CDE Screensaver

[Van Poelvoorde]

How can I develop my own screensaver on HP-UX for CDE (Common Desktop Environment)?
In other words, can somebody tell me what is the format of an HP-UX screensaver that can be used with CDE?

thanks,
Wim

Hi,

How about looking at the xlock source code in Linux for reference?

Hope this helps. Regards.

Sorry, but I'm a bit of a rooky in this domain.
Where can I find the xclock source code, and is the xclock a screensaver? I thought it was just a program that show a ananlog or difital clock on your screen?

Hi Wim,

No, Steven said xlock, not xclock!! One place to find it is:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/X11/Graphics/xlockmore-4.16

but any of the porting sites should have it.

Rgds, Robin.

There is one that hp developed:

I saw it on hp.com/do/hpux11

I'll check if it's still there and post back.

But it was more or less gif/bmp swapping.
I'm sure you could just change the gifs yourself and install it as is.

I'll post up the application to an external URL tomorrow..
I saved it on CDROM and it appears that HP have removed it from their hp-ux transition site.

I'll post up here first thing tomorrow morning.
