Then logout and login again, and XScreenSaver should work properly now. ~/.config/systemd/user//nf ĮxecStart=/usr/bin/ksmserver -no-lockscreen To disable it, you need to enable systemd startup for KDE and then edit the rvice user unit: In KDE Plasma, screen saver and locker features are handled by ksmserver, which conflicts with XScreenSaver. In the Xfce, LXDE and LXQt environments, XScreenSaver is autostarted automatically if it is available - no further action is required.
#Xscreensaver start full
See xscreensaver(1) for a full list of options. Tip: To start XScreenSaver without the splash screen, use the -no-splash switch.

You can view a list of the available X resources in /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver.ĭo not forget to reload the resource file after changes. ! You can use a comma-separated list of fonts to set a fallback font. If you are using a non-default theme, replace default with the name of your chosen theme in lower case, or use question mark ( ?) to affect all themes:

The example below demonstrates changing some colors and fonts. You can customize themes using X resources. You can select a theme using xscreensaver-settings or by changing the dialogTheme option ( dialogTheme: themename in ~/.xscreensaver or using X resources: xscreensaver-auth.dialogTheme: themename). Starting from version 6.0, XScreenSaver comes with several pre-installed themes. Since at least XScreenSaver 5.22, there is another way to edit XScreenSaver's user configuration, using X resources. Global options are defined in /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver.
#Xscreensaver start manual
xscreensaver-settings writes the chosen configuration to ~/.xscreensaver, discarding any manual modifications to the file. Most options are configured on a user-by-user basis by running xscreensaver-settings.

Windows= # <- the name of your code fileįor it to compile you will need the MSVCP90.dll file in the same folder. I use this setup-configuration (for py2exe) to create one single executable: from re import setupĮxcludes = ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg', 'bsddb', 'curses', 'email', 'bugger', One assumption though: I think it would be best to create just one executable instead of the regular bunch of files (=dependencies). You can right-click on that file and select "Install" or just copy it into your(?) Windows/System32 directory for it to show up in the list of screensavers! To start my program but avoid xscreensaver'sįor Windows, you can just create an executeable (eg. But it would be ideal to find another, platform independent solution, since I'd like to share this program with some of my Windows-using friends. The solution I have in mind is to use PyXSS to detect when the user is idle and manage the screensaver bit myself. I'd love to be proven wrong here (and it would be nice to return to xscreensaver after so many years :) ). I am running Ubuntu and as I need the application to be able to accept keyboard input I do not think I can use the xscreensaver/gnome-screensaver framework as it captures everything and displays the login dialog instead. So, starting the app from the command line works fine. I have the slide show and image manager aspects covered (I am using Tkinter), but I haven't implemented the screensaver bit yet. It is supposed to act as a slide show screensaver, but also as a primitive image manager. I am developing a small application for home use in Python.
