I didn't figure it would be all that hard. In addition to what you noted, I would also need a version of the configuration panel which allowed you to select a file to display, as well as (preferably) a way to select the full-screen resolution used (...) (24 years ago, 13-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to get it to launch in fullscreen mode. Maybe the saver launchers have a way around this problem. The startup spin vector problem is another problem, since LDView doesn't have any way of making this happen (...) (24 years ago, 13-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

The background color of this texture is black, which is why you can't change the background color. However, the (...) (24 years ago, 13-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I use a "fog" object to make the transition from the ground plane to the background smoother. For day scenes, I generally use a very light blue color (like <0.7,0.9,1>). For night scenes, you could use a dark blue <0,0,0.4> or black <0,0,0>. (...) (24 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) It's fairly easy to make a Windows screensaver. There are a few API calls to make and catch, but mostly you just compile to a .SCR extension, and stop your program where there is keyboard or mouse activity. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
