Product Description:

iScreensaver Designer will convert all QuickTime-compatible movies and pictures (including MPEG, MooV, AVI, Macromedia Flash, PICT, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, and dozens of other formats) into a self-contained screensaver with a one-click installer. customizeble options include splash screens, web linking, alternate (hidden) content, QuickTime version checking, and a simple but powerful WYSIWYG editor. It is recommended that all users of iScreensaver Designer 2.0 upgrade to 3.0.
Features:
  • Screensaver creation for Windows 98 thru XP.
  • Screensaver creation for Macintosh OS 8.6 thru Mac OS X.
  • Full support for QuickTime's cross-platform audio and video standards.
  • Full customization with consistent cross-platform appearance.
  • Build screensavers with hidden content that may be unlocked with a code that you can sell.
  • The only true Cross-Platform screensaver editor
  • Variety of licensing options, from non-profit to unlimited commercial use.

What's new in this version:

Intel Macs
  • We now support the new Apple Macs with Intel CPUs. Screensavers for Mac OS X will install as a Universal Binary format. This increases Mac OS X savers in size by about 300KB across the board.
  • Note: iScreensaver Designer will also run on Intel Macs. However, it runs under Rosetta, not as a Universal Binary.
iScreensaver Designer
  • Closing the advanced slide show editor with a music file playing could cause a crash under Windows. Fixed.
  • Build progress dialog details was showing the wrong "Slide Show Size". Fixed.
  • New sample project: "Interactive Project" demonstrates creating an interactive project using Flash. Sample .FLA file is included.
  • Saving: Project file save errors will give you the chance to do a "Save As" instead. In prior versions, you would just lose any changes w/o warning.
  • Audio File Type Warnings: Selecting a m4a (aac, unprotected) file no longer warns. Selecting a m4p (protected) gives a warning about DRMd files not working for others.
Double-Byte Language Systems
  • Installers and savers have further improvements to work more reliably on Japanese, Chinese and other double-byte language systems. (Version 3.3 would often give incorrect "Not registered" messages, be missing customization text, or fail to show the proper images and movies.)
  • Name of iScreensaver Preferences folder name no longer has non-ASCII character in it, for better compatibility.
  • Please note that iScreensaver does not offer Unicode support, so you should try to use plain ASCII wherever possible.
Screensavers
  • In Mac OS X, unregistered screensavers were sometimes putting up the "Not Registered" warning dialog 100% of the time, which was not nice. Now only shows up 1 in 4 uses on average.
  • Increased performance & quality of visual effects on all platforms.
Screensaver Installer / Uninstaller
  • Revamped the dialog box sequence when you don't have the right version of QuickTime loaded. Buttons are labeled better ("Download", "Continue", "Cancel"). You can choose "continue" to ignore the warning. If you do there is a secondary "are you sure" warning. We don't bother with the "you must use the recommended download" any more as it's no longer a problem in QuickTime installers.
  • Updated link URL to QuickTime installers for several OS versions.
Wizard
  • Select audio button defaults to appropriate folder: "~/Documents/Music" on Mac OS X, "My Music" on Windows.

This is great - my daughter has a new iMac, but can make her second grade slide show screensavers for her grandparents to play on their old dell machines. Nice work!! Good software. I don't see what anyone has to complain about... it does just what it says its supposed to do.

This program is indeed very easy to use and the cross-platform feature is
rare and wonderful. Unfortunately, the developers have overlooked one
element which I find is beyond irritating. Since each screensaver uses Quicktime - the computer does not go to sleep regardless of system settings. Any screensaver simply runs and runs and runs until the user interacts. I like the "normal" Mac OS X screensavers because after the set time period they sleep and my system can "rest". So I will buy this when they
figure out how to build in a sleep feature like every normal screensaver.
