USER INSTRUCTIONS: EARLY BICYCLES - WINDOWS SCREEN SAVER If you chose the screen option when installing EARLY BICYCLES, your screen saver program has been installed into the Windows Desktop of the Control Panel. BE CERTAIN YOUR MONITOR IS SET TO 256 COLOR PALETTE. If you have an old generic VGA monitor which can only display 16 colors, I'm afraid these images will look terrible. Sorry. 1) Accessing your screen saver is easy and requires only three steps: a) Double Click on the Control Panel b) Open the Desktop Item c) Select your screen saver from the list of screen savers. EARLY BICYCLES appears in the list of screen savers as MINICAT NOT EARLY BICYCLES. (I'll that explain shortly.) If you click on Setup, you will be presented with a dialog with which you can customize EARLY BICYCLES as a screen saver. 2) Customizing the EARLY BICYCLES Screen Saver with Setup. a) The 'Effect' list gives you a choice of two special effects that can be applied to the display. b) Delay allows you change the number of seconds each image is displayed. Or you can enable 'Random' and thereby give control over this variable to the computer. c) 'Effect Size' changes the 'grain' of the dissolves between images. The smaller the 'Effect Size', the longer to it takes images to appear on screen. d) Enable 'Show Titles' will cause the title given to each image to appear at the bottom of the screen when it is displayed. e) You can also 'Password Protect', the EARLY BICYCLES screen saver if you wish. 3) Why the strange terminology? What do MINICAT and CATALOG mean? EARLY BICYCLES is a publication in a long series of visionary art and historic transportation photo album/screen savers to be released by Reality Software. The entire collection is called a Mini-Catalog (MINICAT) and each product within MINICAT is a CATALOG. If you buy other publications in this series AND choose to install each as a Windows screen saver, then the title of each will appear in the drop down CATALOG list at the top of the Setup dialog which is accessed from the Desktop item of the Control Panel when you choose MINICAT as your screen saver. See the manual in the EARLY BICYCLES album for further explanation of these terms and their structural use. WINDOW'S BASICS I.
