ICON COMMAND	DESCRIPTION	SHORTCUTS
	Defines image or text. For text you can set attributes like font, size, color, or make it have transparent background. Additionally, you can define text to be shown at once or letter by letter at any speed. With Desktop option button you can instruct your screen saver to remember desktop screen (as seen just before screen saver starts running) as image to be used later in screen saver itself. With Wallpaper option button you can instruct your screen saver to take current wallpaper image from a desktop of a target computer at runtime and use it later in screen saver itself.
	Shows image or text. Choose image or text from a list and set x,y coordinates of upper left corner of image or text. List contains images/texts defined with Image command. With New image button you can call Image command without leaving Show command. Under Position option button you can choose between exact coordinates, center, or random position for showing image/text on screen. You can choose one of many available effects for showing an image. Tile and Stretch are full screen size effects so when you choose one of them all other options in this dialog become unavailable. The rest are image size transition effects, 61 in total to choose from, with special possibility to set random transition effect. Use Pause slider to fine tune transition speed. We could classify transition effects in following 17 types: fade from black, dissolve/squares, box, cross, blinds, random bars, alternate bands, checkerboard, zig-zag, cover, uncover, wipe, shift, split, split scroll, strips, diagonal split. If Restore after hide option is checked, eventual later Hide command for that image/text will restore background image to state before using Show command.
	Moves image/text from one place to another at any speed. Show command is not needed before Move command. Under Position option button you can define start and end coordinates for a trajectory at exact, center, or random positions. If Keep while moving option is checked, image/text being moved will just "float" above background keeping it intact in the moving process. If Restore after hide option is checked, eventual later Hide command for that image/text will restore background image to state before using Move command.
	Hides image/text you select from the list. Restores background to state prior to Show or Move commands if Restore after hide option was checked in those commands.
	Defines pause before screen saver continues to run.
	Clears screen. You can define background color for that cleared screen.
	Marks the beginning of the commands sequence that you want to be repeated.
	Defines end of the commands sequence that you want to be repeated from 1 to loop times. You can define how many times you want that sequence to be repeated, or set an infinite loop.
	Draws a line between two coordinates. You can define exact coordinates (or make them random), color and style (solid, dot, dash etc.) This simple command can be used for various interesting effects.
	Defines media file to be included in screen saver. Active ScreenSaver Builder supports wav and avi media file types.
	Plays previously defined media file. If necessary, screen saver execution can be stopped temporarily while media file is being played once or several times. Find Wait/No wait, Repeat and Position controls under the Settings button.
	Stops playing selected media file.
	Inserts a line with your comment. Very important command. Use it to mark different parts of your screen saver.
	All commands have optional comment that will be shown immediately after command name in ssd file.
