The screensaver runs as a timed cascade: the Adom logo, then the splash, then the Wiki billboards, then it dims. Set each stage:
1 Starts after (idle)
How long the machine sits idle before the screensaver appears.
2 Adom logo holds
The Adom mark shows at least this long before the splash (it may run a touch longer while the billboard page finishes loading).
3 Splash holds
The Adom splash screen stays up this long before the billboards begin rotating.
4 Each billboard shows for
How long each Wiki billboard stays on screen before the next one fades in.
5 Dim the screen after
After the screensaver starts, the billboards play for this long, then it rests: plugged in it dims the backlight to near-black (the laptop stays awake so your /remote-control sessions keep running), on battery it powers the panel off to save battery. The dim plus slow drift are what prevent burn-in.
Include component billboards
By default the billboards show apps and skills. Turn this on to also rotate in components (eval boards, modules, parts) from the Wiki. Every billboard is labeled with its kind. Takes effect the next time the screensaver runs.

Never let Windows turn the display off
Recommended ON while plugged in. Keeps the display on so the laptop stays awake and your /remote-control sessions survive; the screensaver dims the backlight to near-black and drifts to prevent burn-in. Letting Windows power the display off makes the laptop doze and drops your sessions.

See it for real on a live Wiki billboard. Move the mouse to exit the preview and come back here.
Shows a real app page with its blue App capsule, at normal brightness.
Shows a real skill page with its purple Skill capsule.
Shows a real component page (pink Component capsule), eval boards, modules and parts, fetched on demand even if component billboards are turned off.
Shows a real private / org-only billboard so you can see the teal background + frame that marks internal pages (vs the plain public look).
Jumps straight to the dimmed screensaver: the Adom logo and AI Electronics Prototyping drifting slowly, near-black (billboards don't rotate when dimmed). See how dark it really gets.
A live look at the saver's on-disk billboard cache: every Wiki page it has fetched, the hero image it
stored, the page's title & description, and the priority score it computes to order the
rotation (higher = shown sooner). Hit Download current from Wiki on any row to pull that page's
hero right now and compare it side-by-side with what's cached, so you can spot a stale hero.
Why your machine needs different rules in the AI age
Reads your live Windows settings every time it opens, never a saved copy.
Change anything in Control Panel and re-open (or hit Re-check) to see it here. Most settings apply
without admin; the display still turns off on schedule to protect against burn-in.
