We used to be able to move a slider to choose when the screen saver would start. Now we have selectable preset times. What is the rational behind reducing user choice here?

Screen lock may have been a slider also? Both are now preset times.
Thanks.

Who knows, but apple prefers we have fewer options... hw long did they insist a one button mouse was good enough?
Perhaps set it in Terminal...

Or create an AppleScript that uses sliders to set it?
I notice Automator has a start Screen Saver to tie into.

We are all other users and do not know why Apple does or doesn't do something - or the rationale behind it, sorry. You'd have to ask Apple.
Thanks. Appreciated!
You're welcome, take care my friend! :)
Why did Apple reduce choices from a slider to set times in Screen Saver pref pane?
