Hmm, that was never my experience. My understanding is that
screensavers were designed to *prevent* burn-in on CRTs, not remedy
burn-in. I was certainly never able to get a screensaver to "erase" the
burn-in from the static elements of WordPerfect 4.1 and Lotus 1-2-3 on
my first PC....

radish is probably right that an "all pixels on" plugin would probably
be ridiculously easy to write. Until that appears to restore stale
pixels a good preventative is the FuzzyTime plugin, which allows the
date/time screensaver to drift back and forth across the VFD screen.
Unfortunately, I don't think it works with the more elaborate
screensavers like WeatherTime.
