Disable screensaver plugin. Create a screensaver class. Create a ticks callback within the class that updates a class variable. Create a class transition callback to update another class variable with the tick value. Create another ticks callback that executes your screensaver code when you receive ticks value greater than value for the transition value + your wait value. Be sure to update an active value. When Your transition callback is triggered and screensaver is active, execute your screensaver hide/off code (and update your active value).

I’ve already done this with my mvscomplete theme (but updates have not been pushed to github). I kind of scrapped the theme in favor of the flavors theme, which I hope will have an mvs option. I just don’t understand the conveyor module. I had an idea to write my own module, but haven’t the time. I just got out of the hospital too due to a head injury at work. My coding will probably be put on hold for a while. I’m all fVcked up. If you want to see my screensaver code, send me a pm and I’ll share it with you kent.
