Screen without Lock Extensions
You
can customize the screen blanker or Front Panel lock, or return the settings
to the default. If your system supports lock on timeout, see "Screen with Lock Extensions".
If you have a color display, bright colors on the screen can burn into the picture tube. Setting the screen to go blank or be covered prevents this from happening.
Power Management
If you select a blank background screen, and your hardware is capable of turning the power off, it does so to save energy.
To disable power management when using Solaris CDE, change the Style Manager's screen saver default blank screen to a screen pattern. It can also be disabled by running the following command in a terminal emulator window:
% xset s noblank |
To Change Screen Blanker Settings
Select the settings you want:
Screen Blanker: Enables (On) or disables (Off) the screen blanker immediately, even before you click OK. When Screen Blanker is On the Start Blanker slider is active.
Start Blanker: Specifies the number of minutes from the last pointer movement or keystroke before the screen is blanked. When this value is changed, the new value goes into effect immediately, even before you click OK.
To save the changes, click OK. To return to the default settings, click Default.
To Change Front Panel Lock Settings
Select the settings you want:
Use Backgrounds For Lock: Enables the lock backgrounds.
Transparent Lock: Backgrounds are not used when the screen is locked.
Backgrounds List: Displays the available backgrounds in a multiple-select list. Select or deselect a background by clicking on the list item. The last background selected will be displayed to the right of the list.
Time Per Background: Specifies the number of minutes each selected background runs before the next one starts when the screen is being saved. The backgrounds are cycled through in the same sequence as they appear in the list. A setting of 0 (zero) results in only the last background (the one currently in the preview area) being used.
To save the changes, click OK. To return to the default settings, click Default.
