It seems there are not many screensavers here in the examples forum. Thought maybe I could share mine. I'll admit some of the code is sloppy, global vars declared in functions, etc. But I started writing it almost 10 years ago and I just don't have the motivation to clean it up and rewrite from scratch. 😅

Maybe some day.. but for now, here's the code: 

; Big thanks to UEZ (AutoIt forums) for his help with the GDI programming.

Looks nice @therks.

But the clock animation seemed familiar to me. After a quick search I found it.

;)

Looks great, works good! But for a screensaver I would need a multiple monitor support to use it.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to
build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe
trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
So far, the Universe is winning.

Ah yes, that's pretty common these days (probably more common than using screen savers actually). Unfortunately I don't have a multi monitor setup so I wouldn't even know where/how to start supporting that. 🙁

I just checked the screensaver by copying to c:\Windows\SysWOW64\.

If I select in preview window (monitor) your screensaver then it will not be closed when I switch to another one. Maybe this will not be an issue because when closing the screensaver window then it will close automatically all sub processes. Afaik remember it wasn't the case in previous os. The process was still running in the memory. Maybe this is a Windows10 feature to close all sub processes automatically.

You can use 

Global Const $hFullScreen = WinGetHandle("Program Manager")
Global Const $aFullScreen = WinGetPos($hFullScreen)

to get the whole desktop size incl. multi monitors.

Ah yes, I couldn't figure out a clean way to have it close the preview process. If the application is sent a signal to close I don't know what it is. In my testing I found the same, the process died when the dialog was closed, and I believe this happened in Windows 7 at least as well so I guess I deemed it "good enough". I should probably do it properly though.

And thanks for the suggestion for multi-mon. I'll have to implement that and throw it up here again for @funkey to test. 😁

I solved the process issue by getting the parent pid and checking if child pid count changed. If so, then the current screensaver can be closed.

The screensaver will be call be parent process called rundll32.exe and should have always one child process -> the screensaver.

I had also released some screensavers, so search for them and you will find the appropriate code section. 😉

So I did encounter a problem, @UEZ. When triggered manually everything worked fine, but when triggered by the system AutoIt can't find the "Program Manager" window. So I grabbed the dimensions using _WinAPI_GetSystemMetrics instead.

It can be that _WinAPI_GetSystemMetrics() is not dpi aware. Then you will get wrong values. Currently I cannot test multi monitor with different dpi settings.

Works fine now for my three Monitors. Thanks!
