when you allow DF to control the screen saver it's interesting that they all have no setting when the start or anything
Could you clarify the issue you're running into? You should be able to set the idle timeout on the DisplayFusion Settings > Screen Saver tab as well.
Thanks!

It just every saver in win 8.1 it is either on or off, you'll unable to set, when it turns on or off, for that matter; thou it may be that you need to go into the power management settings. Also the only way to get out when it did decide to kick on was to "control-alt- delete" and that was after looking at a black screen. Example mystify, this has no settings.

Ok, those screen savers (Mystify, Ribbons, etc) definitely don't have any settings, but the idle timeout isn't specific to the screen saver. On the DisplayFusion Settings > Screen Saver tab, there should be a timeout box below the other screen saver options. Please see the attached screenshot for reference.
For exiting the screen saver, could you try clicking a mouse button, or pressing a different key on the keyboard (any one of the letters should work for sure).
Thanks!

OK, tried your settings...and will have to wait to see if they work. But doesn't look to hopeful; on preview just got blank screens, again and still had to do control-alt-delete, to get back to any sort of control. as once your screen saver kicks in it ignores every keyboard or mouse click. sighs thea
PS when screen blanks mouse curser still shows but anything other than control-alt-delete get no response and all displays remain blank.

Ok, interesting. After you selected the DisplayFusion Photos Screen Saver, did you click the Settings button to choose the folder for the images?

I haven't tried using the photo screen saver but Dream Aquarium on the main landscape monitors and windows mystifies on two side portrait monitors. I've a set up of extended screens in three zones: zone 1 - landscape. zone 2 - portrait, landscape, portrait. zone 3 - landscape. Not sure if your program can do this, maybe I've made the wrong assumption. Though adding time to the time out tab did help.
ps when using windows mystify across all screens, you would be able to get out of it with a key push.
