[comp.sys.next] Screen Saver, Refresh

jm7e+@andrew.cmu.edu (Jeremy G. Mereness) (08/24/90)

I don't know if anyone is taking suggestions for future NeXt releases, 

But the NeXT could use a screen saver for the login box, like VMS
workstations have. Just dimming the screen doesn't do the trick, as
several of our older NeXT's now have login boxes permanently burned into
the screens. 

The other thing is that it would be nice if there were a Refresh feature
for the desktop. True, nothing *should* corrupt the screen, stuff we
were experimenting with dumped messages to the console, which corrupted
the desktop, and there was no way to fix things except dragging a window
all over creation.
