INSTALLATION
------------
1. Place the files WPCLOCK.EXE and WPCLOCK.HLP in a directory of your choice,
for example C:\WPCLOCK
2. In the Windows program manager (or desktop manager you are using), add a
program item to a group; use the 'Startup' group if you want the clock to
automatically start when Windows starts. Sample specification:
Description: Wall Paper Clock
Command line: C:\WPCLOCK\WPCLOCK.EXE
Working directory: C:\WPCLOCK
Substitute the actual drive + directory where you put the files in step 1.
Press OK. The 'Run Minimized' setting has no effect; the clock cannot run
iconized.
3. Launch the program. The clock will initially appear at the lower right
corner of the screen. Note that if the clock is sitting on top of other
windows, the background will be gray, otherwise your wall paper should be
showing thru the clock.
4. If your wall paper is predominantly white, the clock may be difficult to
see; use the clock's setup screens to change the text color.
5. To change options (font, color, chimes, alarms, etc), see the following
section.
ACCESSING THE SETUP SCREENS
---------------------------
Mouse Method:
1. Position the mouse over the clock. Notice that the cursor changes to a
square box.
2. To access the Main setup screen, press the left mouse button. Alternately,
to go directly to the Alarm setup screen, press the right mouse button.
Keyboard Method:
1. Use the task manager or Alt+Tab to make the clock the foreground task.
2. To access the Main setup screen, press the 'S' key. Alternately, to go
directly to the Alarm setup screen, press the 'A' key.
The Chime, Font and Color setup screens can be reached from the Main setup
screen. The online help file explains the screens, if necessary.
NOTE
----
If you are using a automated wallpaper changer and the wallpaper behind the
clock does not change, select "Help" from the clock's setup screen, search on a
keyword of "Troubleshooting" and view the section on "Problems with Third Party
Wallpaper Managers".
