    Customize screen saver on Win Crap X @Phoenix @hmscott @Mr. Fox +++
    Is it possible to customize a (Eg bubbles transparent) screen saver that run, while I can see everything working on my desktop? Eg I want to watch HWinfo64 monitoring temp and everything even if the screen saver is activated and in use.

    Over time I have seen Screensavers that display monitoring info.

    You might check with the apps themselves, and their web sites, to see if they have an option / screensaver to display monitoring results while in screensaver mode. Forums, support feedback, the usual routes.

    As far as displaying your desktop, that would simply be dimming your monitor.

    Disable your screensaver, set a % dimming for the monitor, and a timeout to dim the monitor while still showing the desktop/apps visibly enough to read through the dimness.
