Is it possible to stop/interrupt a running screensaver WITHOUT user input?
Been using screensaver for a while and absolutely love it.
We're building a callerid.app that pops up a window for 10-20 seconds with caller id information.
App is done in Xcode/Swift. All works good except that the popup will not penetrate/cancel a running screen saver. Any screen saver, not just screensaver.com, so not a bug but perhaps a feature request question?
Since a window popup does not penetrate a screen saver is there any way to do that via a programmed command/trigger?
Any/all suggestions welcomed.
Merry Christmas
