Hey @eskimo or anybody who can help, we are on 14.0 beta 7 and screensaver bugs with Sonoma are still happening. In this case the bug shows up one or more monitors, for screensavers that use WKWebView internally. The WKWebView will render HTML and JavaScript, but only partially: video tags don't play unless you goose them with a hack JavaScript SetAnimationFrame() fails JavaScript SetInterval() only fires about once per second These issues affect many third-party screensavers which internally use a HTML/CSS/Javascipt engine. reported as FB13094564 There are a bunch of other legacyScreenSaver issues with Sonoma that aren't WebKit-related as well, but most of those we have been able to find workarounds for. Thanks!

Hey @eskmio or anybody who can help, we are on 13.3 RC and this multimonitor screensaver bug is still happening. It's affecting most (but not all) screensavers when run on a 2+ monitor system.

Is there a way to change Lock Screen settings programmatically or from terminal? Especially askForPasswordDelay "Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off". I know that it is possible to do using profile.

Starting in Monterey 12.1 (Intel), our custom 3rd party screen saver is occasionally failing to work properly when in the Preview mode (e.g. the small sample window inside the Desktop & Screen Saver system preferences window). If I turn on detailed logging, I see the following calls being made: ScreenSaverView.Init ScreenSaverView.hasConfigureSheet ScreenSaverView.draw However, ScreenSaverView.StartAnimation ScreenSaverView.AnimateOneFrame are never called Oddly, this only happens when first opening the Desktop & Screen Saver window. Because, if you: start the screensaver (using the Preview button or a Hot Corner) then exit the screensaver open the Screen Saver Options panel for this screensver then close it switch to another screensaver then back... Any of these actions will cause the screensaver preview to start working. This sounds a little bit like what's beeing seen in https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial/issues/1190 which is a different 3rd party screensaver.

I am interested how am I able to create a .saver format file for my macOS and which program do I need. My goal is to make custom screensavers using graphic programs. Tried to search an information about this, but couldn't find anything that would help due to I'm newbie. If you'll guide me though this I appreciate.

When I want to activate my app, after exits the screen saver, the password input interface is not displayed on Monterey. I use apple script to exit screen saver: osascript -e 'tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit' What can I do to exit the screen saver and display the enter password screen？ thanks,

I've been away from Xcode and MacOS development for some time now and wanted to return with a Screen Saver project. I've got my project working pretty well visually, but wanted to be able to set up some configuration items on the project. So I created a new xib file called ConfigurationSheet.xib, with an NSWindow but I'm not sure how to set this view as the configureSheet property on the ScreenSaverView base class. I feel like I need to create a Swift class for the view, but the examples I've seen all use UIKit and it seems like that's no longer available. Am I right about that? Should the view class be a SwiftUI view? And then that class gets set as the File Owner for the xib file? Then further, I think I'll need a controller for the ConfigurationSheet view. I apologize that I'm so out of step with modern Mac development, but a little current step-by-step here would be really helpful! thanks, scott
