DirectX Marquee

This screen saver scrolls a text across your screen horizontally (from left to right/from right to left) and/or vertically (from top to bottom/from bottom to top). You can select either one of the directions mentioned before. If you can't decide which direction to choose, select the random option. In this case every time the text disappears from the screen the scrolling direction is randomized. The text can be the system time, the font name or any words of wisdom you may think of.
Another setting is the scrolling speed. Choosing random option for the speed makes your scrolling change the speed (without exceeding the maximum allowed value) every time the screen blackens completely.
The font name, size and color are set exclusively or randomly. In random mode you will have even more surprises when the new text starts scrolling back from the darkness.
You can experiment different values for DirectX Mode and decide for the one that is both very fast and very colorful.
You can enable/disable mouse moves and/or clicks and keyboard.

Please report any problems with the program. I'm opened to any suggestions or special requests regarding the screen saver.

By the way, the program is written in Delphi, so if you're interested in components, bits of code, tips or anything... let me know.

If you want a copy of this screen saver, all you have to do is send me a postcard (if you haven't already sent me one) from your citycontaining your name and your email address and I'll email you the zipped program (165K).
