This program displays a selected animation whenever neither the mouse nor the keyboard have been touched for more than a given amount of time, in order to help prevent monitor burn-in.
When run, the program adds an icon to the icon bar. Clicking Menu over this icon results in a menu being displayed containing a Quit entry. Clicking Select over this icon results in a dialogue box being displayed.
The dialogue box consists of a number of areas. On the left, in blue, is the list of possible animations. In the top right is the delay in minutes and seconds. The two sets of arrows step the minutes and seconds up and down.
Below the delay section is the on/off icon, which turns the monitor saver facility on or off. In the on position, the monitor saver will activate whenever neither the mouse nor the keyboard have been touched for more than the specified delay. In the off position, the monitor saver will not activate.
Below this are two action icons marked Demo and Save. Selecting Demo causes the current animation to be displayed immediately, regardless of any delay or whether the monitor saver is off. Selecting Save causes the current settings to be saved in the file !MonitSave.Data so that they become the default settings the next time that the program is run.
At the bottom is an option (on/off) icon titled Password, plus two writeable icons entitled Password and Confirm, which are initially greyed out. Turning the Password option on allows a password to be entered into each of the writeable icons. The password is displayed as a series of asterisks. Providing the two passwords match, the next time that the monitor saver is activated, a password must be entered before it returns to the Desktop.
Finally the loudspeaker icon to the right of the Password option icon cycles the sound volume through the sequence off, quiet, medium, loud. This is used to determine the sound volume for the Puzzle, Bouncy and Clock animations.
