[QUOTE="Bleazle, post: 747941, member: 53582"] [b]ScreenSaver Setup[/b] [B]@CypherMK[/B] (and anyone else using Backdrop who wants a screensaver that uses pics) I've added a "Screen Saver" button to the "NowPlaying" screen (it's hidden unless the plugin is enabled). How to setup the screensaver: 1. Download [URL="http://blog.greggman.com/blog/nostalgic-screensaver/"]Nostalgic[/URL] and follow the installation instructions from that website (very easy) 2. Download the Multishortcut plugin - MP 1.2b compatible version below. 3. Install the plugin as per the instructions included. Make sure you rename the [COLOR="Blue"]MultiShortcut00.dll [/COLOR]file to [COLOR="Blue"]ScreenSaver.dll[/COLOR]. THEN run DLLFix.exe (as per the install instructions) 4. Open MP Config -> Plugins, setup the ScreenSaver plugin as per the attached screenshot. Make sure the Plugin ID is [B]3876111[/B] [B]Note:[/B] The Exefile path shown is for Vista; for W7 it will be in the SysWOW directory (so obviously you need to make sure you know the path to Nostalgic.exe) 5. Drop the attached MyMusicPlayingNow.xml file into the Backdrop directory (over write the existing file - make a backup copy of that file first just to be safe :) ) 5. Open MP - Play a song - go to the Now Playing Screen, open the menu, select "Screen Saver" (I didn't use a skin translation for this label because there probably isn't one - open the MyMusicPlayingNow.xml file and edit "Screen Saver" if you don't want it in English) If you've done everything correctly you should have a screen saver with random pics :) [/QUOTE]
