Tri Point 1.0 is a simple little screen saver that is a application. Tri Point is a free and low memory using alternative to those expensive and large commercial screen savers. There is no fee for Tri Point (and no annoying "register" dialog like in Version 0.1!), you can simply send any comments/suggestions to this e-mail address:
jdc@mail.atcon.com
Why not send me a good joke or two while you are at it!
When you're sending me an e-mail please set the topic to "Tri Point 1.0" or something like that, this would just help me keep track of my e-mail!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Tri Point is very easy to use. Start Tri Point 1.0 by double-clicking the application icon that says "Tri Point 1.0". After that, you will see a splash screen (so wear your bathing suit!). Click the mouse anywhere in the splash screen window to bring up an options dialog. If you don't click the mouse Tri Point 1.0 will run automatically after 5 seconds, loading your previous settings (unless it is your first time running the program). The options dialog allows you to change the settings of Tri Point 1.0. It is very straight forward and self-explainitory. Just click on the different buttons under each heading to change the different settings of Tri Point 1.0.
Click "OK" to run Tri Point 1.0 and to automatically save your settings. If you have to quit for whatever reason, simply click the "Quit" button that appears in the options dialog. Click "Radomize Colour & Speed" to have Tri Point 1.0 randomly pick the colour and speed settings. the Randomize option is good if you want variety in your settings (you need a life if you call that variety!) or if you, for whatever reason (heaven forebid!) can't decide what setting to choose (hate to be with you when you are choosing a car!). Once Tri Point 1.0 is running just click the mouse, or depending on your settings, move the mouse or press any key to quit the program. Hope the little blurb which I call "Instructions" didn't confuse you!
THINGS TO DO:
- Add support for you lucky folks who are using the "Control Strip", thanks to those users who told me about this problem! I'll see what I can do in the next version, for now hold tight! If any of you programmers can tell me how to hide the "Control Strip", please send me info!
- More settings, any ideas?
