'Preview' button: starts the screensaver with the (perhaps changed) settings from this configuration screen.
'Restore' button: restores the settings to the stored values in the ini file and discard the changes.
'Default' button: restores the settings to the values encoded by the programmer.
'Apply' button: stores the (changed) setttings from this configuration screen into the ini file of the screensaver.
The settings tab:
The 'respond to mouse' checkbox: when checked the screensaver will stop if the mouse is moved.
The 'respond to keyboard' checkbox: when checked the
screensaver will stop if a key from the keyboard is pressed.
'Mouse sensitivity': 100% means that a little mouse movement wil stop the screensaver, 0% means that only a large mouse movement will be effective.
Text color: click this box to change the color of the displayed text and population count in the screensaver.
The Base1 and Base2 tabs:
There are two points needed for this screensaver to count the population for the current time/date.
These two points are Base1 and Base2.
Each point consists of the day, month, year and the corresponding population-size.
When these points are known, the screensaver can extrapolate/interpolate to calculate a current value for the population.
Problems and their solutions:
When the settings from the ini-file (wc361095.ini) are not right the screensaver might produce an '#error#' message instead of the counter.
In this case you can run this configuration screen, press the 'default' button to get the default settings. After that press the 'apply' button. Now the ini file should contain the default settings. Try to run the screensaver again.
If this does not solve anything, delete the wc361095.ini file. Then run this configuration screen, pres 'default' and then 'apply' and then 'close'.
If you still can not find a solution, mail me at (and also send a copy of the wc361095.ini file):
