[SOLVED] How to use a grafana dashboard as screensaver?

Hi,

I came across a blog post showing how to create an HTML screensaver template with a grafana embedding inside of cinnamon-screensaver. I also quickly looked at xscreensaver (my default screensaver) but before going too far in this direction and having to code things in C, I wanted to know if you knew another screensaver that had this option.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I follow.  You know cinnamon-screensaver does what you want?  Why not use it?  Do you want to know screensavers other than cinnamon-screensaver that can also do this?  Just check the list of screen savers in the wiki and check on them.  But all the variants of gnome-screensaver (including the "rebranded" cinnamon/mate ones) do.

My bad, I didn't install the entire cinnamon desktop environment that's why the cinnamon-screensaver crashed and I was looking for alternatives.
But it turns out cinnamon-screensaver-webkit-plugin for cinnamon and webscreensaver for xscreensaver work well.

Problem solved
