This new screen saver integrates into the WPS, replaces the old Lockup Desktop facility, and can be extended with new screen saver modules.
Some of the main changes of this version are:
- Optimized Matrix module, now uses less CPU
- Italian language support
- Small mouse movement won't stop screen saving
Please note that if you want to use the Cairo saver modules, they require Cairo v1.0.3 Runtime to be installed first. It can be installed from
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/Cairo/cairo-1.0.3-os2-bin.exe
It can be downloaded from hobbes.
