I just put NewPop on ab20.  It is a screen blanker with some bells
and whistles (with full source) that is completely user configurable.
You only get one blank mode (Dancing Qix pattern), but then again it
doesn't take a one MB machine with HD to run (like AFTER DARK :-).

NewPop has (all turn offable) titlebar clock, titlebar CPU monitor
(really task switching monitor, BTW), SCSI I/O monitor.
NewPop has features you don't get anywhere else:
Auto-blanking and defeat-blanking (this relates to mouse position 
on the screen).

But as with PopCLI, you may freely copy the software with a
few simple restrictions, namely that *no* charge is made for its
distribution and the docs come with it.

I can email copies for a short amount of time. But look for it in
/incoming/amiga/UTILS on ab20 if you can.
