Disable Screensaver and Monitor Powerdown when entering Fullscreen / Zoom mode
The Windows Screensaver and Power Management features can activate the windows screen saver or turn off your monitor
as you are watching videos or listening to music. This happens because you are not giving the computer any input
(clicking the keyboard/moving the mouse). Zoom Player can automatically disable the windows screen saver and monitor
powerdown while it's in fullscreen/zoom mode to resolve this issue.
Use Internal Screen Saver (seconds)
Since Zoom Player disables the windows screen saver, Zoom Player implements an Internal Screen Saver. Unlike Window's screen saver,
Zoom Player's internal screen saver only activates when nothing is playing (media is paused, DVD in menu, etc). You can choose
whether you want the screen saver to cover the entire monitor (fullscreen) or just the video area.
Internal Screen Saver should not Max the CPU
Zoom Player's internal screen saver is procedural (mathematically calculated in real time), enabling this setting ensures
that the screen saver takes very little CPU power, but it will not be as smooth/appealing.
Allow the Internal Screen Saver to be used when playing Audio files
By default, the internal screen saver is not activated when playing audio files. This setting instructs Zoom Player that
the screen saver should be active for audio files as well.
Display the Currently Playing media name
When enabled, the internal screen saver will show the currently playing media name as part of the screen saver display.
Display the Currently Time
When enabled, the internal screen saver will show the current time.
Display Streamers (adds a water effect to the image)
When enabled, a water-like animation effect will appear over the screen saver image (increases CPU usage).
Screen saver mode
You can select from several screen saving modes:
Plasma Cloud CGI Slideshow
An ever changing randomly generated Plasma cloud pattern will be drawn as the
background image.
Image Slideshow
A slideshow of random images (taken from the specified path).
Blank (Power Saving)
A blank (black) screen is used as the background image which
can reduce your display device's power usage.
Slideshow (seconds)
The number of seconds between each screen saver transition.
Slideshow Transition
You can choose from several transition effects. All but "none" increases CPU usage during transitions. Increasing the
Smoothness value slows down the transition to make it appear smoother.
Frame capture (screenshot) save path
By specifying a path in this field, Zoom Player will attempt saving any frame captures into this directory. If
no directory is specified, the images will be saved to the "My Documents" directory.
Frame capture (screenshot) format
Specify the image format to be used when capturing frames.
