Merry Christmas everyone...
I've created a SKIN, so to speak, for use with the old Strip Bar Screen Saver.
Please note: this uses the Already Installed Totem ScreenSavers.
If you Can't play The ScreenSavers, this won't fix or change that. Sorry...
But If you Can play the ScreenSavers, then this is something you might want to get and try.
Two sample video's of my VG Xmas screen saver
My Site is not Designed for Streaming of Video.
So when the web page is displayed.right click a Blank area below the video, on the Page, and Save / Download and watch them.
www.deskbabes.net/xmas2013/xmas-swing.mp4
www.deskbabes.net/xmas2013/xmas-tree.mp4The zip with all the screen saver goodies in it.
www.deskbabes.net/xmas2013/merry-xmas2013.zipwhat's in it..
backgrounds, overlays, colored lights, music file, a favorite list for my player
a registry file so you can enable the screen saver
a read me file.
The Basics:Download the Zip.
Copy it to your Data\Backgrounds folder
Unzip it in the same folder - Yes, Overwrite the existing files ( it has a backup of them )
In the GUI, screen savers tab, uncheck all of the screensavers.
You have to Enable the Old Screen Saver.In the Data Folder doubleclick on the file names xmas2013.reg
allow it to write the changes to the registry. (It enables the Screensaver)
If you Want to hear the Music, ***** and Drop the Music File on to the GUI's music list.
I have a FavoriteList File so you can Load it into my player.
Copy it to the Data\playlist folder.
Then Open it with my player...
These are ALL of the XMAS CARD clips I tested and know work...
( you do need to have all the cards, or remove the clips that are from cards you don't own )
There is also a Filter File. Open it, Copy the Entire Line. Then Paste it in the My Collection Search Box.
It filters and displays all of the VG Xmas cards, 8 of them...
There is a readme-xmas2013.txt file Double click to open and read it.
Known Issues:Does not Support 1080p size clips. please play only 720p clips.
Screen Savers were not designed for Swing Clips - but some will work..
The StripBar Screensaver was not designed to work with all of the TaskBar Clips, Ones where part of the Models body, goes Below the Top of the Task bar.
(Example: Sitting with Her Legs Over and In front of the Task bar.)
Or an Item or piece of clothing is dropped in front of the task bar.
The Technical part of it:
The Top of the Taskbar is the Zero line where the clip is positioned.
Above the Taskbar is Plus, and Below the Taskbar is Minus.
Each Clip is encoded with it's Max and Min size. ( the invisible BOX that fits around the entire Clip. ) If the Min value of that BOX is Negative, (below the taskBar)
then the ScreenSaver will NOT display the Animation file. and you get a Black Screen.
If you Have the Music option turned on, you will also Hear the Music play.
The Screen Saver doesn't have a Taskbar, so that type of Clip has No place to be displayed.
I believe this is one reason why Totem removed it, since many clips caused a blank Black Screen.
Members who have access to the List of Clips feature, can UnCheck these types of clips, and the Screen saver will work fine.
This is my Favorite Screen Save, the Strip Bar.
I watch most of my VG clips using this screen saver, and a custom Skin of sorts.
