DONE: DimSaver, a better PowerDimmer screensaver alternative
brotherS:
Sounds awesome, thanks!! :D
Cavalcader:
Hi, Skrommel -- looks like a cool saver! Couple bug reports: mouse clicks aren't recognized (at least with mouse movements unchecked and keystrokes checked). Also, it only seems to permit one exclusion at a time to be checked, and I've got several that need to be excluded. :)
Got a couple goodies to offer, though -- a custom "preview" image if you want it (just the generic default in XP, dimmed, with the saver name in Lucida Handwrighting) and a screenshot of the options dialog in a similar saver called AlphaDim. It doesn't include most the features of yours, but it's got a few other novel ideas for next time you're playing with DimSaver. :D
brotherS:
DimSaver does sometimes disable itself here - did anyone else experience that too?
Edit: Maybe that's because I'm using an optical mouse where the cursor could move a pixel or two without me touching it. I have no way of being 100% sure that that's the reason, but saw that before. It should help if you would compensate for that by ignoring any mouse movement of 5 pixels or less.
Edit 2: That "disables itself" problems happens often directly after the dimming, so it might not *only* be the optical mouse alone...

:tellme: brotherS, it does ignore mouse movement within the default drag rectangle defined in Windows.
Cavalcader, I can't reproduce this. Also, what do you mean by it only seems to permit one exclusion at a time to be checked

Anyone else with these problem?

What about my "Edit 2" line? Any idea about how to track that bug down?
