Hi All

I have downloaded and installed 'Commander' screenblanker module and was hoping to use it to run ACUARIO 2012 a hollywood based 'screensaver' that is not a real screensaver as such.

I was told that 'Commander' was able to run this as a screensaver but I haven't worked out how to do it with module optuions I can see, what am I missing?

@sicky

1. Copy Commander into SYS:Utiltities/Blankers

2. Open ScreenBlanker Prefs

3. Move Commander to the active modules list

4. Select Commander from the list and click 'Module Preferences'

5. Set the 'Blank Command' to Acuario

Hope this gets it working for you.

I did all the above and it worked, but have to exit program manually (via Esc key) and get a blank grey screen........ oh well was worth a try!

Maybe someone can figure out a fix

Thank you for your explanation, I'll have to test it with Acuario.
