I would really like to use/test your add-on!
Can you give me a direct link to a zip file?

Thanks

I've been using the pictures slideshow addon as a general screensaver for years, and that kicks in when media is paused? Can you explain a bit more about what it new here?

I'm unaware of any screensavers that kick in when your media is paused; usually its a 'dim' effect. The process is straight forward, not much to explain.

I was a bit confused when I saw this addon. Any screensaver can be use during pause as long as you uncheck "Use dim if paused during video playback" in the Screensaver section of Settings/Interface.

Ahhh that's right... Boo! LOL
Blame this on a over worked mind...

Still leaves the main reason for this project which was a x-ray type screensaver which is almost complete.
