So, it is not very much different from full-screen mode at this time. Hello, I noticed that ever since the windows 10 update my photo screen saver has not been working, just shows a black screen. I can bring Windows apps to the foreground, but as soon as I bring any Ubuntu window to the foreground, all the windows apps will disappear, hidden by the ubuntu desktop even if I activated an Ubuntu window in a different monitor.

The problem is that the Ubuntu desktop wallpaper is shown, effectively blocking the Windows desktop. I recently upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and seamless mode no longer works correctly. If you set it to zero then the Screen Saver will not be started. If you have enabled this setting then you can set the timeout value to anything from a minimum of 1 second to a maximum of 86,400 seconds, or 24 hours. I tried both the Raindrops one (from Writing a Screen saver in WPF), as well as the CC Hearts Screen Saver.Both showed the preview under Windows 8 RTM (32 and 64 bit versions) in both cases, the screen goes black for about 10 - 15 seconds, and then the preview gets displayed.
