Dale2507 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) Was looking through available downloads for AutoIt and noticed that there are no screensavers so i thought i'd make 1.First of all this isn't made in AutoIt it's made in DarkBasic Proffesional and if anyone want the source i shall publish it at some point in the near future. just right click and and click install to add it to your desktop properties. I found out how to limit it to the preview window however it does go to full screen to begin with untill it figures out what to do.Any key should close it apart from the arrow keys which can be used to control the spinning of the sphere in the middle.AutoIt ScreensaverThings to do:- make it look better- add different objects- add a config pageComments are welcome Edited November 10, 2008 by Dale2507 Deal or No Deal?

Valik Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 So... you wrote a screen-saver without actually reading any of the documentation on MSDN about writing screen-savers? Otherwise you would know how to write it properly so that it would work in the preview screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair although I know there is a preview switch I just spent 5 mins trying to find the MSDN page on it on LiveSearch (not allowed to use Google ) and I pretty much failed so I'm going to let it go...

A. Percy Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) Ok, DBPro is very easy, but I was thinking:If I want to make an AutoIt screensaver, I'll try to demonstrate the language capabilities. (my opinion)I'm trying to say: What do you think if Microsoft uses the OS X to develop their products? Edited November 20, 2008 by A.
