The "Early Edition" Screen Saver is finally finished!!! Feel free to download it on one simple condition -- that you sign my guest book! Email me any suggestions/problems. If you try it out and like it, sign my guestbook again. :-) The screensaver requires a monitor resolution of at least 800 x 600. I recommend 16 bit colour - but 256 colours will work but some pictures may not look too crash hot.
The screen saver displays the following on the show:
You have the option of turning off/on any of the above. Each contains some text info and a slide show.
Some people have told me that they are having a LOT of trouble downloading the screensaver zip file from Geocities. So I have put it on FortuneCity as well. If you are having trouble, give this a try instead!
You can customise what is shown in the screen saver by going to "Settings", where you can adjust which of the ones you want to see and the speed of the scrolling text.
Thanks for all the great web sites where I got all the pics and info from! Especially "The Sun-Times Vault" and "Kyle Chandler" homepages. All the written materials comes from the awesome Sony Website and of course they have the copyrights to everything. And special thanks to Andrea (aka. Ginger) who provided me with some additional pictures from aol which I don't have access to.
I've tried to add a preview to the little monitor picture on the configure dialogue box. It doesn't work all that well because it tries to show the entire screen in that little black box. Sorry, not something easily fixed and I am not going to bother.
I've written the screen saver using Borland C++Builder, which a few screen saver components downloaded from Lucian Wischik.
I have tested the screensaver on 3 different machines. I've tested it as thoroughly as I could. But as with all software, it can't be made bug free so I bear no resposibilitites for any losses, afterall I am not making any money here.
But apart from that - Enjoy!
