Internet ScreenSaver Builder 5.15

Internet ScreenSaver Builder Concept
People love screen savers, but they also like to change them. It is logical, even the best looking screen saver will become boring over time. So what will users do once your screen saver becomes old news? They will search for a new one to download and thats might easily end up being someone elses creation. However, what if you could change your screen saver or even make a completely new one and it updates automatically? Wouldnt that be a great thing? Internet ScreenSaver Builder makes all that possible. You can create a screen saver that will periodically check its web location for changes and update automatically if necessary. Read on to get this concept explained in detail through a little life story of an internet screen saver.
I - Creation
Create initial screen saver. Internet ScreenSaver Builder lets you combine text, images (.JPG, .BMP) and multimedia (.WAV, .AVI , .MP3 ). You can use it through a wizard and/or simple yet effective command language. There are 73 image transition effects to play with, command for moving images and text across the screen, random coordinates, letter-by-letter effect for showing text.
Finalize screen saver project using Make dialog. You will get a series of files as a result, ready for distribution and upload to screen savers web location.
II - Distribution
Distribute screen savers .SCR file to end users in a usual way; place it on your web site for download, put it on a CD... Upload files that were created for the web to screen savers web location.
III - Execution
Screen saver works on end users computer. From time to time, according to the interval you have set in Make dialog, it will try to check its web location for changes. (new images, changes in scenario, completely new screen saver...)
If changes are detected screen saver automatically starts downloading new scenario and/or component files. Of course, it needs an Internet connection to do the job and it will do it in as many sessions as necessary. Download takes place during screen saver execution while end user is looking at the previous version and her computer is idle.
IV - A New Beginning
This is the best part and it happens whenever you want it. Make changes to your screen saver or even create a completely new one to replace it. Upload new version files to the original web location. That is all. Screen saver already existing on end users computer takes over from here, detects changes, downloads necessary component files and restarts automatically as a new version.
