Your need may be driven by a different reason. In my case, it can cause a lock up when the login screen sits idle too long. I’m testing this myself because I’ve occasionally seen problems with my graphics card and the process called ScreenSaverEngin. That is, sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/ loginWindowIdleTime 0 (You’ll need to enter an Administrator password.) To stop the screen saver permanently, set NNNN = 0. Where NNNN is the delay in seconds before it kicks in. Instead use this terminal command: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/ loginWindowIdleTime NNNN However, the screen saver that kicks in after a period of time at the login screen is not controlled by that user setting. There, you can set it to the desired time on the bottom left where it says Start after: Or set to Never. The activation of the normal screen saver in OS X, after you’ve logged in, is managed with System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver. NGC 3190, first used in OS X Mountain Lion.įirst. This might apply when, for example, the screensaver engine ( ScreenSaverEngin) is acting up, and you don’t want it to activate, ever. Otherwise, no guarantee - for instance, you might get "Classic" if that's the last used one from may be times when you don’t want the OS X login screen saver to kick in. But according my testing, if you've chosen "Ken Burns" in System Preferences and later changed it to "Flurry", then when you run the above commands you will get "Ken Burns" back. Classic), and I couldn't locate the plist controlling which one is shown. There's one problem with this approach: it seems that multiple screensavers are registered with this iLifeSlideshows.saver (e.g. In terminal, run the following commands (with the hyphen-delimited alphanumeric string replaced by what you found in the last step): defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com. moduleDict -dict moduleName iLifeSlideshows path /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Resources/iLifeSlideshows.saver type 0ĭefaults read ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com. Note: You can check the custom screensaver using the Preview function. Note: Adjust the Screen options according to your preference. Go to the video source and select a video or multiple videos. At the moment I have only one Mac at my disposal so I can't tell.) Click Screen Saver SaveHollywood Options.
It might be host dependent, judging from that ByHost directory name. the only way to get out of sleep mode is to shut down (hold down power button) and restart. the second mac Mini has black screen and I cant get out of either. one Mac mini has screensaver popup (while I am using it) that I cant get out. Note that hyphen-delimited alphanumeric string. I have two mac mini M1 and both has this issue. You should see something like /Users//Library/Preferences/ByHost/com. Locate the relevant plist in terminal by ls ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.*.plist
