IDEA: Screensaver for individual screens

(1/2) > >>

Genomi:
Having multiple monitors can be beneficial, but then there comes the thoughts of burn-in when one's not "moving" much. Sometimes I'd like to play a game and leave something on my other screen to monitor, like maybe a download or a chat. The problem with this is, the chat monitor may get a little burn-in or image persistence after a while. My 20" Dell2001FP LCD will give me some image persistence when I leave anything in one spot for even a couple minutes.

I'd like to have a "screensaver" that activates when there's no activity on a screen, but being able to use the other screen(s) while the screensaver is up (i.e. mouse movements won't affect the screensaver until the mouse goes onto that screen).

mouser:
nice idea.. don't know how hard it would be, but nice idea.

belkira:
Have not tested it but I did find this:

did some googling but as belkira mentioned only UltraMon claims to have this feature.. it seems that when it comes multi-monitors, UltraMon is ahead of the crowd, if there is one.. ;)

UltraMon™ Screen Saver
included with UltraMon™, lets you use screen savers that aren't multimon-compatible by running them on the primary monitor and blanking all secondary monitors. You can even run a different screen saver on each monitor!

Genomi:
I tried UltraMon and it's only activating the screensavers when I've not moved my mouse at all. I was hoping for something that would let monitor 2's screensaver come on while I'm doing stuff on monitor 1. Is there a specific way to configure it to do that?
