Screen saver utilities can protect your monitors, but if you want the real protection without turning off your monitors, the real dark screen is the best choice. "ScreenScope1.0p" works like a screen saver and a screen poster. "ScreenScope1.0p" covers your screen with the real black color, and a hole in the center of the screen lets you watch stars and galaxies just like using telescopes. The stars and galaxies you will see are the real photos, so you can watch the outer space right at your Mac's screen. Since this is a native PowerPC application, it does not slow down your Power Mac like other screen savers do, and you don't have to manually launch it to activate the screen saver. This application is smart enough to blank your screen if you leave your computer after a period of time.
****** Functions ******
1. You can adjust the idle time before the screen saver activates from 5 minutes to an hour.
2. Hot spot on the screen allows you to turn off screen saver temporarily.
3. You can watch 10 astounding planet and galaxy pictures through the telescope (this unregistered package only includes 4 pictures to save your download time).
4. The name of the planet or galaxy can be shown on the screen if you turn on the Show Name option.
5. "Now" option allows you to activate the screen saver immediately.
****** Installation ******
The installation is very simple, you just make an alias of the file "ScreenScope1.0p" and drag the alias into the "Startup Items" folder inside your "System Folder." When "ScreenScope1.0p" launches, it will hide into the background automatically (this feature "sometimes" does not work with some accelerators, such as DayStar's Turbo 040 and Value 040 series). Everytime you turn on your computer, the "ScreenScope1.0p" will launch itself and hide into the background. This is the method we recommend although you can launch the program manually anytime you want.
### This unregistered version of "ScreenScope 1.0p" will display a shareware notice dialog after the program is launched, you have to press the return/enter key or click the "Continue" button to dismiss the dialog, then "ScreenScope 1.0p" will hide into the background. The registered copy of "ScreenScope 1.0p" will not have this annoying dialog. ###
Please always make sure the files "ScreenScope1.0p," "ScreenScope1.0p Launcher," and "Scope File" are in the same folder (default: "ScreenScope 1.0p Folder").
Do not change the name of any file inside the "ScreenScope1.0p Folder;" otherwise, the files cannot recognize other associated files.
****** Select Options ******
All the options of "ScreenScope1.0p" are accessible from the menu bar. To access "ScreenScope1.0p," select "ScreenScope1.0p" from Finder's Application menu (at the top-right corner of the screen) and switch to the program.
1. File menu: Select "Now" to activate the screen saver immediately.
2. Picture menu: Select the name of the picture you want to display.
3. Time menu: Select the idle time you want before the screen saver activates.
4. For lengthy data transmission or printing job, move the mouse cursor to the top-left corner of the screen to turn off screen saver temporarily.
5. When you restart or shut down your Mac, "ScreenScope 1.0p" will quit itself like other programs do.
