Independent screen saver feature doesn't seem to work

I ran across DisplayFusion while looking for a way to have the primary monitor in my system turn off or at least "blank" while I'm watching a movie or video via XBMC on my secondary monitor, an HDTV connected to my PC, which btw is running Windows 8.

I downloaded the 30 day trial to test just this feature, and set displayFusion to manage the screen saver. I set the screen saver for the primary monitor to "blank", and "no screen saver" for the secondary. I left the allow preview mode checkbox checked.

Despite this both displays go blank when the screen saver is triggered.

Any ideas to get this to work? I was considering Actual Multiple Monitors but I like the displayFusion price and whole lot more!

Thanks.

Thanks for trying out DisplayFusion!

The "No screen saver" option still blanks out the screen, as the screen saver runs on a secure desktop. It's not currently possible to blank out one screen only with DisplayFusion. However, this is on our feature request list, so I've added your vote, and we'll be sure to post an update as soon as we're able to implement it.

Thanks!
