Screen saver functionality question

[rtruss]

So now that I got DTI working with this latest version (thanks a ton Glenn for this app!) I ended up building a few config files based on mfg to handle scaling issues but I am happy with the overall results. Microsoft Surface devices really seem to be a bear to deal with compared to the Lenovo and dell models. Have not yet tried on a Panasonic. Anyway I now want to start exploring the use of the screensaver but it does not seem to move around the screen when active. Am I missing something? Below is the config I made for it and all it does is just sit at the top middle of the screen.

I would greatly appreciate any help on this as I would like to present this to management soon.

screen saver config file:

[Screen-Saver]
monitor-mode=0
inimonitortime=10
ignore-setting-change=0
#font-charset=1
#font-face=Arial
font-size=18
#Font-quality=5
auto-scale=0
width=660

[text]

if you mean does it bounce around the screen like the old style screen savers? no it doesn’t do that. The whole screen saver thing is a misnomer these days cos we don’t *need* toys to stop screen burn in. We like to have something display when we’re not using the computer or when it auto-locks. That’s what we’re doing here. Btw, you can add “centerv=1” to get it centered.
