Hmm check if you have installed xscreensaver, otherwise reinstall it.

And also check if you placed the script in the right autostart folder! I sometimes pick the old one.

Write xscreensaver-command -activate in command line. If it doesn’t active the problem is with xscreensaver!

You might find this useful, I thought it was awesome when I saw it:

top_bar and bottom_bar are light gray
top_left and bottom_left are red
top_center and bottom_center are blue
top_right and bottom_right are green
upper_third is yellow
middle_center is cyan
lower_third is magenta

All these regions will resize as needed.

how would I go about that?

I don’t know that formatting is necessary. However, you could try this and know if you were successful in less than an hour.
