:D New website... I like!

Any work around keeping the screensaver from "blinding" a script?

Other than disable the screensaver?

Seems that a script that waits for a certain window to recieve focus, is blinded while the screensaver is activate.

Thanks,

Chris

I believe the screen saver is an always-on-top window. In addition, it might be always-active while running. If true, there might be no way to make another window active while the screen saver is running without using keyboard/mouse input to dismiss the screen saver.

Any use of one of the Send or Mouse commands should dismiss the screen saver or (if it's not running) reset its timer so that won't appear so soon.

To work with a window while the screen saver is running, try using the following commands: Control, ControlGet, ControlSetText, and ControlSend.
