Hi all,

I know what "exposure" means as used in the world of photography.

But I can not fathom what it is in a screensaver and what "allow exposures" does.

As you can see I left it untranslated, but that's not very satisfying....

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have translated it as: "Allow to redraw window".

Thank you Sergey.

I will do the same.
You probably mean "screen" and not "window"... (I do understand what you're saying though)

Thanks again,

Bert

For screen-saver control:

gives some explanations which I also do not (yet ) understand.

Just did a quick pupX/screensaver test:

I changed both 'Delay' and 'Interval' to 5 sec.

* unticking the blank screen option, does nothing, screensaver stays black.

* unticking the 'allow exposure' option, prohibits the screensaver from running.

At first sight: not very useful, these checkboxes
