Screensaver mode?

Post by jimbojones »

I lock my pc alot, just incase anyone happens to get on it. Anyways, i have it checking my rss feeds (that i made just for lcd smartie - looks really cool) for stats on my online ordering system all day and all night..


wen i lock the machine i dont want any screens to show - is there a way that i can get it to goto a screen, e.g. one that says "Logged off" if say screensaver (which i use as a blank screen) is active or better yet if ur logged off/locked out.


any help would be great,

and cheers for this program, i know its my first post but i have been using it religiously, as well as this forum for a long time now - top work lads.

I have been playing since I posted that a couple of hrs ago, and i have come up with this..

using the Process Lister / Checker by erlis http://erlis.se/lcdsmartie/info.html, I noticed that using: $dll(processes,4,,) the only time it is null is when the login box is up, so i just have two actions:

if $dll(processes,4,,) ='' then gototheme(4)
if $dll(processes,4,,) >'' then gototheme(1)

the '' are not actually to be entered, this is to show the null value.

and theme 4 being a screen saying logon required.. cushty!:D

hope this helps anyone who was in my situation, altho im sure nobody was!

cheers,

j.
