screensaver options

[wannabepvr]

A wish: to have the ability to select windows (.scr) screensaver as an alternative to the built in GBPVR one. The idea being there are already heaps of different types available!

I try to only use features that would be available on all clients, including MVP and PCH hardware devices (which wouldnt be able to use .scr screensavers).

Fair enough. Perhaps an option for the screensaver plugin - McBainUK ?

See v2.2 on the wiki.

Bit of a nostalgia trip working on that plugin, according to the history on the wiki page it's been 2 years since I last made a change!

not exactly what you want, but you can add a screen saver as a custom task and launch it manually from within GBPVR if you've got a particular favorite.

If you take a barebones plugin ( like the hello world example) and go
public override void Activate()
{
if (initFlag == false) {
initFlag = true;
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssstars.scr"; // or your favorite
p.Start();
PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().ReturnToMainMenu();
}
}
then in config.xml change
<ScreenSaverPlugin>YourPluginName</ScreenSaverPlugin>

That should do the trick too. Assuming your not using FSE that is.
