How to use your own screen saver in the DE1app

You can use your own screen savers for the DE1app.

You'll find the JPEGs that are used for the screen saver, in this directory:

/de1plus/saver/1280x800/

You can put any JPGs you want in there, and remove those you don't want. But do make them 1280x800.

Note that if your tablet screen is a different resolution, you'll need to look in a different directory in "saver" to match your screen.

Also, don't remove the standard pictures. They'll just be re-downloaded the next time you update the app.

SWDark skin completely replaces the screen saver directory with its own, but that's definitely not for non-technical people to do themselves.  This info is for programmers. To change the screen saver directory, do this in your skin:

set_de1_screen_saver_directory "./skins/SWDark3/screen_saver"

by default, the Android "lock screen" and "android screen saver" are disabled when the de1app is running. To change this, change this setting in /sdcard/de1plus/settings.tdb
