Grayscale - If you wish to see the photos in grayscale rather than color select this option.  This can give a better looking photo on a 16 color system.


Timer Controls

Use the up and down arrow controls to increase or decrease the values in the timer controls.

Blanker Delay in Minutes - This sets the countdown time.  If no keyboard input and no mouse movement occur for this period of time the screen saver will be started.

Note: If a DOS windows is the current active application the screen saver will not be started.  This is due to the fact that Windows can not report when input is occuring in the DOS window.

If enabled, when the screen is blanked moving the mouse or pressing any key will bring up the Password Entry dialog box.  The proper password must be entered now in order to return to the Windows screen.  The only other way to return to the system would be to reboot. The password is stored in the win.ini file and readable in the Password Control dialog so it is excessable until the Windows screen is blanked.

Wallpaper - The Display Options and Display Color settings will be used to determine an image to reference.  This image will then be written in .BMP format to a file called toonsavr.bmp in the windows directory.  Your Windows setting for desktop wallpaper will be adjusted so that this image is now your wallpaper.
