Love this tweak. What would be great is having screen savers that work similar to Wallpaper fusion that randomly shows individual or same screenbsavers on all monitors with a twist. It would also offer same ability to pull images remotely from different sites and services.
Instead of activating screensavers on all monitors simultaneously after period of inactivity, activate screens that only have not had focus or borders penetrated for a periods of time.
This could be done a number of ways, but the easiest for this implementation would be not to use the screen saver at all, but to either minimize all windows on targeted screen to show current background and then max/restore when boundaries are crossed again or you could just make background sit on top, which would probably be more difficult.

I've followed up with you via email, but figured I should post here as well in case anyone else is watching this topic. We have a similar request currently on our feature request list, and if we're able to implement it in the future, we'll be sure to let you know.
Thanks!

Thanks, I received your reply. I have an 8 monitor configured at home and just started using the multi-background feature. Then I realized how awesome it would be to have the top monitors or any others revert to screensaver mode, when not in use. The background images that are rendered are so awesome, especially in grayscale.
Also in the future, could you add support for Pokki start button for Win8?
Thanks again for a wonderful solution and great support.

Nice setup! We are actually hoping to add Pokki support at some point, so we'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to.
Thanks!

Thanks. I look forward to seeing the next series of updates. I also use my iPads as extra displays with Displaylink

Bump...
I was just searching the forum to see if anyone else was already requesting this feature and glad to see this post. I too would like to see this feature.
I only have a 2 monitor setup and when I'm working I'm usually using both monitors and jumping back-and-forth. When I'm playing a game though, I'm usually only on 1 monitor (don't like my character split down the middle by the monitor edges) and so 1 monitor sits idle for a long time. Yes, I could probably just power it off, but I like the idea of a non-focused monitor going into its own screen saver mode.
Any update on when this might happen?

P.S. I did have 3 monitors for a weekend and was playing my games that way and it was pretty cool. The problem was they are all 27" monitors and only being a few feet away from me gave me motion sickness when I would be spinning around in PVP combat. Never had that happen before and it was an interesting "experience"... LOL

I was wondering if the request above ever came to fruition? That is also something I'm interested in.
I was also wondering if there is any way possible to have multiple screensaver profiles. For instance, one profile shows sharks, another zebras, and maybe another profile shows mountains. The ability to disable/enable/change the wallpaper profile at the top of any window or a shortcut key instantly is brilliant. I'd like that ability with screensavers profiles as well.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

It hasn't been implemented yet, no. I've added your vote to it, and have also added your request for Screen Saver Profiles to the feature request list.
Thanks!
