LINEZ - A USER-CONFIGURABLE DESKTOP SCREENSAVER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTRODUCTION
Linez is a desktop front-ended screensaver which bounces lines around the
screen, fading them from one colour to another. The lines can either be
straight or curved (bezier) and for speed the screensaver code itself is
written in pure ARM assembler. This program requires 32k to execute.
This screensaver does not, however, work with the RISC OS screenblanker
utility so this should be turned off. Also, in multitasking mode, naughty
programs that use direct screen access without checking for screen output
disabling, like Zap's flashing cursor or an active taskwindow, can cause
wierd little bits to appear on the screen in odd places.
The basics are that clicking SELECT on the application on the iconbar icon
opens the configuration window (which should be self-explanatory) and ADJUST
starts the sceensaver (which has a default delay time of 30 seconds). Another
way to start the screensaver is to move the mouse to the top-left corner of
the screen and wait for 3 seconds. By default the screensaver runs in the
current desktop mode. Move the mouse or press SHIFT to return to the desktop.
NEW - Also responds to !CallerID.
Things can get REALLY fun when you have say five copies of the screensaver
multitasking together - they will all start at the same time! For best
results don't use reflection when using multiple copies.
