Methods, computer program products and systems for operating an application screensaver on a computer system. A screensaver activation condition is stored for one or more application programs on the computer. The screensaver is activated to overlay the client area of a running application window in response to detecting a screensaver activation condition for that application program. A screensaver process or image may be deactivated in response to no longer detecting the occurrence of the stored screensaver activation condition for that application. A screensaver activation condition may be a period of inactivity with the application program. A global desktop screensaver property may also be stored and include global desktop screensaver activation and deactivation conditions, which are used to activate and deactivate a global desktop screensaver process that overlays application program windows. Optionally, application program screensavers may be deactivated in response to deactivation of the global desktop screensaver.
