- DESCRIPTION
-
- DesktopMAGIC saves your screen from phosphor burn-in by
- featuring 32 animated screen saver modules, accompanied by
- sampled sound and 8-track music. Plus, it puts sound into your
- system, Workbench, and even all your already installed
- applications by assigning sounds or voices to windows, keys,
- times, text and virtually all other system events. It gives
- your AMIGA that MAGIC feeling you will never want to miss
- again.
-
- Main Features:
-
- - Entertaining screen saver modules, such as "Flying
- Breakfast" or "Aquarium", professionally designed and animated.
- - Useful screens saver modules, such as a clock, a module to
- leave personal memos, or a module for password protection.
- - All modules can be customized by changing numerous parameters,
- and by selecting the accompanying sound and music.
- - Create personal screen saver modules to showcase your IFF graphics
- and ANIM files - your logo, your 3D-scenes, you name it!
- - With the Audio Manager you assign sampled sounds to...
- - any system event such as "Close Window" or "Inserted Disk"
- - any key (specific keys and groups of keys)
- - starting programs when launched from Workbench or CLI
- - any text string, such as "Please insert next disk!"
- - any time (specific times and 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full hour)
- Be prepared for a whole new AMIGA feeling - two disks worth
- of sounds and music are included!
- - Comes on 3 disks packed with screen saver modules, sounds,
- music, graphics and animations... diversity for months to come!
-
