Screensaver
Which screensaver runs, and when.
Theme settings → Screensaver
After a visitor has been idle for a while, the screen goes to a screensaver. Any click, key or scroll wakes it — and that first input only wakes the screen. It isn't passed through to the page, so nobody opens a product by accident while waking the screen.
Visitors can also start it on purpose: Start → Sleep.
Which one
Bouncing logo (default)
Your logo drifting and changing colour at every wall. Hit a corner and the screen flashes
Starfield
Flying through stars
Mystify
Bouncing polygons trailing colour
3D Pipes
Pipes growing through a 3D grid
3D Maze
Walking a brick maze
3D Text
Your store name in chrome, turning in space
Random each time
A different one every time, never the same one twice running
Off
No screensaver
While music is playing, the screensaver is always the music visualizer, whatever you pick here.
Settings
Start after
60 seconds idle (15 to 300)
Bouncing logo image
empty
The bouncing logo uses, in order: the image you set here; your store's logo from Settings → Brand; the Start button's logo; and failing all of those, your store name. A transparent PNG works best — it is recoloured on every bounce.
Reduced motion
Visitors whose device asks for reduced motion never get the idle screensaver. Sleep still works for them, because that's a choice they made rather than something sprung on them.
The screensaver never starts by itself in the theme editor. Use Sleep there to preview it.
