Hi,
Currently the answer is no. It's not a bad idea though.. I may add it in at some point.

Unless I'm wrong, you can just change the name of the .exe to .src and bung it in the folder with your other screen savers. Now the problem with this is when you leave your computer on, and the screen saver keeps coming on, it will keep executing your .src file and your computer will crash so you have to have a method of checking if your .src file is running, and if so close the one which has just been opened. Hope that helped, I may be wrong, Tom knows more than me but you may aswell try it, it may work Thanks Jonny

Try looking for a utility to convert exe to screen saver. There are some called exe2scr. All you would have to do is compile your program with 2.21 and then run the utility on it. I do not know how well it will work though.

Hmmm,
AFAIK on Windows Screen savers are just normal .exe programs renamed to .scr. They´re called with special command line arguments when the user clicks e.g. the "configure" button.
So I think adding support for command line arguments would be enough for this
Or am I wrong?

Hello people.. Well, yes, you can included make the .scr directly from the IDE. Just say the otput to \Windows\THENAME.scr and you will see your screensaver name in the screensaver dropdown. The preview will be fullscreen, but just press esc or move the mouse if your program acept that... Grettings.. Roberto A. Berrospe Machin Senior Developer. Florida - Uruguay.
