Using the program
Accessing the main menu
The main menu can be accessed by right-clicking the program icon in the system tray. The menu will open and you can click on any sub item you desire.
Actions
To set the program settings select the 'Settings' item from the main menu. A new window will open that will allow you to specify the program behaviour.
For every corner of the screen you can specify the task the program will perform. You can select between these tasks:
Settings
- Nothing
Nothing happens. This is the default setting and it means that the program ignores this corner.
- Start screen saver
The default screen saver will be started immediately. This option also works if you have your Windows screen saver setting set to wait time to e.g. 15 minutes. The screen saver will be turned off when you will move the mouse from the corner and your desktop will be restored. If a default screen saver is not selected nothing will happen.- Disable screen saver
The screen saver won't be started even if you have enabled it in Windows settings and the waiting time (idle time) has elapsed.
- Turn off monitor
The monitor will be turned off. The monitor will turn on again when you move the mouse from the corner.
- Log off
The current user will be logged off and a log-in prompt will be displayed.
- Restart
Windows will restart. If some programs have unsaved data you will be asked to save it.
- Shut down
Windows will shut down and the computer will power down if it is capable of doing that. If some programs have unsaved data you will be asked to save it.
To set the program settings select the 'Settings' item from the main menu. A new window will open that will allow you to specify the program behaviour.
At the bottom of the opened window you can set three main settings: Program sensitivity, delay before actions and running the program at Windows Startup.
Mouse sensitivity
This value determines how many pixels in each cornet will be monitored. If you're having trouble 'finding' the right activation spot then you should increase this value. The default value is 4 pixels, which means that 4x4 block is monitored for mouse activity. If you turn on actions often by mistake then you should reduce this number.
Delay before actions
This number tells the program for how long the mouse cursor should be in the activation area before the action should be started. The number entered represents time in milliseconds (if you want to change the delay to one second you have to enter 1000 in the field). The default value is 0 - the action will take effect at once, without delay. This feature protects you from accidental actions. The mouse has to be in the corner for some time before the action is started.
Start the program at Windows Startup
If you want Magic Screensaver Master to start at Windows Startup check the 'Start Magic Screensaver Master with Windows' check box.
