By default 3D Museum is set to run on the 640x480x64k SVGA graphics
mode at 50% of the screen size.

We have made our screen savers as adjustable as possible. 
All of our screen savers come standard with password protection and
selectable video modes.

Please note: Once you chance an option please press the apply button to cause
the changes to take effect. 

Password protection:
Using password protection will prevent most people from accessing your
computer as your screen saver is running. It is always possible to just
reset the computer that the screen saver is running on to get into it so
please note it is not impossible to get past a password. It will however 
keep most people from messing around with your system.


Video Modes:
Each computer has various video modes that its graphics can be run on.
Our screen savers allow you the user to select one that you would like
the screen saver to run on. 
In the list of avaliable video modes on your computer you may select one
that you would like to have the screen saver run on. Simply click on one
and hit apply. The higher the resolution of the video mode the slower the
screen saver will run. Example: 320x240 will run faster then 800x600
in most cases. A usual good resolution for graphics is 640x480.
The 8 bit, 15 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit radio buttons allow you to 
select how many colors the video mode will have.
8 bit= 256 colors
15 bit=32768 colors
16 bit=65536 colors
24 bit=16,777,216 colors
The higher the color depth that you choose the slower the screen saver will
go but the better the screen saver will look. Try testing out your video
modes and various color depths to find a sutable mode for your system.
Note: Not all video modes are 100% compatable with your system. They may
appear distorted, lock up your system or cause other effects on the screen
saver. 


Speed:
If the screen saver is running too fast on your system you can select a slower
speed which will cause the program to display less frames per second which will
slow down the program.

Display Size:
The display size adjusts how big of a window is on the screen. For example if you
selected a 640X480 graphics mode and run full screen the program will use the full
resolution of 640X480 to display the graphics. If you select a radio button of say 
50% the program will display a graphics window 50% of the original resolution on
the screen. The smaller the graphics window the faster the program will run. It is
recommended that you select a lower display size percentage if the program is running
too slow on your system. If the display window is not displayed at full screen size 
the window will randomly move after the amount of seconds you have entered. Usually
a good amount of seconds before the window moves is 60 to 120 seconds.

Museum:
The pictures displayed on the walls of the museum are the .bmp files that are currently
displayed in the gallery pictures list box. A maximum of 90 pictures may be loaded at a time
if you have enough RAM to load 90 .bmp files. The museum displays 90 pictures total randomly
spread throughout the museum. If you have less then 90 .bmp files loaded the bitmaps you do
have loaded will repeat to fill the 90 spots availiable for pictures on the museum walls.
For example if you have one .bmp file loaded you will see 90 copies of that same .bmp file
throughout the museum. Please note: the best .bmp files to load are 128x128 files. You will
also get good results if the width of the bitmap equals the height of the bitmap. Bitmap files
must also have a color resolution greater then 256 colors to be loaded. Bitmaps with less then
256 colors will cause an error to occur.   

Museum Type:
By default the museum is set to randomly select a different appearance for the museum each time
it is run. If you dont want to have the museum randomly pick one of the 22 different schemes for 
the museum walls, floors, and ceilings you will need to select one of the 22 choices yourself and then
hit apply to save the changes you have made.

Walking Speed:
Walking speed adjusts how fast you move through the museum. Walking speed in no way
effects the frame rate at which the program runs. It just adjusts how fast you move through the museum.
If objects are moving by too quickly select a slower walking speed.

Objects:
The objects in the museum are what are places on the floors of the museum. If an object is checked
it will be placed someplace in the museum. A total of 25 objects are placed throughout the museum and
by checking one of the four object types causes that object to have the chance of appearing as
one or more of the 25 objects randomly placed in the museum. If you do not wish to have
objects in your museum simply uncheck all the object boxes.

Fog:
Fog is a effect that can cause your museum to have a hazy look to it. To enable fog check
the enable fog/haze check box. Once checked you will be able to modify how dense the fog will
be throughout the museum and the color of the fog. The color that you see next to the
vertical scroll bars indicate the color of the fog in the museum. Please note: Enabling fog
most likely will greatly slow down the screen saver. If you dont mind the loss of speed by
all means enable it. If you are looking for faster frame rates it will be best to disable fog.
