CySaver

CySaver is Blueprint Desktop's Screen Saver panel and idle arm-er. It picks a screen hack, sets idle minutes and lock, and can push blank/DPMS timing. A session daemon (`cysaver --daemon`) arms the saver after idle time.

Open it from Customize > Screen Saver, or run cysaver. Conf lives in ~/.cyanotype/cysaver.conf.

What It Does

• Panel tabs: Saver (hack, enable, lock) and Timing (idle, lock grace, X blank, and DPMS).
• Idle arm-er runs the chosen hack (or blank), then optional lock via cylogin-greeter --lock.
• Super+L / Ctrl+Alt+L (via cykeys/cywm) run `cysaver --lock`.
• `cysaver --activate` starts the saver now; `--apply-timing` pushes blank/DPMS from conf without opening the panel.

What It Is Not

• It is not xlock or xscreensaver as a front end; Blueprint owns the panel and arm-er, and runs its own hacks (Blank, Icosahedra, and companions).
• It does not replace the greeter; lock hands off to cylogin-greeter.
