Custom Screensavers - Mellanome - 10-21-2023
Dear community,
I used the search function & did not find anything on this so I here goes. I would love to be able to have a custom screensaver on the Nerdseq, it would give people a way to express themselves in their Modular. Since I do not know if the current one is a video file, I dont know how hard this would be to implement.
Regards,
M.

It is not a video but a realtime animation generated by code.
I don;t really have time to implement any other screensavers. And custom would need someone who is coding it.

Thanks for the reply - if it`s coded, I understand the overhead. Without a video option, this would also be way to complex for many to benefit
was just an idea!

How are the animation coded? Could you open up the screensaver to look for files in a specific folder on the sd card?

The screensaver animations are simple c-code. It is not possible to replace them or write your own. They are part of the firmware.
