 Textures

The texture is the 15x15 pattern that is repeated over the surface of each solid. By animating each of these patterns the whole of a solid can be animated. If you choose Random then the saver will select a different texture each time it is run. If you also click Change each time then the texture will change when each new solid is created.


Speed

The speed is set by default to 100. It is best left at this value unless you have a lower spec machine, in which case you may find that the saver slows background processes - such as printing - during its operation.


Density

The density controls the size of each texture and consequently the speed of animation. The lower the density, the larger the texture and the faster the animation.


 Clear each time

Set this option if you want the screen to clear between each solid.


 Change each time

If this option is checked then the colours used to create the texture will be re-set for each solid. Also, if the Random texture has been selected, the patterns on each surface will change each time.

When colours are set to be changed you will also notice the textures being animated in three different directions before a new solid is created. The three animated patterns are made up of the red, green and blue elements of the texture.

Heck. It sounds complicated, but all it really means is that the patterns will go psychadelic every now and then.


 Screen splits

Very funky effect. Check this if want the screen to quarter for each solid. The animation in each sector will continue as the solids get gradually smaller and smaller.


 Setting the password

Check this option to password protect the saver. To amend the password click the Set Password button.

1505-1585. Thomas Tallis served under four monarchs: Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary Tudor and Elizabeth I. Despite being a Roman Catholic, he spent much of his career composing choral polyphony for the Protestant rite. A gentleman of the Royal Chapel, he became joint organist with his pupil William Byrd. His best known works are Spem In Alium (most probably for Mary in 1556 or Elizabeth I in 1573) and The Lamentations Of Jeremiah (c. 1545).
