Apple Comupter included a nice feature into their system software: If you have a file named “StartupScreen” containing a picture in your system folder, the system automatically displays this picture at system startup.
The only problem is, it´s always the same. And that is somewhat boring after a while. And most people (including and especially me) don´t like to have to juggle with dozens of files all called “StartupSceeen”, swapping them all the time to relieve the monotony.
So I wrote ScreenMan to do this job automatically. ScreenMan holds all of your startup screens in one single file (guess which … right, “StartupScreen”) and randomly selects one to show at next startup.
You can import pictures from ANY file containing some, delete pictures you got tired of (or you are not interrested in in the first place), switch pictures on and off without discarding them and assign weights to individual pictures so that your favorites come up more often.
Explaining how to do this is the job of (most of) the rest of this documentation.
