hi there,

in 1994 I posted a wish like this:

this is what I'd like: the GUI will be called by the screensaver. in other words, I'd like to have:

- a service which runs in the background and compute when the computer is idle for xx minutes (where idle=no user activity or no logged user);
- the service must use idle CPU cycles;
- a GUI which starts when the screensaver runs - even if the console is locked - showing service activity

is this possibile with current release 3.19 or is it planned for a next release?

as far as I've understood it is not possible with v5.2.13 yet, am I right?

thank you.

Do-able now.

Install as service.

Turn on interact with desktop.

See the "How-To" Guide in the Wiki ...
