      Hello!

      I would like to make a proposal for a possible module (if possible, of course). The idea is to show “noseguy” in the MM, or in a window inside MM.

      noseguy is a screensaver included in the xscreensaver package, where it can be configured for example with the fortune package to randomly display a “fortune biscuit”, a famous phrase, etc. Those of you who have been using gnu-linux for a few years will surely know what I’m talking about.

      I leave here a video of this screensaver, the audio is added in the video, the screensaver has no audio.

      I think it would be an interesting module and I don’t think it would consume too many resources to, for example, run it on a MM with raspberry pi. Also, as you can see, the background is black ;)

      I look forward to your opinions about it.

      Regards,
      Quique.

          The thing is that noseguy is not a gif, it’s a screensaver from xscreensaver. Maybe it’s not possible to run another program over MM. I don’t know

            I’ve just found that the command to make noseguy appear is

            /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/noseguy

            So, any idea of any module to launch this command and integrates in MM?
