StuffOfInterest, some time ago, you talked about an option that would automatically start the miner when the screensaver got activated, or something similar. How's that coming along? I sometimes forget to turn on the miner, and when I come back after an hour and see that my PC was just idling, it is pretty annoying.

I had tabled the idea a while back when I noticed that every time Miner Control stopped one miner and started another it would bring the computer out of screen saver mode.  Appeared to be related to opening a new window.  Since I put in the internal console I haven't seen that behavior so it may be worth revisiting the idea.  I did a little bit of research on how to detect the screen saver but it looked at the time like the techniques were a bit hit or miss.  I'll have to look into it again.
