Use a URL to website or local files to display contents in a custom screensaver. Compatible with multiple displays. I created this project since I've just started learning about web-development, and thought it would be cool to have animations show up when my desktop is idle 😄!
- Windows 10 or above
- WebView2 runtime (Should come with Windows 11)
Run the following command in Powershell
iwr -useb "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EnhancedJax/IdleWebview/master/Installer.ps1" | iex
This will install Idle Webview along with Rainmeter, which is the framework for displaying the screensaver window and retrieving measure values.
By default, everything would activate and load on device startup.
The main folder is located at
%appdata%\Rainmeter\JaxCore\InstalledModules\IdleWebview.
The config file is located at
%appdata%\Rainmeter\JaxCore\InstalledModules\IdleWebview\@Resources\Vars.inc.
- After installation, it will show a
.incfile where you can edit the settings. - Idle Webview is also automatically activated. To show the screensaver, press
Win + Kor wait the default5midle duration. These can all be changed in the settings. - After editing the settings, click on the
Refresh.lnkfile in the main folder to apply the settings. - The style folder can be found at
%appdata%\Rainmeter\JaxCore\InstalledModules\IdleWebview\Launch\Styles\<style_name>, however you can change theURLto anything, local or external. - 🐛 For Javascript, it's intended to be able to retrieve measure information from the Rainmeter interface, however it seems to be broken right now. Hopefully it would be fixed soon.
Wether or not you're a seasoned web-dev or you're new to this, feel free to create a custom style and create a pull request!
