Where is the screen saver setup

Postby tlcmd on Fri Mar 01, 2013 5:05 am

Just installed the "new" LMDE (201303) and cannot find the screen-saver setup. Where is it since the menu doesn't really make it obvious? Or if it does, I've gone blind.

Sorry for the dumb questions, but i am moving from Windows to Linux and lack one program (MovieOrganizer 2.8.6) to make my move complete.

Greetings!

As far as I know, Cinnamon does not (yet) support screensavers natively since it is based so much on GNOME3 (Muffin).

You can, however, install the XScreensaver package if you wish.

Thanks, nice to know that I've been searching for something that wasn't there; at least the question is relevent.
