[] I find only one problem with this otherwise nicely done desk accessory. When the screen goes blank, the application freezes. This is unlike the 'ScreenSave' desk accessory, which simply blanks the screen while the application continues to run. I'd like to be able to let the screen go blank during a lengthy file transfer or other such event that requires the Mac to just sit and do its thing for an extended amount of time, but under FTB it requires resetting the time limit and dimming the screen manually.

True, how true. You can just uncheck Permanent, and it won't fade automatically. I will probably fix it though so it doesn't stop the Mac cold. Glad you like it otherwise. -- Brian L.
