1. Screen Saver Running?
How can I tell from within a Euphoria program if a screen saver has kicked in? I
have several monitoring programs that bitBlt to the Screen, but die when the
user's Screen Saver turns on. As much as I'd like to, I cannot simply turn off
the end user's screen saver when my apps are running. Does the app's window size
itself go to zero or negative? Am I on the right track here?

Take a look at these two links:

...and from winuser.h:
#define SPI_GETSCREENSAVERRUNNING 0x0072
