What device? Mac? iDevice?


I am guessing Mac since you talk about 'bright display' - and one could simply place an iDevice face down


  1. Create an small image that is all Black and save where you can find it easily
  2. CONTROL + Click your current Desktop Background
  3. Choose "Change Desktop Background..." from the contextual menu
  4. Find your black image
  5. click it
  6. set to "Tile"
  7. Choose [Show All] at the top of the prefPane
  8. Set your energy saver display pref to "Never Sleep" OR set a Hot Corner to Never Sleep
  9. In iTunes, get it going
  10. Click the ➕ button to "minimize" the window to a 'little player' controller (this 'floats' over every window in normal usage)
  11. Voila! (minus my folders on the Desktop)

Alternately, you could find a few "Star Field" images on Google Image & save to a "SleepyTime" folder for a "SlideShow" on the [Screensaver] TAB
