| - | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
| - | **Xfce Screensaver** is a screen saver and locker that aims to have simple, sane, secure defaults and be well integrated with the desktop. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This project is a port of [[https:// | ||
| - | It has been tightly integrated with the Xfce desktop, utilizing Xfce libraries and the Xfconf configuration backend. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Features ==== | ||
| - | * Integration with the Xfce desktop | ||
| - | * Support for the xdg-screensaver standard | ||
| - | * (optional) Integration with ConsoleKit and Systemd | ||
| - | * DBUS interface for limited control and querying screensaver status | ||
| - | * Idle time and inhibition state are based on the X11 Screensaver extension | ||
| - | * No GNOME or MATE dependencies. Requirements are lightweight and shared with Xfce. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Usage ===== | ||
| - | The application combines two functions: a **screensaver** that blanks the screen or fills it with images when the computer is idle; a **locker** that provides session security. | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | ==== Enable Screensaver ==== | ||
| - | * This is the master switch for the screensaver. Note that the screensaver will not actually run unless activation has been enabled at the bottom of the tab. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Theme ==== | ||
| - | * The middle box consists of two parts: a list panel on the left and a small preview screen. | ||
| - | * The list panel displays available themes (also called “screensavers”). At the bottom of the list panel there is a small configuration button that can be clicked to change available theme traits. | ||
| - | * A full-screen preview can be seen by clicking the Preview button at the bottom of the tab. | ||
| - | * Only a small number of themes are available by default. But Xfce Screensaver uses [[https:// | ||
| - | * For troubleshooting information about themes, consult the FAQs. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Activate screensaver ==== | ||
| - | * Click the slider to activate the screensaver when the computer is idle. | ||
| - | * Use the counter below the slider to set the time interval after the last screen activity before the computer is considered “idle.” | ||
| - | |||
| - | <figure "Lock Screen (Locker)"> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Enable Lock Screen ==== | ||
| - | * This is the master switch for the locker. This also integrates with Xfce4 [[: | ||
| - | * Note that the locker will not automatically run unless at least one activation listed below has been enabled, although manual locking remains available. | ||
| - | ==== Lock Screen with Screensaver ==== | ||
| - | * User has the option to decide how long the screensaver should run before the screen is locked. | ||
| - | ==== Lock Screen with System Sleep ==== | ||
| - | * Enable to allow Xfce4-screensaver to put the system to sleep (suspend). | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== On Screen Keyboard ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Enabling this triggers an on-screen keyboard for login. The keyboard’s visibility before the screen was locked is remembered; a small toggle on the right end of the login screen can be used to restore visibility if required. | ||
| - | * The command and any options to activate an installed on-screen keyboard may be entered in the command box. For example: **onboard -e** needs to be used to activate the onboard keyboard, if installed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Session Status Messages ==== | ||
| - | * When enabled, status messages will be shown despite the locked state. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Logout ==== | ||
| - | * Enable to use Xfce4-screensaver to log out. | ||
| - | * Enter any required command, and use the counter below the slider to set the time interval before logout. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== User switching ==== | ||
| - | * Enable to allow Xfce4-screensaver to switch user. | ||
