[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 416057, member: 10858"] Impossible to use Windows own screen saver with XP at least. We need to have exclusive mode for the video playback and that means exclusive, no other software is able to Of course we could: 1) stop the exclusive mode 2) allow Windows screen saver to kick in 3) wait user activity 4) "steal" the GPU access by forcing exclusive mode At this point MP GUI engine needs to be completely reset and video graph etc. needs to be rebuild... So in short, it wont happen at least that we would allow using Windows own screen saver, for implementing the other (internal) way we are open for good patches. If all users would be on Vista or Windows 7, then the issue would be quite different and we could allow users to use Windows screen saver :p [/QUOTE]
