Active ScreenSaver Builder v4.2
===============================
by XemiComputers Ltd.

Description : This screensaver maker allows you to combine 
images, text and multimedia. It offers three user interfaces 
with different complexity: one-step screensaver solution, 
wizard interface and simple yet effective command language. 
To use one-step screensaver you just have to select some 
folder with images, choose a template and program will do 
the rest. There are 84 image transition effects to play with, 
command for moving images and text across the screen, random 
coordinates, letter-by-letter effect for showing text. You 
can also resize an image to a custom size or stretch it to 
full screen size. Screensaver becomes web enabled when you 
use the option to assign a hotkey that automatically opens 
web browser with selected url when user presses it to exit 
screensaver. Program can produce installer EXE file for 
installing and uninstalling a screensaver. Supported media 
file formats are: WAV, AVI and MP3. You can also choose an 
icon for a screensaver file. 

One-Step Screen Saver : How about making a screen saver with 
just one click of a button? Active ScreenSaver Builder makes 
that possible with new option called One-Step Screen Saver. 
All you have to do is select a folder with images you want to 
include in your screen saver, choose one of ten available 
screen saver templates, type in screen saver file name and 
click Make Screen Saver. Active ScreenSaver Builder will take 
all images from that folder, sort them alphabetically and use 
chosen template to create standard screen saver .scr file, 
installer .exe file, screen saver definition .ssd file, all 
in the folder with the same name as the screen saver. Once all 
files are created you will get the oportunity to go straight 
to their folder and try your screen saver. 

Active URL monitoring (jump from a screen saver to a web page 
directly) : Make your screen savers interactive! Now you can 
use a brand new URL command to set a web page URL and choose 
a hotkey so if user presses that hotkey during screen saver 
execution it will not only stop running but also automatically 
open default browser with designated web page. There is obviously 
a huge marketing potential in this new feature. Load and try 
SetURLExample.ssd from program's main working folder to see 
an example.


Transition effects : Active ScreenSaver Builder offers 84 
transition effects of following 24 types: fade, dissolve/squares, 
box, cross, blinds, random bars, alternate bands, checkerboard, 
zig-zag,  cover, uncover, wipe, shift, split, split scroll, strips, 
diagonal split, snake wipe, snake shift, snake spiral, crossed, 
boxed, triangle, roll.

Special enhancement to transition effects system is so 
called random effect option that gives you the opportunity 
to bring some randomness to your screen savers. Power any 
show command with random effect option and it will use 
different transition effect each time it executes resulting 
in a more interesting and somewhat unpredictable screen saver.
