In this step, you can set the basic settings of your ScreenSaver.
ScreenSaver Name Enter the name of your ScreenSaver, please.
Icon Click to set your own ScreenSaver Icon with an ico or image file.
It is recommended to select an image file of PNG format with size of 48x48(pixels) and transparency. Other size will be stretched automatically.
When an image file is selected, the image will be converted to icon automatically, and various styles can be selected to render icon in the drop down box.
Once you changed the icon, a button will be shown at the top-right corner when moving your mouse into the icon image. Clicking it will remove the customized icon and reset the icon to the default one.
Description of your ScreenSaver Enter the description of your ScreenSaver, please.
Background To set the background of your ScreenSaver. The ScreenSaver background can be filled with a solid color or an image.
Solid Color If the color option is checked, the background of your ScreenSaver will be filled with a solid color.
Click the small box at the right side of the option "Color" to change the background color, please.
Tiled Image Once this option is checked, a window will be opened to let you select the background image. The color setting is ignored when an image is selected.
Opacity You can make translucid ScreenSaver with !Easy ScreenSaver Station. A translucid ScreenSaver is such a ScreenSaver that has an opacity set so that you can still see what is back through your ScreenSaver while running. Drag the "Opacity" bar to adjust the Opacity, please. (* This feature is not supported by Windows 9x, so you cannot change the opacity on Windows 9x *)
Preview Click the button "Preview" to open a sample window, then you can change the background color, image or the opacity and view what it will be. Click "Preview" again or click the sample window to stop preview.
There are some additional options you can check:
Ignore Mouse Move Event If this option is checked, your ScreenSaver will not terminate when moving the mouse.
Hide Generator If this option is checked, there will be no "Generator" tab in the ScreenSaver config window so that no DDSoft information is shown to your users. (* This option cannot be checked for unregistered users. *)
Show Mouse If this option is checked, the mouse pointer is still be shown during the ScreenSaver running period, or it is hidden. This option is very useful for ScreenSaver that contains Flash movie which requires mouse operation.
Allow Keyboard Shortcuts If this option is checked, you can manually navigate the images/Flash using keyboard during the period of ScreenSaver running. Running-time Keyboard Shortcuts can be found in the topic of "Keyboard Usage".
Note
Drag-and-Drop operation is supported. You can drag an ico or image file from the Windows Explorer and drop it into the New Wizard to set Icon for your ScreenSaver easily.
This is the first step of the New Wizard.
