Interactivity
Question:
Can I create interactive screen savers with ScreenTime?
Answer:
ScreenTime offers full support for interactive screen savers.
In most cases developers want ScreenTime to detect keyboard and mouse activity and quit the screen saver.
However, sometimes it makes sense to integrate interactive features into your saver such as hyperlinks, user settings, and/or a game mode.
Depending on the type of interactivity you require in your screen saver you must tell ScreenTime to ignore the keyboard and/or the mouse input.
To allow mouse and keyboard input, uncheck the Exit Screen Saver On Mouse Click / Movement and Key Presses check boxes in ScreenTime.
If you allow both mouse and keyboard activity, you must include a way for your users to exit the screen saver which will send Screentime a "STF.quit" command. For more information see:
