Cinema Savers v1.2 - For Windows!
─────────────────────────────────
By Brandyware Software
This one should have all the files!
About Cinema Savers ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
──────────────────── For.. Win31, WFWG, or Win95
Ok, now that you've downloaded all those (AVI Movies, WAV-MID Sound files,
FLI-FLC Animations, & BMP-GIF-PCX-TGA Graphic files), what DO YOU DO with
them? This is the answer! Select all you want, and turn them into screen
savers! Yup! Leave them right where they are. Add them to the list, and
you're in business!
You can show just Movies, or Just Graphic pictures, or Animations, or
just Sounds.. or.. you can combine them or mix them up! Up to 150
different types at one time.
* Add a Calendar, Clock, Scrolling Text, or Logo & Picture.
* Set the FONT size, color, and type.
* Place a border on the Movies.
* Use old style screen savers.
* Lots of different ways to customize it!
How!! ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
──────
Windows95
---------
After the SETUP is finished, click on START, then SETTINGS.
Then click on DISPLAY, then SCREEN SAVER. Scroll the list until you see
CINEMA SAVERS. Make it active by hi-lighting it. Now click on SETTINGS
in the same SCREEN SAVER window to set your options!
Now click on APPLY and OK. Done!
Windows 3.1
-----------
Simple, after the SETUP is finished, go to the CONTROL PANEL and click on
DESKTOP. You'll see the option SCREEN SAVERS, scroll the list until you
see CINEMA SAVERS, click on it to make it active. Next to this option are
two buttons (1. TEST 2. SETUP), click on SETUP. This will load the
Cinema Savers setup program with all the options for viewing all your
graphics, animations, sounds, & AVI movies. Simply select the files you
want to use as CINEMA SAVERS then click on SAVE LIST. That's it!
The next time the screen saver is invoked, CINEMA SAVERS will load all
the files you just selected and run them at RANDOM.
Play around with the different formats to see what works best on your
system. On FAST systems.. running everything at the same time works
quite well. But on the slower systems, you might not want to have options
like [Sound Always On] while TEXT, CLOCK, and MOVIES are running.
Formats ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
───────
List of formats supported.
PCX, GIF, TGA, BMP, AVI, MMM, WAV, MID, FLI, FLC
Options ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
───────
These are pretty self explanatory.. just play around with them until you
get it the way you want!
FLI's ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
──────
Some of the FLI's & FLC's don't work to well in the windowed option.
Sometimes you can't see what's playing because it's in the wrong spot
in the window.
You might want to set this for FULL SCREEN (default).
Logo's ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
───────
The length depends on the size of FONT you select!
This applies to TEXT as well!
The picture box for your logo picture is very small.. if you'd like a
bigger one, let us know!
The only two formats for a LOGO are: BMP & ICO.
Another way to display your LOGO is to create it using Paintbrush and
only select it for the Cinema Savers (Use move around).
Super Secret Special Security Code! ├─────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────────────────────────
By entering this code, you can invoke ALL the options in CINEMA SAVERS.
*** The Super Secret Special Security Code is: Open Sesame
Type this in at the right place to activate all the options.
This will ONLY work ONE time EACH time!
But, it still allows you to evaluate ALL the options EXCEPT PASSWORD.
Even though your copy is Shareware, all the options are saved to
the CONTROL.INI file for later Open Sesame's or Registration.
Thank you for trying Cinema Savers!
Requires: Windows, VGA, & a Porsche!
