• TruePix is a screensaver application that shows PICT files in a slideshow style.
• TruePix runs as an application, avoiding conflicts and memory problems.
• TruePix is a complete application, and does not require any other software.
There are three components to TruePix. TruePixShow is the application that
actually shows slides. It begins showing slides as soon as it is started, and
quits when it sees mouse movement. TruePixRunner is a faceless background
task that acts as a daemon and starts TruePixShow when it detects either a
timeout or a hot corner. SetCorners is an application which functions as a
control panel for TruePix.
TruePixShow
Place some PICT Files in the "•TruePix ƒ•" Folder located on your startup disk.
If no mouse or key movement is detected in the time period "Delay Time", the screen will fade to black and remain so until the mouse is moved.
You can move the mouse to the hot corner to activate TruePixShow and display the PICTs with their true colors.
You should place TruePixShow it in the System Folder. NO ALIASES PLEASE because TruePixRunner can get hung up trying to resolve alias files.
With QuickTime™, pictures will be dithered to adjust to screen size and depth… otherwise the PICT dimensions will not be reduced to fit.
If PICT depth does not exceed that of the screen, the palette will be set to the PICT's true colors … otherwise, if Quicktime™ is not running, the palette will be set to gray scale.
Hold down option key to display PICT name. Hit arrow keys to move back and forth.
You can Drag and Drop ANY folder containing PICTs on top of TruePix Show to view them. If depth is greater than 16 (thousands), then no "special effects".
If PICT size is greater than 150K, TruePix will attempt to load it in Temporary Memory.
