This new screen saver integrates into the WPS, replaces the old Lockup Desktop facility, and can be extended with new screen saver modules.
The changes of this release are:
- Some small visual changes
- Added russian language support
- Fixed wrong Randomizer module configuration language when preview is disabled
- Hopefully fixed AnTVSim module freezes
- Changed behaviour of password protection in modules, so even the keypress triggering the password protection window will be treated as a password character.
- Added two new modules: Cairo Clock and Cairo Shapes.
Please note that these modules require Cairo v1.0.2 Runtime to be installed first. It can be installed from
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/Cairo/cairo-1.0.2-os2-bin.exe
It can be downloaded from hobbes.
