To use the screen saver, you must take two steps: select and save the images you wish to use, and configure the screen saver settings.

Selecting and Saving Images
Select the images you wish to use by highlighting them in the File List. You can use as many or as few images as you wish.

Once you have selected the images, open the Screen Saver Preferences (as explained above) and press the button marked 'Save Selected Images'. This will apply the selected images to your screen saver. If you do not take this step, your screen saver WILL NOT work.

Configuration Settings
After your images are saved, you can set the other settings found in the Screen Saver Preferences.

Timing and Delay - The first entries in the settings are for the delay (in minutes) before the screen saver becomes active, and the delay (in seconds) between images once it's running.

Random Order - Checking these boxes will cause the images to show in random order. Otherwise they will appear in the same order as in the File List.

Image Cells Across / Down - These options control how many images are shown on the screen at once. By default, these are set to one. Displaying more will create a Maxi-Show effect.

<#if win> Pause Between Sounds - This value (in seconds) will be the amount of time between sounds played in the screen saver. <#endif>

Once you have set your options, click the 'Exit' button. Your screen saver is now active.
