DESCRIPTION
DesktopMAGIC saves your screen from phosphor burn-in by
featuring 32 animated screen saver modules, accompanied by
sampled sound and 8-track music. Plus, it puts sound into your
system, Workbench, and even all your already installed
applications by assigning sounds or voices to windows, keys,
times, text and virtually all other system events. It gives
your AMIGA that MAGIC feeling you will never want to miss
again.
Main Features:
- Entertaining screen saver modules, such as "Flying
Breakfast" or "Aquarium", professionally designed and animated.
- Useful screens saver modules, such as a clock, a module to
leave personal memos, or a module for password protection.
- All modules can be customized by changing numerous parameters,
and by selecting the accompanying sound and music.
- Create personal screen saver modules to showcase your IFF graphics
and ANIM files - your logo, your 3D-scenes, you name it!
- With the Audio Manager you assign sampled sounds to...
- any system event such as "Close Window" or "Inserted Disk"
- any key (specific keys and groups of keys)
- starting programs when launched from Workbench or CLI
- any text string, such as "Please insert next disk!"
- any time (specific times and 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full hour)
Be prepared for a whole new AMIGA feeling - two disks worth
of sounds and music are included!
- Comes on 3 disks packed with screen saver modules, sounds,
music, graphics and animations... diversity for months to come!
DesktopMAGIC is a safe screensaver:
- Professionally designed in strict accordance to AMIGA system
and user interface guidelines.
- Runs flawlessly on all present and future OS revisions, such as
OS 1.3, OS 2.0 and OS 3.0.
