= Screensaver Logic = The screensaver supports: 1. Fullscreen graphics from project applications 1. A default BOINC logo screensaver when no running applications support graphics 1. Screen blanking after a given time If the screensaver is running, the core client will try to devote screen time to a different project each time the CPUs are rescheduled. {{{ request_ss_app(): choose some app that can do graphics if app exists: request app (from a different project if possible) to do fullscreen graphics ACK deadline = now + 5 sec else: do_boinc_logo_ss = true // called to force poll function to request another app to do graphics // // this is called by schedule_cpus() whenever CPUs are rescheduled // reset(): tell any fullscreen app to hide do_boinc_logo_ss = false // called when core client receives a message from the screensaver module // start_ss(new_blank_time): save all apps' modes hide all apps blank_time = new_blank_time if activities not suspended: request_ss_app() // called when screensaver module quits // stop_ss(): clean up stuff restore apps' modes // called once a second // poll(): if activities not suspended: if doing screensaver: if blank_time != 0 && now > blank_time: if not screen not already blanked: tell any fullscreen app to hide blank screen do_boinc_logo_ss = false else: get the fullscreen app if app exists: if app has sent ACK: do_boinc_logo_ss = false else if ACK deadline has passed: tell app to hide do_boinc_logo_ss = true else: request_ss_app() else: do_boinc_logo_ss = true ///////////////////////// logic of screensaver program: screensaver starts creates blank windows on every screen show "screensaver loading" in all windows if core client not running and not set to run on startup show "boinc not running, auto startup not detected please reinstall and select this option" 10 times, every 1 sec, then once every 30 sec set_screensaver_mode RPC to core client pass desktop/windowstation, blank time get_screensaver_mode returns: - some app is doing fullscreen - no graphics-capable app - BOINC suspended - time to blank after each get_screensaver_mode (beyond initial 10 sec): if no app is doing graphics, do get_results RPC show string on all windows }}}
