I'm writing a screensaver using SFML 2.0, however I am running into some problems with shaders.
I should state that I haven't written a "formal" windows api screensaver, I am using the normal main and only renaming the screensaver from .exe to .scr while I am testing. This is legal and in fact works in setting up the display/drawing, but for some reason shaders fail to work.
At first I thought there might have been a problem with the execution directory but even when hard-coding the shader location it was failing. After some debugging I discovered SFML was simply unable to use shaders when the extension was changed to .scr.
Also, slightly off-topic, but has anyone had any success with screensavers in SFML in the past? Did you use <screensaver.h> and go through the "proper" windows protocol? I'm trying to decide if I should even bother with the winapi or just stick with main and command line switches. I also can't decide if I really need SFML or not... I'm really only using it to get an opengl context and load the fragment shaders which could easily be done the old-fashioned way.
