This mod can not distinguish standby vs. off at this point so... you just get a random image. You can't tell from the image whether its standby or off. At best, if you knew which image was used when it went standby, you'd later know that its power off because the image suddenly changed (but unless you have a lot of images, it could randomly just pick the same image again).

What you COULD do is make all your images short, i.e. if your device has 1400 pixels, you could make your images only 1200 pixels. The mod displays images in the top left corner so the bottom would remain unchanged, and if it says "Standby" or "Power Off" at the bottom, that would be left intact.

I'm currently working on supporting PNG transparency for other reasons so its possible in a future version you could make transparent cut out of the exact region you want to be left intact on screen.

What you still get without those modifications are status updates, for example if you are charging the device it periodically writes the charge status on screen and this appears despite the screensaver since the screensaver displays the image only once and then never does anything anymore until next time.
