- Long Description:
- -----------------
-
- Mystic Pixels is a "kinder, gentler" Windows screen saver that
- slowly manipulates pixels on the screen. It runs in one of ten
- different modes that either move, recolor, or erase pixels on the
- screen. You can pick a mode or allow Mystic Pixels to randomly
- pick one each time it starts.
-
- Some modes eventually fade the screen to black. These are:
- "Black Hole" - a black hole in the center of the screen slowly
- expands as remaining pixels swirl around the screen
- "Fade to Symmetry" - symmetry is randomly enforced as the screen
- slowly fades to black
- "Random Black Out" - random pixels are blacked out
- "Random Wash Out" - random pixels are reduced in intensity until
- the screen is black
- "Smear Right" - random rows are moved one location to the right
- until all disappear off the right side of the screen
-
- The other modes move or recolor pixels on the screen:
- "Color Shift" - systematically changes the colors of pixels while
- preserving what was on the screen
- "Flip Screen" - flips pixels on the screen top to bottom and then
- left to right and then starts over
- "Random Discolor" - randomly changes the color of random pixels
- (eventually creating the visual equivalent of "white noise")
- "Rising Stripes" - stripes of random colors move up from the
- bottom of the screen
- "Slide Screen" - shifts alternate rows of pixels to the left and
- right

- Registration Information:
- -------------------------
-
- Registration licenses the continued use of Mystic Pixels free
- from a guilty conscience.
