3aline Screensaver is a 32bit Windows 95 screensaver which 3aline draws colorful, floating 3D shapes around your screen, creating beautiful designs while you are not using your computer.
Recommended minimum: 486 CPU, High Color or True Color. 256 color mode is not recommended.
The settings screens have some sliders which you may use to control the types of drawings 3aline does.
| Speed | The further the slider is to the right, the slower the shapes will be drawn. |
| Minimum Time per Drawing, Maximum Time per Drawing |
Use these to control how long the shapes are drawn before a new sequence is started. |
| How often to change the colors used | When a new drawing is started, the palette of colors used may be changed. Use this slider to control how often the colors change. |
| How many colors to use | If you prefer only a few colors to be used at a time, then have the slider towards the left. |
| How often to clear the screen | If you prefer the screen to be cleared more often so the shapes do not build up and fill the screen, then have the slider towards the right. |
Shapes
These sliders allow you to specify how often particular shapes will be used relative to the others. For example, if you do not like cubes, have its slider all the way to the left. To have more spheres, move its slider to the right.
Symmetry
| None | The slider controls how often a single path of shapes is drawn, without symmetry. |
| Rotation | The shapes are drawn repeatedly aournd a circle. |
| Mirroring | The shapes are mirrored left to right, or top to bottom, or both. The type of mirroring is controlled by other sliders on the screen. |
| Change symmetry style between drawings. | The symmetry style (None, Rotation or Mirroring) is re-selected whenever the screen is cleared. You may also control how often it is altered when the shapes are changed even if the screen isn't cleared, although mixing the different styles may lead to a messier screen. |
