From kde-devel Mon Dec 07 10:55:04 1998 From: Rene Beutler Date: Mon, 07 Dec 1998 10:55:04 +0000 To: kde-devel Subject: Re: Screensavers X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=91302829511458 Hi, the problem is how to erase the screen. you can't just add a clear function to main.cpp (the part of the source shared by all savers), because clear has a different meaning for different screensavers (for some it's just black, some would use images). so we would have to implement this function (e.g refresh(QRect &rect)) for every screensaver. not that this would be too complicated, but this is something after KDE1.1. I'm willing to create a clean interface and make the changes for the shared sources. But the changes in the savers itself is up to the authors and again, don't expect me to do it soon.
