- Format: screensaver [FROM] [EDIT|USE|SAVE] [PUBSCREEN]
-
- Template: FROM,EDIT/S,USE/S,SAVE/S,PUBSCREEN/K
-
- Purpose: Edits or use a shadowmaster preferences file.
- Screensaver allows the user to change the configuration
- of a currently running ShadowMaster, or the starting
- configuration for shadowmaster. The command line
- arguments or tooltypes given to Shadowmaster can
- override the selected starting configuration.
-
- Specification: If FROM is specified, that is the file that any
- action is to be taken against. Otherwise,
- env:shadowmaster/shadowmaster.prefs is used. The action
- is specified as one of EDIT, USE or SAVE, with EDIT
- being the default. EDIT opens the editor window after
- loading the FROM file. USE changes the configuration
- of a running ShadowMaster, or any ShadowMaster run
- until the system is rebooted. SAVE does the same thing
- as USE, and also changes the configuration for any
- ShadowMaster run after the system is rebooted. If USE
- or SAVE are specified, the editor window is not opened.
- If present, PUBSCREEN is the name of a public screen
- that the editor window should open on.
-
- Standard Menus: The following menus should be part of every ShadowMaster
- preferences editor:
-
- Projects>Open: Use the system file requester to load a preferences
- file. Keyboard shortcut is Amiga-O.
- Projects>Save: Use the system file requester to select a file to save
- the current configuration in. Keyboard shortcut is
- Amiga-A.
- Projects>Quit: Exit immediately, with no changes for this preferences
- file.
- Edit>Reset: Resets the configuration to the default mode.
- Edit>Last: Reloads the last saved configuration.
- Edit>Restore: Reloads the initial configuration specifed by the FROM file.
- Edit>Undo: Undoes the last change made in the editor. Note that
- some changes - particularly string and number gadgets
- - may be visible in the edit window without the editor being
- aware of them. These will not undo as expected. This
- is a system limitation, and can be avoided by always
- hitting return to finish a text or number entry gadget.
- Options>Create: A checkmark entry that causes icons to be created when
- a file is saved. Note: The Save and Use gadgets cause
- files to be saved in envarc: and env:; these files
- will also have - or not have - icons saved depending
- on the state of this menu entry. The icon is copied
- from env:shadowmaster/shadowmaster.info. IconEdit can
- be used to tailor this icon to your tastes.
-
- Standard Gadgets:
- The following gadgets and menu entries should be part of
- every ShadowMaster preferences editor, though the
- meaning may change slightly for some of them.
-
- Command: String gadget containing the command to run to blank the
- screen.
- Select: Open a scrolling list of all saver modules, from which
- the module to be run is selected.
- Config: Runs the configuration program for the currently selected
- saver module.
- Test: Cause ShadowMaster to run the currently selected saver
- module. ShadowMaster must be running for this button
- to work.
- Cancel: Exits the configuration program, making no changes.
- Use: Use the current configuration until the system is
- rebooted. Note that command line arguments and
- TOOLTYPES can override this the next time ShadowMaster
- is started, though the currently running copy will use
- the current configuration.
- Save: Use the current configuration until and after the
- system is rebooted.
-
-
- NonStandard Gadget:
- In addition to all the above, screensaver has a
- Seconds gadget for entering a number. This is the
- how long ShadowMaster waits after that last keyboard
- or mouse activity before blanking the screen.
