Screen Saver Component for Framer

This is a Framer adaptation of the famous bouncing DVD screen saver. I was inspired after seeing it implemented on the new openpurpose.com website. Feel free to copy the component to your project, customize it fully, and start using it.

About the resource

Once you've copied the component to your project, you can place it within your primary breakpoint. Make sure not to nest it further down; it can stay at the breakpoint level, right at the very top.

Once this is done, you can go to the right panel and set fixed positioning, with all pins activated and set to 0. This will ensure that the component always stays in view and fills up the full screen.

Then, under styles, add a z-index property and set it to 10 (and also make sure there are no elements on the website higher than this). You should also add a pointer-events style to the component and set it to none. This will ensure that you can still interact with the website despite the screen saver being on top of everything (even when you can't see it).

The next step is to connect a background element and a bouncer that will start bouncing around when the screen saver appears. You can simply grab the connector on the right side of the component and connect it to any frame that's not part of any breakpoints.

You can finish the setup process by taking a glance at the component properties on the right panel. You can change the idle time here, the speed of the bouncer, or the transition that'll be used for the appear and disappear animation of the screen saver.

Quick tip: set the idle for 10< seconds to make sure it's not distracting readers.
