TREK1.DSS - 20th June 1993
=========================
'Star Trek 1' is a Desktop Screen Saver Extension for John Ridges' DeskPic.
The screen saver presents a scene from an imaginary Star Trek episode where the
Enterprise is cruising through space, occasionally accelerating to Warp speed.
For the best effect, focus on the centre of the Enterprise. The stars in the
background give the optical illusion that the ship is coming towards you.
The configuration dialog box has three settings in addition to the usual
enabled check box.
The 'Enterprise' check box gives the option of turning off the display of the
Enterprise. With the box checked and the Enterprise displayed, the screen saver
is not a true screen saver as the Enterprise remains static, but who cares.
The 'Shrinking Stars' check box enables the stars to change size as they get
further away. Why have an option that does this ? Well, personally, I prefer
the stars to stay the same size as they move. All my work colleagues however,
complained about that so I compromised.
The 'How many' edit field simply relates to the number of stars on the screen
at any one time.
I'm sorry its taken so long to finalise this saver. I am a Windows and Netware
developer by trade and an OS/2 developer by hobby and desire. My screen saver
development time is limited therefore to those rare moments of free time at
home.
If you find a problem with Star Trek 1, please let me know.
If you like it, let me know.
If you don't like it, let me know.
I have a load more screen savers nearing completion. If you have
a good idea for a new one, let me know and I'll write it for you.
