Does anyone know of a way to make a 'null' screen saver? (i.e. one that doesn't erase the screen, nor draw anything, yet will still trap mouse movement and/or keyclicks and react appropriately - in my case, show the login screen.)
If you don't care about updating the screen saver with new data (such as window updates) you can simply take a screen capture and display that in a full screen window. There are several tutorials for this on the web and in the archives. There are OS declares that will allow you to capture the screen, but a slower/easier method is that you can also loop through all of the pixels in the System.Pixel(x,y) method.
Another option is using an 0% opaque (completely transparent) fullscreen window on top of everything. You have to get into declares for this or maybe the MonkeyBread software plugins.
