Introduction

DesqTop Solutions simulates most of the features of Themes found in
Windows 95 Plus.  It will automatically or manually change your Screensavers,
Wallpapers and the System Sound Events either randomily or sequentially.
It also features a convenient Toolbar that can hold 100 application icons
to make it easier to launch your favorite applications without cluttering
your desktop with shortcuts.

New features include the ability to display JPEG, GIF, PCX, TIF, PNG as
well as BMP files for wallpapers.  Upto 100 applications can be selected
for lauching on the resizable toolbar.  Seperate schemes are available
to save and recall your favorite selections for each section.  Browsing
for images is much easier with the new thumbnail previewer.


Configuration

Two icons will appear on the toolbar the first time it's executed.  The
icon marked "DS" is for configuring the application.  Configuring the
application may also be accomplished by right clicking any of the
icons on the toolbar (with the execption of the clock - if visible).
This will display a popup menu which also provides an option for
"Configuration...".

By default, the General Setup window will appear the first time the
configuration window is opened.  This window will allow you to enable or
disable the primary options available with DesqTop Solutions.  The clock, and
its related features, can be controled from this window.  The clock can be
used to launch screen savers by clicking it with the left mouse button, and
the wallpaper may be changed by clicking it with the right mouse button.
Included on this page is an option to enable and disable the Tool Tray Icon.
The DesqTop Solutions Icon will appear in the Tool Tray and will allow you
to launch screen savers, change wallpapers and sound events.  This is real
handy if D.S. isn't visible.

Applications may be selected from the Launcher window for display on the
Main Toolbar.  DesqTop Solutions will allow up to 100 applications to be
selected from the existing applications are currently on the PC.
