What's new?

Screen Saver!

Our top priority is to keep as many features as possible intact.
We do not want to loose the look and feel of YoWindow 2.0

But, there are some things we want to change.
The things that will make YoWindow better.

Screen Saver is one of them.

We have changed YoWindow Screen Saver philosophy a little in YoWindow 3.
Now when Screen Saver starts you can play with it.
It works as though YoWindow has been started in Full Screen mode.
Every keyboard and mouse action works.
You can even go to Options with Ctrl-O, add locations and so on.

Why is this cool?
You don't need to close Screen Saver and open YoWindow application to look at another location or to see the next day.

To exit Screen Saver, just press Escape or click Exit button.

If you still prefer old good way to close Screen Saver with mouse move or key stroke - go to Options/Screen Saver.
There you will find an option to control this.

The file name of the Screen Saver is "yowindow3_alpha.scr".
The name of the Screen Saver in Windows is "YoWindow 3 Alpha".
I have also updated the preview image, (the old one was not the best shot, in my opinion).

Hi Pasha,

I have tried out the new Screen Saver and it is working great. I have tried 'fiesta', 'amelie', adding locations, scrolling locations, and trying to get Millie to freeze. Everything that I have tried is working as it should. Exit and 'Esc' take me back to the Desktop.

From the Desktop, when I click on the red X from a location other than the 'home' location and then click on the tray icon, YoWindow 3 now reopens with the 'home' location. So that has been fixed.

Good job. :good:
