8.2.3 Configuring the Screen Saver<br />

Use Screensaver Preferences to select or change your screen saver. A screen saver is<br />

a small program that takes over the display screen if there are no keystrokes or mouse<br />

movements for a specified duration <strong>of</strong> time.<br />

You can select a Random screen saver (random selection <strong>of</strong> screen savers from a customdefined<br />

list) or a Blank screen instead <strong>of</strong> a screen saver or Disable the screen saver<br />

function. Another option is to select a specific screen saver from the list <strong>of</strong> installed<br />

screen savers. The currently selected screen saver is displayed in the preview window<br />

on the right.<br />

Use Activate after to determine when the screen should be made completely blank (if<br />

you choose the Blank screen option) or when the screen saver starts after there are no<br />

keystrokes or mouse movements. All time references are in minutes.<br />

Select Lock screen when active to lock the screen when a screen saver is running. To<br />

unlock the screen, move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard then enter your<br />

password.<br />

8.2.4 Choosing a Theme<br />

A theme is a group <strong>of</strong> coordinated settings that specify the visual appearance <strong>of</strong> a part<br />

<strong>of</strong> the desktop. Use Theme Preferences to select from a list <strong>of</strong> preinstalled themes or<br />

customize the settings to your own preferences. The list <strong>of</strong> available themes includes<br />

several themes for users with accessibility requirements.<br />

A theme contains settings that affect different the following parts <strong>of</strong> the desktop:<br />

Controls<br />

The visual appearance <strong>of</strong> windows, panels, and applets. Also the visual appearance<br />

<strong>of</strong> the GNOME-compliant interface items that appear on windows, panels, and<br />

applets, such as menus, icons, and buttons. Some <strong>of</strong> the controls setting options<br />

that are available are designed for special accessibility needs.<br />

Window Frame<br />

The appearance <strong>of</strong> the frames around windows only.
