigger/etc. is pressed on the pad i restore the gamma map back to it's original state. end user can configure the timeout length (in seconds) in the xboxmediacentre.xml file. obviously leave things well alone when fullscreen video is playing or when the visualisation is active.

hope this is of interest, now i've got an idea on how it all hangs together i'll start looking into something a bit more complicated Smile

forza: maybe you wanna look into adding and advanced screensaver too. maybe the matrix screensaver from mxm? Big Grin

sure - i'll take a look. are they hosting their source anywhere in particular? 'usual places' seems a bit poorly at the moment so can't check there. Sad

seems you did it, but it's not full screen on pal. (matrix saver)
could you take a look at it?

thanx for the great work, looks awesome.

**forza** · 2004-01-28 17:55

is it full width, but not full height?

Hullebulle · 2004-01-28 19:41

yep the high is the problem. there is a 40pixel at the bottom in pal. if its hard to adjust it to resolutions maybe you can just make it uberbig. i think it wouldn't matter if the glyphs start and end offscreen.
