Savervisor is a Screen Saver and Wall Paper Manager. It provides
following functions:
 
  - It appears as an icon that allows you launch a screen saver
    instantly by a single click of RIGHT mouse button. Note: You
    have to select a saver in Savervisor's setup screen in order
    to have Savervisor launch when clicking at its icon with RIGHT
    mouse button.

 - It can be run in a INVISIBLE mode. With this great feature,
    you can just put it into Windows Startup group in Program 
    Manager and forget it: It will take care all the management 
    tasks while you never realize it is working for you!

  - It allows you specify the sensitive areas where you can click
    the RIGHT mouse button to launch a saver instantly.

  - It provide saver scheduling capability.  That is, it allows
    you specify what saver to be activate at a specified hour
    through a week.  It also allows you switch savers through
    all the savers in your Windows directory and specify switchng
    period.
 
  - It can be set to "Always on top" to increase your
    accessibility to its features.

  - It can display(illustrate) all the screen savers in your
    Windows directory in different styles(ONCE, CIRCLE, and RANDOM).

  - It works as the saver section of Windows Desktop
    allowing you select, setup, and test a screen saver from
    within its setup screen.

  - It provides a very strong wall paper management capability.

    First, it allows you to specify any BMP files as your
    Wallpaper from anywhere of your file system(including hard,
    network, and CD drives) in a particular hour through a week.
    
    Secondly, it allows you schedule BMP files as your 
    Wallpaper by specifying switching period through your
    file system.
    

    Finally, it can "walk" you through the entire file system
    (including hard, network, and CD drives).  That is, it
    displays all the BMP files in your file system one after 
    another as wall paper - You can see exactly how the BMP file 
    looks as a Wallpaper on your screen instead of a single BMP 
    image(specially, when Tile function is set). You can choose 
    from either automatic or clicking to switch images when BMP is 
    illustrated.

  - It also provides some other function such as tile setting.


How to use Savervisor:

  - There are at least three ways to use it:
      1). Always running and INVISIBLE.  You can set its running
          mode into INVISIBLE and put it into Startup group of 
          Windows Program Manager so that Savervisor is launched 
          automatically when you start your Windows.  In this way, 
          Savervisor will work in background - You will never see 
          it while it is working for you: carrying out all the tasks 
          according to you Saver schedule and Wallpaper
          schedule, launching savers instantly when you click the
          RIGHT mouse button at the area you specify.
     

      2). Always running but visible. In this way, you can access
          setup screen of Savervisor by a double click at its 
          running icon#. For easy access, you can set it ALWAYS ON TOP.
      3). Use it to setup you wall paper or select a screen saver
          and turn it off after setup.

  - After Launching Savervisor from Program Manager, You will see
    an animation icon at the top left corner of your screen if
    it is set to visible mode. Note: But you will see nothing
    if it is set to INVISIBLE mode.  In this case, You can
    launch Savervisor one more time if you like to bring up
    its setup screen in order to turn it into visible mode or
    change setting of Savervisor. After you launch it second
    time, the running icon will appear so that you can double
    click at it to bring up the setup screen.

   - To access Savervisor's setup screen, you need to double
     click at the running icon.

   - You must bring up the setup screen of Savervisor in order
     to turn it off.

   - Clicking the RIGHT mouse button on the Savervisor icon or
     any sensitive areas that you specify will enable the 
     current screen saver in Windows Desktop and selecting any 
     screen saver in the setup screen of Savervisor has the some 
     effect of selecting a saver in Windows Desktop.
