- BKG Windows background fader
- ==============================
-
- This program is for Windows users who have limited memory and/or
- think faded colors look nice as a background. This program will
- display a color fade as your Windows background. A color fade means
- that the color gradually changes from one side to another in a smooth
- fashion. This App. has the advantage over wallpaper of needing very
- little memory.
-
- Once you run the program, the starting/ending colors and the fade
- direction can be set from a dialog box. The dialog box is brought
- up by clicking on the background with the RIGHT mouse button. Setting
- RGB values for the colors is done with scroll bars and/or mini edit boxes.
- The fade style (Vertical, Horizontal, Vertical Center, Horizontal center)
- is set via a combo box. The dialog box also has options to save the color
- or exit the program.
-
- Before running BKG, make sure you set your wallpaper to NONE. If you
- don't everything will work OK but the wallpaper will still be taking up
- whatever memory it needs for the bitmap.
-
- If you use other programs which are invoked by clicking the right mouse
- button on the background (BackMenu for example), you can disable the mouse
- for this program by adding the line UseMouse=No to the [BKG] section of
- your Win.Ini file. Note that if you do this you will need to edit Win.Ini
- to change colors in the future as you will have no way of getting to the
- dialog box.
-
- Feel free to copy, distribute, fold, spindle and mutilate this program
- as you like, BUT... I hereby claim no responsibility whatsoever for any
- reason for anything... ever. Go GATORS!
