What is the sleep screen

When you assign the Sleep Deck Screen action to a key, the deck does not stop working; the six LCD keys turn into a single image. The image is split into a 3x2 grid, so you see one whole picture across the keys rather than separate pieces. When you touch any key or knob on the deck, your profile comes back; that first touch only wakes the deck and does not run the action underneath.

​
Choosing your own image

The Wallpaper section in the left panel determines what appears on the sleep screen.
  1. Choose a file from your computer with Upload image.
  2. Click the image you uploaded to select it; the check mark in the top-right corner shows which one is in use.
  3. The sleep screen shows the image you selected the next time it opens.
The Default tile is the image that ships with evoX and cannot be deleted; you can remove the ones you uploaded with the trash button. If you delete the image in use, the selection returns to the default automatically.

​
When the computer sleeps

While your computer was asleep, the deck screen used to keep showing your last profile until you turned it off. Now you choose what happens from the When the computer sleeps card at the top of the Wallpaper section: When the computer wakes up, the deck returns to your profile on its own; you don’t need to do anything. If the deck is still dark right after waking, touching any key also brings the profile back — that touch only wakes the deck and does not run the action underneath.
The choice takes effect on the next sleep; it is not applied to the deck right away. This setting is for the computer’s sleep; it does not change the behavior of the Sleep Deck Screen action you assign to a key.

​
Supported files

Animated wallpapers play while the deck is connected directly. If evoX has fallen back to a backup connection path, the first frame is shown as a still image — the sleep screen still works, it just doesn’t move.
Because the image is spread across six keys, landscape framing (close to 3:2) gives the best result. A portrait photo also works; it is cropped at the edges to fit the grid.

​
What is sent to the deck

No video is sent to the device. evoX decodes the animated file into a limited number of frames and draws them on the keys frame by frame; that is why even a long video does not strain the deck. The files you upload stay on your computer and are not sent anywhere.
