hi everyone
I'm trying to get xscreensaver to display a website. I know of a few approaches that have been done but none of them worked out for me. I tried the webkit-based webscreensaver by lmartinking:
https://github.com/lmartinking/webscreensaver
This just made my screen black and displayed me an error message:
The webpage itself was not visible. So based on the approach using an old opera version found here:Code:Vector smash protection is enabled

I decided to build my own thing based on the midori browser. I edited my ~/.xscreensaver file and added:
under programms. It shows up in the menu but on activation the screen just turns black. However, when I move the mouse to get back to the OS, the website shows up for a very short period of time - so I guess it can't be all wrong. Besides, when i run the command in a terminal, the website shows up and works properly. The terminal is once again displaying the messageCode:"WebSaver" midori -e Fullscreen -a http://my.website.com \n\
Anyone has an idea on that? I hope my approach could be useful to other people trying the same thing.Code:Vector smash protection is enabled
