Can we turn off the 'screensaver'?

Is it possible to just let the client run in the background, and NOT use the screensaver?

Just curious.

Yes, Alther has said that the screensaver is just an optional freebie. Turn it off, switch to a different screen saver, whatever you like.

Hi JJ

Yes
Click on WCG Icon in task bar then Click on preferences.
Make sure the Upper left hand corner check box is blank.
Next go to desktop left click and click properties.
In display properties click screensaver tab then
set the screen saver to none.
That should do it.

I nominate USA's answer for the FAQs. We need this sort of clear explanation where New Members will easily come across it.

Only if you change his wording of none (for choice of screen saver), to none or your choice of other screensaver. Some users actually follow instructions as worded. tongue
