Yeah, I think so, I just tried the Media Player approach first and it worked well and is super easy to do, so I stuck with it. I like that it simply opens up a small window of a random screenshot I took and I can overlay windows over it but it keeps the screen unlocked anyway. I’m not sure if the same can be done with the PowerPoint technique? The eternally looping Media Player screenshot is nice since I’ll work in bursts; sometimes I’ll fuck off to Lemmy for an hour, other times only 5 min, other times I’ll actually work for several hours, all while the looping screenshot does its thing. (My work’s policy has our screens turn off every five minutes or so of inactivity and it annoys the absolute shit out of me.)
Is presentationsettings.exe or PowerPoint available to you?
