Current (06/21) and KDE...where's the screensaver?
by FTIO from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5KEYN)
Hi folks,
Been using KDE since I got started with Linux back on 2000. Always found the 'screensaver' in the KDE 'system settings' in the Kmenu (if I remember right).
Now, with KDE/plasma5, I can't find the screensavers to save my life! Naturally I see 'xscreensaver' in the Kmenu, but that's not the same as I remember. I'm really bummed, because I really, really, really want to have to screensaver I use on my 14.2 box (it's an extremely nice white outline 'clock' on a black background, with white minute marks, white minute and hour hands, and a red second hand that hits the minute marks so accurately that there's none of that 'jaggedness' in the straight line of the hands that one often sees on an MS setup).
Just curious if I'm simply missing it somehow and need to get better reading glasses, or it's actually gone from Plasma.
Sorry if this is a dumb topic, but it's kinda important to me as it keeps me from having to buy another clock to hang up in the house and have to spend money I don't have on batteries all the time or electricity (hey, a disability check doesn't go far, I literally have to plan out to the penny my spending month-to-month..it sucks!).
Here's a picture of the monitor and the screensaver (it's a terrible picture, my camera got fried trying to take pictures of the solar eclipse a few years ago because I forgot to throw a towel or something over it while I was waiting for the moment :( ,...it was a 96 degree day and 65% humidity, it killed my camera and I got lousy pictures of the eclipse but I didn't know until I got back home, oh well)...
