Auxiliary Settings
From here you can configure additional options governing the
behavior of the screen saver.
Blank screen timeout
Determines the number of minutes that the screen saver
will draw before blanking the screen and completely giving up the CPU to other
applications.
Timeout before password is required
Determines how many seconds the screen saver should run
before it will require password validation when it wakes up. This is useful
for times when the screen saver kicks in while you are reading what’s on the
screen or if you step away from your workstation briefly.
Duration override (lengthen or shorten default Display
durations)
This slider allows you to extend (override) the all of
the Duration values used by a Display (or Displays if you are playing a sequence
or using the randomizer). The value specified by this slider is the number of
seconds that will be added to each of the duration values used by the Display.
Since most of the displays that ship with the screen saver are configured to
demonstrate the capabilities of the screen saver at a fast pace, this control
is useful for slowing things down for normal viewing (or speeding them up if
you have a really short attention span. . Note that, although the slider allows
negative values, no duration value will be adjusted to a duration less than
zero.
Disable wakeup on mouse move
By checking this check box, you prevent the screen saver
from waking up when the mouse is moved. This is can be toggled while the screen
saver is running by pressing the F9 key. For information on other keyboard commands,
please see the Keyboard Commands section of the manual.
CPU Usage
Determines how much processing time the screen saver receives
when other applications are contending for the CPU. Keep in mind that the fact
that other applications are running does not imply that they are placing a high
demand on the CPU. In general, it is a good idea to keep this set to the “Low”
setting unless the screen saver does not appear to be animating smoothly.
Animation Speed
Controls how fast the animations are drawn. This allows
users of faster systems to slow things down so that they can watch them.
Seconds to display title
This allows you to configure how long the name of the
currently running settings will be displayed in the top center of the screen
before being erased. A setting of zero will keep the name from being displayed
at all.
