This is really just a quick collection of scripts activated via a .scr (which is really just a masked .net EXE that executes a clever .cmd), which chainloads a miner of your choice and a screensaver of your choice, and kills the miner when the screensaver ends.
Bottom line: It enables you to mine when your computers screensaver kicks on, ie at idle, and then stop when you come back to it. You can use any miner or software or pool you can put in cmd form. See "CMS.cmd" for customization options in a text editor of your choice, it is documented with REM statements between the lines.
I am not responsible for anything that happens or does not happen from using this, but it works for me (other than a few weird graphical bugs on the screensaver preview page because of how I "trick" windows). Source is provided for all included binaries. By default, it mines ethereum for my wallet using an open source miner (with included source for it's exe) that does not levy a dev fee. Change it to whatever you want, respecting the comments in the script, they will guide you.
It launches the windows "Photos" screensaver by default but will work with any screensaver in .scr form that it can launch.
To install, extract the contents of the zips "system32" folder to C:\Windows\System32 (this path is hardcoded for exe screensavers with windows), right click the .scr, and click "install" in the resulting menu (preferably after you have set up/edited the cmd script, though I don't mind donation mining as a thanks). Then select "CMS" as your default screensaver in windows under the usual place. Set the timer and forget about it.
Hope it's useful. Intended for gamers who also mine, and provided in the hopes it will be useful, nothing more. The license is Public Domain / I don't care, with the exception that if I ever catch you using this in crypto malware, you will go straight to frog hell.
Enjoy!
NOTE: Because this is crypto software and contains several chainloaders, it will almost certainly trigger heurestic based antiviruses. Check the source if you are paranoid (or rather, sensible).
