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:
Nothing
Nothing happens. This is the default setting and it means that the
program ignores this corner.
Start screensaver
The default screensaver will be started imediatelly. This option also
works if you have your Windows screensaver setting set to wait time to
e.g. 15 minutes. The screensaver will be turned off when you will move
the mouse from the corner and your desktop will be restored. If a
default screensaver is not selected nothing will happen.
Disable screensaver The screensaver 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.
Settings
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 oppened 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.
Magic Screensaver Master is Shareware. This means that you can download
and install the program for testing purposes. You may use the program
for 30 days free of charge. After this time you must register or
uninstall the program.
Purchasing online
You can register the program directly from the program menu. Open main

'Register...' and a new window will open. Click on the 'Buy now' image
once and your web browser will open and the purchase page will be
displayed. The system operates on a secure server which means that
sending any information, including your credit-card number, is safe.
The
web application will guide you through the ordering process. Be sure
that you enter all the data correct. Make sure that your e-mail address
is correct because this is where you'll receive your password to unlock
the program.
You can reach the Sofware Shop also by following this link.
When the processing company (SWREG) will process your credit card and
when the payment will be done you will be sent a keycode to the e-mail
address you specified. Then you can proceed with unlocking
the program.
Purchasing by mail
If you do not trust internet transactions or if you don't have a credit
card you can still order the program. You can find the order form in
the
program folder in the file 'order.txt'. Open it in Notepad, fill it out
with block letters, print it out and send it with cash to Magic Project
address. You will find the address in the file itself.
When the order will be received the registered program or keycode will
be sent to you by e-mail or by air mail on CD.
Unlocking the program
When you receive a password (keycode) for unlocking the program you can
register the program. Open main menu by right-clicking the program
icon in te system tray. A window will open where you see the section
'Unlock the program: you will see a text box and a button. You have to
type the keycode to the text box. Make sure that you type the code
exactly the same as it is in your confirmation e-mail. The best way to
do that is to copy and paste the code. When you've typed in the code
click the 'register' button. If the code is correct the program will be
registered and will stop showing the Shareware notice when you first
run
it.
