Screensaver

[mrdebug]

Hi, can someone suggest me a cross platform way (Windows, Linux, Mac) to postpone or momentary disable till the app is running the screensaver?

Hi,

Do you mean suspend your application when the screen saver starts ?

[mrdebug]

no no, I need to suspend the screensaver when my gui application is running.

Windows

SetThreadExecutionState(ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED);
SetThreadExecutionState(ES_CONTINUOUS);

Linux

Display *display= XOpenDisplay(nullptr);
if (display) {
    XResetScreenSaver(display);
    XCloseDisplay(display);
}

Mac

IOPMAssertionID AssertionID;
IOPMAssertionCreateWithName(kIOPMAssertionTypeNoDisplaySleep, kIOPMAssertionLevelOn, CFSTR("PianoJokeTouch"), &AssertionID);

@mrdebug said in Screensaver:

XOpenDisplay

I assume this only works for X11 and not Wayland?
