Screensaver
In the above screenshot you can see the screensaver "pipes" running in the background of the desktop. This is just one of many standard screensavers you have on your computer. You can easily switch to some other screensaver like "Starfield",
"Beziers", "Marquee"... More generally speaking, you can pick almost any
screensaver that is able to run in a window (not exclusively fullscreen).
Loading This Preset
DeskoverX ships with several presets of the most common background layouts (see the other screenshots and descriptions on this website). It's
quite easy to load a preset. Here's a short summary of how to load the preset for the above screenshot :
-
Start DeskoverX. Now there's the icon for DeskoverX in the system-tray (the area with the small icons and the clock in the taskbar. You can see it in the lower right corner of the screenshot above ).
-
Click on the DeskoverX icon and a menu appears.
-
The layout selection window appears. At the top left you can see a list of presets. On the right there's a description of the currently highlighted preset. Click on Screensaver. Now that you have selected this preset click the Load button at the bottom of the selection window.
-
Enjoy.
Don't be afraid to change the screensaver! It's as easy as loading a preset:
-
Click on the DeskoverX icon in the system-tray. The menu appears again. You will notice, that there's a new entry in the menu: .
Move the mouse over this new menu entry and a submenu with just one entry appears:
Click on this.
-
A new window opens with two textboxes, a preview area and some buttons. The first textbox is Name. Here
you can type in any name you want or simply leave it the way it is. The second box is a dropdown box which let's you
choose the screensaver you want to run. To the right of it is a button Settings. Click it to
configure the screensaver you have chosen. The preview area displays a small version of the currently selected screensaver. If it shows some movement, this screensaver can run in a window. Go on, you can run it with DeskoverX. If it only displays a static image, then you can't run this screensaver with DeskoverX.
-
If you changed something, you need to apply or discard the changes you made. Click on the corresponding button at the
bottom of the window.
