Hi Pam,
At the moment, there is no way to do that. This is a feature that has been=
requested before, and which we would like to add. However, the screensave=
r is provided by the OS, and can only blank the screen, not display anythin=
g.
We=92re looking into alternatives, and we may have a better answer for you =
sometime later this year.

Thanks
