This is a simple screen saver, which display sequentially all pictures in a directory
(bitmaps, metafiles, GIF’s, JPEG’s, PNG’s). The default directory is the directory of the
screen saver, but you can change it.
Some problems there are still with that screen saver:
- The "Configure"-button in the "Screen saver"-property sheet does not
work correctly. To configure you must call the .scr file directly without parameters (or
right click in explorer and choose "Configure"). - The screen saver is not able to display other graphics like PCX, TIFF and so on.
- Win95 could crash when trying to display bitmaps with too high resolution, WinNT has no
problem there.
If anybody knows how to fix the problems please send me a mail, so that everybody can
benefit from it.
Thanks Oliver Reuther for the idea, Alejandro
Auilar Sierra for the CImage-class, Robert Caldecott
for his Metafile class and Zafir Anjum for some bitmap
related routines.
When you have some nice pictures like Error-MessageBoxes or Warnings, please feel free to
send me these pictures as e-mail. I will include them in my project (by adding a
copyright-notice of the author), and you will get newest versions of the screen saver per
e-mail.
