- How to use Savervisor:
-
- - There are at least three ways to use it:
- 1). Always running and INVISIBLE. You can set its running
- mode into INVISIBLE and put it into Startup group of
- Windows Program Manager so that Savervisor is launched
- automatically when you start your Windows. In this way,
- Savervisor will work in background - You will never see
- it while it is working for you: carrying out all the tasks
- according to you Saver schedule and Wallpaper
- schedule, launching savers instantly when you click the
- RIGHT mouse button at the area you specify.
-
-
- 2). Always running but visible. In this way, you can access
- setup screen of Savervisor by a double click at its
- running icon#. For easy access, you can set it ALWAYS ON TOP.
- 3). Use it to setup you wall paper or select a screen saver
- and turn it off after setup.
-
- - After Launching Savervisor from Program Manager, You will see
- an animation icon at the top left corner of your screen if
- it is set to visible mode. Note: But you will see nothing
- if it is set to INVISIBLE mode. In this case, You can
- launch Savervisor one more time if you like to bring up
- its setup screen in order to turn it into visible mode or
- change setting of Savervisor. After you launch it second
- time, the running icon will appear so that you can double
- click at it to bring up the setup screen.
