Is there any way with df or any other app to set a profile for display properties as in:

Turn screensaver off and change power settings?

Looking for a quick way to do this and to be able to assign it to a key combination.
Thanks

This should be a start to what you need, and someone might be willing to create a display fusion function that disables the screensaver, aswell as runs that (I tried, but failed on the toggle)
This should be the relevant code

Code

BFS.DisplayFusion.RunFunction("Disable Screen Saver");
BFS.Application.Start("YourShortcut", "");

Thanks Jcee :)

I did come across the cmd line method and had a go at creating a couple of batch files to switch back and forth. That combined with autohotkey should make life simpler but I came across a little program called nosleep written by Mike Langford which does exactly what I need:

Seems to be working very well so far but I will play around with the cmd/batch stuff a bit more and if successful, will update this thread.

Thanks again :)
