说明
XScreenSaver is the standard screen saver and locker for the X Window System. It consists of a background daemon that monitors user activity and triggers screensavers, plus a collection of over 200 display hacks (individual screensaver programs). The daemon should be started at login, typically from .xinitrc, .xsession, or a desktop autostart entry. It monitors keyboard and mouse activity to determine idle time. When the idle threshold is reached, it blanks the screen and runs a screensaver. Screen locking can occur automatically after additional idle time or be triggered manually. Configuration is managed through xscreensaver-settings (formerly xscreensaver-demo), a GTK-based GUI that allows selecting which screensavers to run, adjusting timing, and previewing effects. Settings are stored in ~/.xscreensaver. The project includes screensavers ranging from classic effects (flying toasters, matrix) to OpenGL visualizations and physics simulations. Each saver is a standalone executable that can also be run independently.
