To make your own ScreenKeeper template, create a text file with
the following entries:
SOUNDSYNC=1 (or SOUNDSYNC=2, or SOUNDASYNC) <=== Optional, see Sounds below
IMAGE=picture.jpg
DISSOLVE=dissolve name
SOUND=mywav.wav
comment #1
comment #2
IMAGE=picture2.jpg
DISSOLVE=dissolve name
SOUND=mywav2.wav
.
.
.
IMAGE=
For each picture, specify the filename after the IMAGE= keyword. If you include path
information, it must be relative to the location of the text file. Otherwise,
if no path information is included, it is assumed that the images are in the
same directory as the template file.
DISSOLVE=
Note: Must be specified exactly as below, i.e. Random, or Left/Right To Center
Random - Randomly selects a dissolve type
Normal - No dissolve is used
Random Blocks - The image is built piece by piece
Top To Bottom - The image is built from the top to the bottom of the screen
Bottom To Top - The image is built from bottom to top of the screen
Top/Bottom To Center - The image is built from the top and bottom of the screen
Random Horizontal - The image is built randomly, in the horizontal direction
Left To Right - The image is built from the left to the right of the screen
Right To Left - The image is built from the right to the left of the screen
Left/Right To Center - The image is built from the left and right of the screen
Random Vertical - The image is built randomly, in the vertical direction
You can add as many comments as you like, on seperate lines. But, because
of available screen space, you may wish to limit comments to 2 or 3 lines.
SOUNDS
You may also include sound (WAV or MPEG) files in your template file. First, specify how the
sound files will be played:
SOUNDSYNC=1
Placing this command as the first command in your template will cause the
sound files to be played synchronously. That is, as each new image is loaded,
the sound associated with that image will be played. If the previous sound
is not completed, it will be stopped.
SOUNDSYNC=2
Placing this command as the first command in your template will cause the
sound files to be played synchronously, but the next image will not be loaded
until the current sound file is completed. Delays are ignored.
You do not have to include a SOUND= command for each image. If no sound
file is specified, none will be played for that image.
SOUNDASYNC
Placing this command as the first command in your template will cause the
sound files will be played asynchronously. That is, sound files are played in the
order they appear in your template, regardless of the image being shown. The
next sound file does not begin till the previous one is completed. SOUNDASYNC
is ideal if you want to include background music.
Because asynchronous sounds are not tied to images, you can specify them
all at the top of your template file, if desired. See the asynch.txt example.
SOUND=
For each sound, specify the filename after the SOUND= keyword. If you include path
information, it must be relative to the location of the text file. Otherwise,
if no path information is included, it is assumed that the files are in the
same directory as the template file.
CONTROL PANEL
After you have made your own template file, you must update ScreenKeeper's
setting to point to that file:
Select START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > DISPLAY > SCREEN SAVER
Select the ScreenKeeper screen saver.
Click Settings to set your preferences.
Using the drive and file windows, select the template file (normally ScreenKeeper.txt,
but it can be any text file in Template format).
