Thanks a lot for your response!
Unfortunately, with -addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask: ,
the event is still passed on to the higher-up objects, so that makes the
screensaver engine terminate the screensaver immediately.

Gabriel, (this is a dup reply, forgot to cc list)
How are you setting up you global event monitor?
I use this to handle catching mouse moved event when my app is not in the
foreground…. maybe you use something like this
Just watch out for a lot of events and making your app a CPU hog.
I have to say, I'd be surprised if this were possible. From a security point of

Great question - I'm the author of iScreensaver. Although our editor app is
primarily built using Xojo, the actual .saver file is now a proper Swift .saver
file built using Xcode, which internally runs a JavaScript/HTML rendering
engine in a WKWebView. I mention this detail in case it's

It's a "screensaver builder":
you add a bunch of picture, "build" a screensaver, and that sits then in your
System Preferences' Desktop & Screensavers

Looks like
Here is a screensaver (actually, screensaver builder) that can capture mouse
events:

Does anyone have an idea how they might be able to do it?
