    Default black screen! spiders!!

    That was the call i got today from one of my outside reps....

    "OMG, I logged into the CRM today (with FireFox, which is what we require our reps to use) and the screen was all black and the colors were all crazy! So i minimized it and logged in with Explorer and it was fine. THEN, when I brought the FireFox window back up, there were these littel mechanical spiders crawling down the screen!!!!!!!"

    Well, it didnt take me TOO long to figure out that she somehow had switched the theme to Awesome 80s.... and apparently, when the screen is idle for long enough, little "mechanical" spiders DO start crawling down your screen! Eureka!! Its like Space Invaders! This was a first for me. I have never stuck with any other theme besides Sugar for long enough to realize that they have screen savers!

    I didnt want to take the time to go through every theme to see what (or if) they are... Does any other theme have any screen savers?

    Hi jasonsot, the Shred theme with the snow skiier also has some glitzy stuff. There might be others that I don't recall off the top. I'll forward this along to the theme creators for their comments.

    As far as I know, Awesome 80s is now the only one with a screen saver. Shred theme used to have the screen saver, but I think it's been disabled for optimized performance. There used to be or still are some easter eggs in the Shred and Links themes (golfer swings and puts a ball in the hole).

    I heard of another user being freaked out by my space invaders, but I still think they are fun. They could be disabled, of course, by changing a few lines of code.

    Thumbs up Re: black screen! spiders!! and SPACE INVADERS

    Look out in the 5.0 RC there is a little hidden game in the dashlet tools.
    If you add that dashlet you'll have access to a little flash game base on the old space invaders.

    Funny ;o)

    Easiest is to switch to a different theme, one that doesn't have a screen saver...

    My favorite them is the paradise theme.
    Ther a little sailing boat comes up after a certain time.
    Changing this sailboat.gif to an animatetd gif of your sales directors face will produce a lot of fun.....
