MotionSaver 🚀

Ensure the background service is running. You should see the MotionSaver icon in your system tray. If not, please re-run MotionSaver.bat as an administrator.

Run Gui.bat as an administrator to open the settings GUI. You can update the password there. The default password is test. You should change it to something more secure.

1. Ensure that the extracted folder structure is correct and all files are present. You should launch MotionSaver.bat from the D:/MotionSaver folder.
2. Press Esc to exit the screensaver.
3. Type test (the default password) to unlock.
4. If test does not work, press Ctrl + Alt + Del to bring up the Windows security screen and unlock your PC.

You can download a 1080p 30fps/60fps video and save it anywhere. Then, run Gui.bat as an administrator, use the option to change the video file, select your new video, and click Save. Make sure to restart the MotionSaver application for the changes to take effect.

Yes, MotionSaver is safe. Some antivirus programs may flag it due to the use of batch files and system-level hooks. You can add the D:/MotionSaver folder to your antivirus exclusion list to resolve this.

MotionSaver uses low-level keyboard hooks to secure the screen, which can block some system shortcuts. If you need to restore them, you can run StopMotionSaver.bat as an administrator. This is a known limitation that we are working to improve.

You can find the logs folder inside D:/MotionSaver. Please open an issue on the GitHub Issues page, describe the problem, and attach the relevant log files.

1. Try changing the video using the GUI as shown above in the "I want to change the video" section.
2. Download another short 1080p video (about 10 seconds) from YouTube or any online source and test if the issue persists.
3. If you still experience problems, please upload your log files under a new issue on GitHub Issues, including your Instagram handle (if applicable) and your Windows version. This will help the developers diagnose the problem more effectively.

If you only have a C drive, you can still use MotionSaver by extracting the MotionSaver folder to C:/MotionSaver instead of D:/MotionSaver. Make sure the folder structure remains the same.

• Move the extracted MotionSaver folder to your C:/ drive so the path is C:/MotionSaver.
• Update any references to D:/MotionSaver in your settings or configuration files to C:/MotionSaver.
• 
• Proceed with the rest of the installation steps as described above.

1. Try opening Gui.bat and update all folder paths from D:/ to C:/.
2. If Gui.bat does not open, manually edit the config.json file in the config folder and change all paths to use the C:/ drive.
3. After updating the paths, launch MotionSaver.bat from the new location on your C drive.

1. Press Esc or try clicking anywhere on the lockscreen. This should display the password field. The default password is test.
2. If the password prompt does not appear or is unresponsive, press Ctrl + Alt + Del. This will bring up the original Windows lockscreen. Enter your Windows password to unlock.
   • After unlocking, try entering the password (test) again in the MotionSaver prompt if it reappears.
   • Note: This issue can occur if the keyboard hooks are released unexpectedly.
3. If neither of the above works, press Ctrl + Alt + Del and select the Sign out option. Then log in again to your Windows account.

• MotionSaver uses low-level keyboard hooks, which may affect shortcut responsiveness.
• To use Win + <key> shortcuts (like Win + X for Quick Access or Win + R for Run), press and hold the Win key for at least 1 second before pressing the other key.
• Example: Hold Win for 1 second, then press X or R to trigger the shortcut.

• If the clock is not visible, try downloading and installing the Minecraft PE font or any other preferred font from the web.
• You can customize the clock, weather, and music fonts:
  1. Open Gui.bat as administrator.
  2. In the GUI, navigate to the font settings for clock, weather, or music.
  3. Download and install any external fonts you like; they will appear in the dropdown selection.
  4. Select your desired font and save the settings.
• This allows you to personalize the appearance of the screensaver's text elements.
