Bash-DVD_Screensaver

The traditional DVD Screensaver, but for bash.

Installation

You have two options:

1. Download the .jar file provided.
2. Build it yourself using Maven

The resulting .jar file can be run with java -jar (filepath)

Dependencies

• Linux as your OS
• OpenJDK 20 or above (examplary Fedora installation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-java/)
• Maven 3.8 or above

Use it as a screensaver for your terminal

You can run this like a screensaver using tmux. To do so, add the following config to your ~/.tmux.conf file:

set-option -g lock-after-time 120 # duration before screensaver activates in seconds
set-option -g lock-command "java -jar /home/me/programms/Bash-DVD_Screensaver.jar" # replace this with your path
set-option -g visual-silence off
set-option -g silence-action
set-option -g visual-bell off

Update tmux by entering

tmux source ~/.tmux.conf

In a tmux window, your terminal will now activate this after your specified amount of seconds of inactivity.

Setup your terminal to automatically open as a tmux window

Check your specific distributions' options for this. On Fedora, for example, you can configure your terminal via \ -> preferences -> <Profiles +> -> Command -> \<Check "Run a custom command instead of my shell"> -> \<Set Custom Command to: /usr/bin/tmux>

Features

• The program self-adjusts when changing the window size
  
  
• Screensaver starts after inactivity in your bash (if set up)
  
  
• Settings
• Logo bouncing off of corners
  
• Logo changing color

Configuration

The program will automatically create a configuration file on its first launch. You can use it to adjust movement speed & direction, set the colors to bright or dark only and have the background of the DVD Icon colored instead of the font color.

Find the file at:

~/.config/bash-dvd-screensaver/config.properties

You now have the following options:

Movement Speed: The lower this number is, the faster the icon will move.

movementSpeed:48  

Movement Direction: (x/y) -> x is the horizontal, y the vertical direction for each movement.

movementDirection:(2/1)

Color Background: true or false

colorBackground:false

Colorscheme: 0 = bright, 1 = dark, 2 = random

colorscheme:0

Usage

The screensaver will start automatically when executing the Java file. To stop the application and have your bash's text color reset, press enter.
