How does this prevent screen burn? Also what is SB? Does it damage your TV? If so this is the first i've heard of homebrew presenting any more of a risk of SB than anything else.

I assume SB is Screen Burn, and this application PREVENTS it, not PROMOTE it.

will this work for multiman?? it would be great!

Yes i know. I was the one who abbreviated screen burn to SB. No where does it says SB in the OP. Also if you read my post i know that this app prevents it, but i was wondering how it does this, as well as saying I'd never heard that homebrew in general is more prone to causing screen burn than anything else (such an an xbox gamer movie etc.)

Oh my bad, but when you said, "What is SB", I figured I would tell you what it was It is the second line in the changelog, that says it switches between screens to prevent the image from burning into your screen. Basically, when you have left your screen on, let's say Rogero Manager for example, and left it idle, there would be a chance of screen burn for certain types of TVs and monitors. This runs in the background, and will kick in to prevent that from happening.

Right now, it is just for Rogero. I am sure as soon as other devs would like to use this in their projects, then we will see it in their projects.

awesome !!!!!! can some one do it as a theme it would be much much better

this doesn't "screenburn" your TV since it is MOVING!
if it would be just a very bright sun and some other stuff standing still, it could screenburn

but actually you don't need a screensaver since 1998 or something because like 99% of the new Monitors/TVs don't screenburn


if I find out which kind of TVs do screenburn I'll add it to this post (read about it some time ago)

PLASMAS, that is all I really know of.
