Title: simple-screensaver.tcz Description: minimalistic screensaver shell script Version: 5.5 Author: Bruno "GNUser" Dantas Original-site: https://github.com/bdantas/simple-screensaver Copying-policy: GPLv3 Size: 16M Extension-by: gnuser Tags: screensaver Comments: ---------- - The script takes no arguments. To start it with default settings, simply do: $ simple-screensaver & - The script has only five settings (see the "load_config" function), which you can override if you create ~/.config/simple-screensaver.conf - Here is an example simple-screensaver.conf: idle=180 # seconds to wait before starting animation cycle=60 # seconds to wait before switching animation animation_dir=/usr/local/share/simple-screensaver/animations command_file=/usr/local/share/simple-screensaver/animation_commands.txt photo_dir=$HOME/Photos/Fiji_vacation - Your config file may have fewer than five lines--you only need to specify settings you wish to change from the default - Your config file takes effect immediately, no need to restart the script - If you remove a line from your config file, that setting immediately reverts to default - If you delete your config file, all settings immediately revert to default - Use "cycle=0" if you don't want animation to change once it starts - Keep a single line in command_file if you want a specific animation instead of a random one - Caveat: Your window manager needs to be EWMH/NetWM-compatible in order for the script to work as intended; ultra-minimalistic window managers such as flwm are not compatible (see http://tripie.sweb.cz/utils/wmctrl) - Note: The 3d animations don't work ("Segmentation fault") if Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz (one of this extension's dependencies) is loaded after your X session is already running. To avoid this issue, do "tce-load -wi simple-screensaver" then reboot. With simple-screensaver.tcz now in your tce/onboot.lst, all our dependencies (including Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz) are loaded before the X session starts, problem solved!
