How to set screen timeout and energy settings?

[Neo_78]

I was not able to find this in the documentation. How do you set the energy saving settings for your screen in FatDog that switches the screen off after a certain period of inactivity? I would like to adjust it to keep the screen permanently on.

Thanks!

In the Control Panel>Desktop|Display (depending on which version you are using)>PupX, set the screensaver timeout to 0, that should be all. This would be good to document.

Thanks @dr__Dan. This worked and should be added to the documentation.

My desire is to inhibit the screen timeout / sleep function (as I use it for my "Roku-TV" sort of setup on an old, Non-Smart TV.
I realize it's an old thread.
