New in this release: Typo corrected, documentation modified, and improved screen saver engine.
God has created a lot of gorgeous things in this world, and sunsets would have to rate in the Top 5. So, this freeware 32-bit screen saver cycles 20 photographs of some of the Lord's "best work." Each photo is accompanied by a Bible verse.
Several options are available, including setting the duration between images, using up to 23 special transition effects, showing the images full screen or original size, and Microsoft Plus! support. This screen saver will look best in "high color" (16-bit) or "true color" (24-bit) video modes.
To install, click on Setup.exe. The screen saver can be uninstalled at any time from the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs module.
OPTIONAL SETTINGS:
The optional settings for this screen saver may be accessed through the following steps:
1. Right-click on your desktop.
2. Choose the "Properties" menu item.
3. Select the "Screen Saver" tab.
4. Click on the Settings button.
Images: You can change the time each image appears on screen as well as the size of each image -- original size, or full-screen. This screen saver will probably look best full-screen.
Captions: You can change the position of captions and the font they use. This screen saver looks best with the captions turned off.
Transitions: You may choose various transition effects between images. By default, all transitions are selected, but you may deselect one or more transition types. Using more than one transition will cause the transitions to be displayed randomly.
Always Dither to Standard Palette: When this box is checked, the colors in each screen will not flash if your computer is in 256-color mode. This option is unchecked by default.
Plus!: If Microsoft Plus! System Agent is running on your computer, you can begin your screen saver immediately (or prevent it from displaying at all) by moving your mouse pointer to a predetermined corner of your screen.
Readme: This page contains further information about your screen saver.
About: This page tells you who created the screen saver.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If your monitor/video card combination has a maximum setting of 256 colors, the colors in the screen saver may flash and create a posterized effect during transitions. You can eliminate this effect by checking the "Always Dither to Standard Palette" box in the optional settings. However, this may cause the screen shots to appear grainy.
For this reason, it's recommended that you use this screen saver with a monitor/video card capable of employing at least 16-bit color.
You can set your system to 16-bit color by taking the following steps:
1. Right-click on your desktop and choose the "Properties" menu item.
2. Choose the "Settings" Tab.
3. Under "Colors," select "High Color (16 bit)" or "True Color (24 bit.)"
I hope you enjoy this monitor protector. Feel free to pass it along to anyone who you think might enjoy it. No limitations are placed on its distribution, except that it may not be sold without my expressed written permission.
