Screen Saver Start Time

Question

Screen Saver Start Time

Did Apple remove the option to set when the screen saver starts in the latest Ventura (13.1)?

I don't see that option anywhere in the screen saver panel. It should be at the bottom of the panel, shouldn't it?

Thanks!

Holy cow, this new System Settings is such a mess. Whoever at Apple came up with the organization of this thing should be let go. It's so confusing.

That's true, but still, if I was looking for a setting to change the start of the screen saver (or any options for the screen saver) I am going to look under the screen saver setting, not the lock screen.

The lock screen doesn't even show up on my iMac except on startup when I have to log in. It never appears at any other time, so why would someone put that option under the lock screen setting?

It really makes no sense.

You're welcome. I think if someone has never used macOS before it's probably not as confusing. It seems like it for many because they're used to how it was before. 😎
