- -------- Cycle Screen Saver Version 1.02 - Demo Version ----------
-
- Requirements: Your display driver MUST show 256 colors at 640x480 resolution!
- Otherwise, no palette animation will be seen.
-
- This screen saver demo shows the capabilities of the Cycle Company's new
- palette animation screen saver. First, a brief plug to get you to kick
- in th $17.50 for the registered version by telling you the things you
- get for your money. The complete screen saver will allow ANY bitmap file
- to be used, stretching the bitmap to fill the screen below the scrolling
- marquee text. If the marquee text is deleted, the bitmap fills the entire
- screen. If marquee text is entered, it scrolls from right to left and is
- continually repeated. Five additional fractal bitmaps are included with
- the registered version, which will be mailed to you on diskette.
-
- Now - how to activate the demo copy you have just received? Simply type
- "cycle" in the directory where you unpacked the .ZIP file, and the
- component files will be placed in the proper directories for a normal
- Windows installation. You can then open the Control Panel in the Main
- file folder and activate the Desktop applet. You will now see the text
- "Cycle Screen Saver" as one of the choices in the screen saver window.
- Select this, and the Setup button will let you customize the appearance
- of your screen saver. The bad news - in the Demo version, you can't
- change the bitmap file or marquee text selection. But wait, there's
- hope! You CAN register as indicated above. Just fill out the following
- information and mail it the the address below, and we'll take care of you.
-
- For bitmaps where color cycling does not present a worthwhile image, you
- can set the Smoothness parameter in the Control Panel setup to 0, which will
- cause the screen saver to "fade out" the image and then refresh it.
-
- NOTE: If you're a laptop user, then you know why just moving the mouse
- doesn't stop the screen saver. Since most laptops have a hardware screen
- blanker, you don't get to see much of the software 'savers. In this case,
- simply move your mouse or trackball, and the hardware will re-enable the
- screen without having the software remove the screen saver. To cancel the
- software 'saver, I use the SHIFT key, but you can click the mouse buttons,
- too.
