On the Settings > Functions tab, you can add Scripted Functions with code like this:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        BFS.ScreenSaver.SetTimeoutMinutes(15);
    }
}


You can then call that Scripted Function from a Windows Scheduled Task by having the task run the following command:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -functionrun "Set Screen Saver Timeout to 15 Minutes"


Hope that helps! ]]> Variable screensaver timeouts https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/variable-screensaver-timeouts/?ID=904c3d6a-5b0b-4af1-b98f-556a8188dae4 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 12:16:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/variable-screensaver-timeouts/?ID=904c3d6a-5b0b-4af1-b98f-556a8188dae4 DisplayFusion It would be nice to have different screensaver timeouts depending on the time of day and day of week. At a minimum, I'm thinking of long timeouts for work hours and shorter for non-work-hours (including weekends). I imagine others who do not work at home may want the opposite.

I also like the (now very old) idea of screensaver timeouts per-screen (based on no mouse activity within the screen boundaries). I remember the thread from years ago, if you're still collecting votes, here's one more. :) ]]>
