Submit as a screensaver
It's named btop++ instead of btop4win on Windows. You can set it up as a screensaver that activates after 15 minutes of inactivity and locks the screen, similar to a traditional Windows screensaver.
Screensavers are a unique executable format .scr. What you can do is set up a Task Scheduler. You can add a task there and test its behavior. The most you can achieve without writing your own software is checking if the system is idle. Factors like mouse, keyboard activity, and overall system load influence this. Your program requires different conditions based on these variables, and it might not run at all if the CPU is busy. This limitation exists because Task Scheduler wasn't built as a screensaver replacement. In reality, a SCR is simply an executable file. You could rename the file to .scr, move it into the system32 folder, and try again. The preview will likely fail since it relies on direct calls to the executable, which won’t function properly for a screensaver purpose.
I attempted the renaming to .scr format, but it didn’t work. Appreciate the details, I’ll give it another try once I learn to code. Thanks.
