Beziers Mystify Flying Windows

Run classic screensavers (Beziers / Mystify / Flying Windows) right inside VS Code.

Usage

alt text

  • Click the status bar icon to toggle on/off
  • Launch from the Command Palette
    • Toggle ScreenSaver
    • ScreenSaver: Beziers
    • ScreenSaver: Mystify
    • ScreenSaver: Flying Windows
  • Enable auto start to launch after inactivity (stops on input)

Settings

  • otakScreensaver.mode: random / beziers / mystify / flyingWindows
  • otakScreensaver.autoStart: auto start (true/false, default true)
  • otakScreensaver.idleMinutes: idle time before auto start in minutes (default 5)
  • otakScreensaver.preventDisplaySleep: best effort screen wake lock while screensaver is open (true/false, default true)
  • otakScreensaver.codespacesKeepAlive: run a background keep-alive process for GitHub Codespaces to prevent idle timeout (true/false, default true)
  • otakScreensaver.codespacesKeepAliveIntervalMinutes: interval in minutes to check the keep-alive process is running (default 3)

Note (Codespaces): When keep-alive is enabled, a background shell process runs continuously to prevent the Codespace from timing out. Remember to stop the Codespace manually when you are done to avoid unnecessary usage.
