Dynamic options/Browser launch
Firstly, you don't need to use Control Panel to start the saver on
demand. Setup conveniently created a shortcut on your desktop to do this.
Note that tells Windows to start the current default saver - which might
not be this one.
The Jag-lovers Screen Saver allows you to carry out a number of options
while it is actually running! To find out what they are (there may be more
options if this User Guide is not current), hit F1
while the Saver is running. You'll see this window appear - the saver will
not update while it stays visible
Note that all these options involve pressing keys. Make sure you select
the correct key - if you hit an unsupported key, the saver will end abruptly
since that's what it thinks you want to do! These options only work
from the Saver window itself - not from the above window!
F5 and F8 are self-explanatory. Be careful when exiting
after using F8 or you may inadvertantly stop the saver and have to wait
for it to start again....
Browser launch
Windows can launch your default browser given a URL to send it to.
F9 - F12 will start the browser and, using a redirect html file (you'll
see this appear initially), point it at the stated URL. However, this will
only work if:
-
your PC knows what the default browser is!
-
your browser is Javascript enabled
No default browser?
If you see an error message saying 'Unable to launch default browser'
then you need to consult your browser on-line help or documentation to
find out how to set it as a default - this may involve fiddling with the
Registry. Please do not ask Jag-lovers - the chances are we won't know
for your browser and so won't reply. Rumour has it that the latest version
of Netscape has dropped defining a default browser.....
With F12, you can define your own URL. Change it to suit
what you want and the Saver will remember this whenever you use F12.
