Hello Everyone,
I have this really cool idea (I think) for a screensaver program. Of course I can't write it in
Java since the screensaver is run by the operating system. I really want to keep the platform independence (and avoid writing native code in C++ (shudder) ). So what I want to know is, is there anyway that I can make a java program ACT like a screensaver. Specifically when it is run it sits in the background listening to keystrokes or mouse activity (even within another program) . If after a certain time there isn't any such activity then it does something until that activity occurs.
I don't think there is anyway to listen for ALL such activity (since in java one adds these listeners to a specific component) since I would need the Java program to figure out that there is no such activity going on even in any other programs. But I thought I would see if anyone has any workarounds ...
Dan
