Corporate Communications Through Screensaver Push

EntreCS · Post by **EntreCS** » Mon Jun 15, 2009 3:12 pm

A Large Wine Company in Upstate NY is considering leveraging EScreenz, A software application that allows companies to deliver messages to all employees and workforce via idle computers screensavers. The administrative back end allows for the uploading of slides and content that is broadcast to all networked PCs through the screen-saver.

This application was first adopted by Hospitals...www.escreenz.net. Corporate Screensaver application with Push capabilities.

My company would like to make this product better and get feedback from other wine companies...does anyone have any feedback

Leverage this. Make this your corporate scrolling text screensaver message.

That's not a helpful response. If you don't have anything nice to say,
keep your comments to yourself.

Wine currently does not support screen savers.

You'll have to implement missing pieces if you want windows screen sever to work under Linux WMs.

Was anything changed in recent Windows version when it comes to screen savers?

IIRC a screensaver used to be an EXE renamed to a .scr with certain
metadata and parameters for configuration...

As a temporary solution (that will probably last quite a while), can't Wine just be made to be able to open and run .scr files directly as if they were EXE files? I understand from old WWN issues that the whole plan for screensavers is to somehow integrate it into Xscreensaver (which seems as simple to me as adding one single screensaver that can be bound to any .scr file found in Wine directories, possibly being able to open .scr config window too), but there's a lot less functionality needed to at least allow the files to run, right?
