Disable screen saver

[etaleb]

Guys - how do I get rid of this video screen saver all together. I don’t need any screen saver at all and been playing with settings but when I do a VNC from one Mac to another, it still shows up. I simply use monitor power off settings in lieu of a screen saver

Thanks

It's in Settings > Lock Screen. Just set the time to "Never".

My settings are correct but the screen saver still comes on. Based on the below, there should be no screen saver at all coming on ever or even when I remote VNC into this machine

Looking at your first post again, I don't think that's the screen saver. It's the login window. You're logged out.

Check Settings > Privacy & Security > Advanced. Make sure "Log out automatically after inactivity" is turned off.

This is what shows up currently

Darn. That's not it. This is a remote machine, right? I have one too. Every time I go to it I am presented with the login window. I wonder if that's automatic with remote access.

Login window is fine by me; I just don't need any moving or dynamic screen savers

On my remote machines, I keep my screensaver set to never, and my desktop wallpaper (which the Login Window inherits) is just a solid color. This helps me on low bandwidth connections. That will also work for you.

Looks like selecting wallpaper changes theme of window menu bars, etc too which is fine. Which one are you using?

MARKING THIS AS THE ANSWER. THANK YOU

Toward the bottom of the window you posted, all of the Colors are just single colors. I use different colors for different accounts.
