Running MD 3 as a windows screensaver #22

You can currently change the file extension of the exe to .scr, then right click and "install" to use natively in windows as the screensaver. Thought this was cool, only problem is it does not start in full screen mode.

To start in full screen mode, the exe would need to accept command line argument

/s

See

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ms686421(v=vs.85)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#command-line-options

Command Line Options When Windows runs your screensaver, it launches it with one of three command line options:

/s – Start the screensaver in full-screen mode. /c – Show the configuration settings dialog box. /p #### – Display a preview of the screensaver using the specified window handle.

Ok. I'll try it. I will make this from executable file to screensaver only using properties.

there will be an option to start MD3 directly in full screen mode in the next version, coming up in a few days :)

I can't add /s in the properties because of invalid symbol. I tried to run BeatDrop on Command Line, such as BeatDrop.exe /s, but it didn't start as fullscreen. Same as the .scr format.
