Nightfall V1 Screen Saver

[Lamron]

I've been working on a new screen saver with some unusual features.
You can read about it and download it here:

www.lamronsplayground.com/nightfall.html


I designed and tested it in Windows 7, were it works perfectly. However, Windows XP isn't cooperating and won't let it start properly. The program is detecting random mouse movements when there aren't any. If I can fix that, future versions will support XP.

===== TESTER NEEDED ======

Usually, Vista works similarly to Win7, but I don't have a way of testing it. I would appreciate it if someone with Vista could test this for me. After putting the file in your Windows/System32 folder, go to the usual screen saver options window and select "Settings". From there you can click "Preview" to start the screen saver immediately.

This is how it should work:

Click Preview
Mouse dissappears
Screen fade starts
Mouse or keyboard should be able to interupt fade
After fade is done, mouse or keyboard should stop screen saver, unless "Ignore Mouse" is set.
Mouse reappears after fade is interupted or screen saver is stopped.




Please let me know if you find any bugs or have any feature feedback. Once I'm happy everything is working properly, this program will be submitted to www.Download.com.

I think I fixed the XP problem, but let me know if you find any bugs with any of the operating systems.

LOL Does it work on MAC???


HEHEHE just had to sry Red.

[Lamron]

Of course it will! MAC users just have to do a little setup first:

Well, IF my current mac had an Intel chip then I could run Windows, IF I wanted to run Windows and IF I needed Night Fall's strange features.

And anyway, there ain't no way I'm clicking on that link, it probably says something like 1) buy Windows, 2) trash Mac, 3) install Windows on PC machine.

LOL no it doesn't say that.


But the features of the screen saver are nice to have. It is a good build.

Actually, the link says the Mac OS and Win7 both have their good points and uses, and it details how to dual boot both of them on your Mac hardware so you can have the best of both worlds. You are way too suspicious Red.
