This screensaver is configured for every skin separately since it has to use Fonts defined by the skin! If there is no appropriate xml file it will use skin.default.xml

If the skin is not on the list below screensaver will use default font names from confluence (It might not look pretty but it will work with any skin). List of supported skins (If the skin is in the official repository it will be supported):

  • Aeon Nox Silvo
  • Aeon MQ7 (Matrix mod)
  • Aeon MQ8 (Matrix mod, Nexus mod)
  • Aeon MQ9

If your skin is not on the list, and you would like it to be - send me a message.

Possible issues: Depending on your language and selected date format the date text might become ... that means that the text for the date is too long, I can fix that easily, just let me know if it happens. (Screenshot would be great including which language you are using and how many letters are supposed to be on the screen).

Everything else should work just fine, let me know if you encounter any bugs or issues.
