NameSaver
 2002 Remco de Korte / Onwijs 

version 1.0

Short Info
----------

NameSaver is based on the EuroSaver code.
Instead of the new currency of the EC it 
displays names waving over your desktop.
It was made as a present for a group of
children, with their names as default.
(I have changed that default list.)

Instead of names you can also enter other
types of text, like quotes or short jokes.

NameSaver will run on Windows 95, 98, NT, 
Me, 2000 and XP.

NameSaver.exe will install the screensaver
to a directory of your choice. Run this
program again to uninstall the saver.


Options
-------

Names:
  you can edit the list of names.
  Put each name on a separate line.
  You can also use other kind of text but
  the text will be displayed line by
  line so if, for instance, you want to
  use quotes you'll have to put each
  quote on one single line

Number:
  indicates the number of names that
  will be shown at the same time.

Subscript:
  is a single line of text that will be
  displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Background:
  you can choose to have your desktop as 
  background or hide it and have the saver 
  run against a black background or a blue
  sky. You can also use an image of your
  choice.

Shadow: 
  adds a dropshadow to the names.
  (doesn't work with a black background)

Highlight:
  gives the names their own shadow and 
  highlight.

Font:
  pick the font you want the text to be
  displayed in. You can choose the style
  as well, but the size is determined
  in a different way.

One colour/mixed colours:
  you can choose to have all text in one
  colour of your choice or have the 
  program pick random colours. 
  Click on the coloured panel to change
  the colour.

Size:
  this changes the size of the text on 
  screen. The actual font size is also 
  based on the length of the text, making
  each text item cover more or less the
  same surface.

Speed:
  Changes the speed at which the saver will 
  run. The speed will also be affected by the 
  other options (number of names, shadow and 
  highlight and the font face and size).
