Title: Another Screensaver with avast! theme...
Post by: szc on October 19, 2005, 04:09:52 AM
I know we've been talking about off-topic issues a lot lately in this forum, but I decided to post this anyway...

Not to show everybody that I don't care what we've been discussing, but because I still believe that this stuff is not off-topic since it's tightly connected to avast!

I'm doing this for free as well as many forum members are helping promoting this program in many ways... many people also help providing unselfish help when it comes to technical related issues (myself among them since the very first day I came in here), so I believe we all can afford to post something from time to time, that's not tightly connected to security related issues and/or tweaking avast! program.

I believe we deserved at least that much. All those who thinks that we didn't, is (as always) free to say what's on his/her mind, and I'll gladly remove this thread.
Again, I had some free time, and I thought this would be a good idea maybe... to have one more avast! screensaver in our collection.

Edit: I still don't have any free space on my server, but as soon as somone offers to host this one, I'll upload it and everybody will be able to download it from there.

Go here for a link:
::: POST WITH A DOWNLOAD LINK ::: (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=16978.msg144306#msg144306)

Zip file name is sZc_avast_SCR2.zip and it contains two files...

1.) sZc_avast_SCR2.scr
and
2.) sZc_SCR_2_.swf

You will need to unzip it and place both files inside your Windows folder. That's all. Then you can go to your Display properties / Screen Saver and chose the sZc_avast_SCR2 from the dropdown list... you can also preview it before you chose it as your default screen saver.

Brief explanation: It's kind of dark screensaver with spinning blue sphere with avast! inside. It is also bouncing ball, and it bounces slowly...  hope you people will like this one...
Here is few screenshots:

Hi Sasha

The screen savers are brilliant and i personally don't think it is off topic.

Shame about Off Topic being closed as it was a good place just to visit and see what other members were up to.

Mind i will just have to visit my other forums more as they have Off Topic Forums!! 8)

Cheers

No problem Bob, I remember you said I can use it whenever I need, but I never want to do that prior asking you. I'll do that and I will inform you all when it's done.

Zip file is 455,339 Kb large, and when unpacked both files (together) are around 633 Kb

I'll let you know...  ;)

OK it's done...

Link is here:

::: DOWNLOAD avast! Bouncing/Spinning Sphere SCREENSAVER ::: (http://home.comcast.net/~sasha3160/ScreenSaver/2/sZc_avast_SCR2.zip)

Thanks Bob.

People you are free to download it whenever you decide... link is alive !  ;D

Edit:

NOTE: Flash player is required, so you have to have it installed on your system if you want to be able to see this screensaver. Of course, I made it completely in Flash. Most people do not have to worry about this at all, since everybody pretty much have flash players (plug-ins for your internet browsers) already installed.

This on is off-topic but it's still inside this thread, so I'll post it anyway... it's sure better than to make another thread...

Miha, here you can chose... please do not look at all of them at once... one at the time  ;D  ;D  ;D It'll make you dizzy... haha...

Another great art work again Sasha, you are getting to sharp and too good creating something Sasha.

Love those icon you create for Dark Mikey with the text spinning, come to think of it you should call it 'The Lord Dark Mikey'.

Like I said Sasha another great art work
