Screen Saver
Lively can set currently running wallpapers as fullscreen Screensaver.
Supports all Lively wallpaper types - video, online stream, gif, webpage, games..
Think of Lively as a powerful screen saver manager with modern features like multiple monitor support.
Most modern LCD and LED displays do not suffer from burn-in issue and therefore any wallpaper can be used as screensaver.
For OLED, Plasma or CRT displays which are susceptibe to burn-in it is advised to use wallpaper with regular motion and an overall dark theme which is supposed to mitigate burn-in but this feature is untested and its effectiveness cannot be guaranteed.
The main purpose of Lively's screensavers is to add another layer of customization to your pc, use screensavers as burn-in protection at your own risk!
