    Autoswitch to a screen after X seconds?

    Hi all!
    Is there a way to make RR autoswitch to a specific screen, if i don't touch the screen for some seconds?
    Like a screen saver.

    I want to make it to automaticaly taking me to a screen with only a big clock.

    Idle command

    Yes, this is pretty easy to do.

    First, open the root Road Runner folder. Look for a file named exectbl.ini, and open it in a text editor. On a line by itself in that file put the following line:

    Code:
    "IDLE","Load;Menu.skin"
    That set's up what you want to happen when the system is idle, in this case, it will return to the menu screen.

    Next you will need to open each .skin file that you want this to happen on and put the following line in it:

    Code:
    IDL,30
    This is the amount of time, 30 seconds in this example, on that skin that RR will wait until it executes the command you put in the exectbl.ini file.

    This will need to be put in every skin that you want this to happen with. If there are some screens that you do not want to automatically leave, just do not put the IDL,30 in that skin file.

    a timer command will fire at the given time no matter what. You could be in the middle of browsing your music, and it would take you away without warning

    Correct. The point here is to launch the screensaver after some seconds of inactivity.
