Welcome to the demo version of Bliss Saver. This exciting new program displays animated color paintings on your screen. The full version functions as a screen saver, preventing burn-in of static images. This demo version gives you an idea of the kinds of features and paintings that the full version of Bliss Saver has.
Installation
• Drag the Bliss Saver Demo floppy disk icon to your hard disk. Open the new Imaja folder on your hard disk and double-click Bliss Saver (FPU). If you get a message that says you need an FPU, then run the other version. The FPU version can be used on Macintosh models that have an FPU and it significantly speeds up certain types of painting.
• Once you have Bliss Saver running, choose the Help command from the Bliss menu to open the on-line manual. The demo manual contains information about most of the features of Bliss Saver.
Demo Version Limitations
• The Bliss Saver Demo has a fixed-size painting window. In the full version, the painting window can be zoomed to fill the screen with the Zoom Window menu command, or it can be resized by dragging the lower right corner of the window.
• The Bliss Saver Demo does not fully operate as a screen saver. It displays the paintings, and every 4 minutes an advertisement appears. When the full version saves the screen, all monitors connected to the Macintosh computer are painted black, and the current painting starts to display.
• The Bliss Saver Demo only reads the 5 demo paintings from the Bliss Paintings folder into the catalog window. These demo paintings are the only paintings that can be played by the Bliss Saver Demo. The full version of Bliss Saver comes with well over 100 paintings.
• The BlissSaver Demo Manual is a subset of the full on-line manual.
• The Bliss Saver Demo displays an advertisement for Bliss Saver every 4 minutes during screen saving mode. The full version runs as long as you like.
• The full version of Bliss Saver comes with a complete printed manual including a tutorial, menu and window reference, keyboard shortcuts, index.
• The full version of Bliss Saver comes with a color keyboard map reference card. This is very handy for learning and using the color synthesizer.
Addendum to the User Guide
• Bliss Saver has Balloon Help for System 7. Balloon Help is a useful way to learn many of the features of Bliss Saver if you are a first time user. To use it, simply choose Show Balloons in the Help menu at the right end of the menu bar. To shut off Balloon Help, choose Hide Balloons from the Help menu.
• The memory usage of Bliss Saver may be changed in the Get Info window for Bliss Saver in the Finder. You can experiment with different settings to determine what is most appropriate for your system. A low allocation can be around 400K, but this may limit a few of the painting effects. 800-1000K should be enough to let all painting effects work on a 13 inch color monitor.
