The screensaver needs to be set as enabled or disabled if the system is in AC mode or Battery mode if the user wishes
As the title states, the screensaver needs to be set as enabled or disabled if the system is in AC mode or Battery mode if the user wishes. I often would like the screensaver to run when I'm using my battery on my laptop, but you cannot set the screensaver to be enabled on either AC mode or Battery mode. It is either on or off no matter if the laptop is plugged in or not. I like to watch movies on AC power but the screensaver kicks in once in a while interrupting the movie. I could disable it but then I'd have to remember each time to enable it again when the movie is done or when I switch power sources. Users should be able to switch between states without worrying about screensavers. Can an option be added to Power Management or Screensaver to allow this?

Perhaps a better alternative would be to consider the computer idle only if the screen doesn't change (excluding the clock, etc?) so that if you were watching a movie, it wouldn't activate. ~Dan
If caffeine still works it could be the solution. ~fcole90
