Screensaver Installer

Miscellaneous Forums/Blitz Showcase/Screensaver Installer

Hi Panno. It may be jerky on a certain generation of hardware, that's where it renders sometimes with 60 and sometimes with 30 frames, depending on what's onscreen, and probably affected by system background processes. I'm pretty sure this will run with 60 Hz smoothly with a middle end graphics card.

After space you should see some prompts to enter a new password and two buttons. There should be text! You don't see no text? HOw comes X_X Are you sure? Maybe it's the brightness of your monitor? The font is Arial, I think you've got that one installed. It should look like this:

Altes Passwort
Neues Passwort
Neues Passwort nochmal
FERTIG
ABBRUCH

BTW ok yes the intro is poor, but it's only a crossfading that is also used to loop the animation, so, no big deal. It's a little party, so it may be a little screensaver :o)

I added the showwindow hwnd,5 api call and patched the exe, so it will start invisibly.

And I remeber somebody said screensavers will be restarted periodicly on win98. I didn't believe this, but now it seems there's indeed some kind of uncontrolled multiplication of instances.

So I added a little mutex function, works this way:

gathering my class name$
use FindWindow with classname and my app title (not set yet, of course)
if it returns zero, I'm the first instance, otherwise end even before Showwindow
