    you need a "screen test" ("mire" in French), vectorized, printable, free. Three things that seem to lack to a lot of programs... This one is simply a great way to print patterns and make TV-like screensavers... Good little image app' .

    (although not all "gadgets" are of use for a graphic designer like me). Thanks for making it free!
