After Dark

Post by Fingerfood »

Hmmm. Couldn't find anything about this...

E-Mail forwarded from a friend of a friend:


Here's the link to download After Dark:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=61O8MMNL

Just enter that three-letter verification code next to the "MegaUpload" logo,
then wait a minute or two, and you'll be able to hit the "download" button!
Then, when you download it, the installer you want is in the "4.0 +" folder
that's inside the "After Dark for Windows NT-2000-XP ONLY" folder. 3.2XP is a
bunch of After Dark screensavers that were released before After Dark 4.0
(there's over 150 of them!) but don't work completely correct under XP. They're
harder to set up and you can't really use them as screensavers; now they're more
for watching.

After you install it, it'll add a brand new "After Dark" tab in your Display
Properties window (accessed by right-clicking the desktop and selecting
"properties"). There, pick the module (screensaver) of your choice, then pick
"After Dark" on the Screen Saver tab. Even though Flying Toasters is one of the
best, try all of the others! Some of my favorites are Guernsy Madness, Hula
Twins, Bad Dog, Rock Paper Scissors, and Points of View! You can also tweak
them by fiddling with the settings in the panel to the right of the module list.
For example, you can turn off the music for a module if it annoys you or other
members of your family.


Definition by Wikipedia:

After Dark is a series of computer screensaver software introduced in 1989 by Berkeley Systems for the Apple Macintosh, and later for Microsoft Windows.

Following the original, new editions followed including More After Dark and Before Dark, as well as editions themed around licensed properties such as Star Trek, The Simpsons, Looney Tunes and Walt Disney Company characters. The screensaver modules often referenced each other, such as the flying toasters appearing in the Fish screensaver, and the cat from Boris screensaver appearing in the Bad Dog screensaver.

As well as the included animated screensavers, it allowed third-party modules to be included since, at the time of the original release, screensaver launching functionality was not included as a part of the Macintosh or Windows operating systems.

A book was published about After Dark called Art of Darkness by Erfert Fenton (Peachpit Press, 1992).

I seriously love all of the screensavers, and it does work for Vista for all of those who are worried.

Shoot. I'd put in a poll, but there are WAY more than 10 screensavers...

Well, my favorites are Rock Paper Scissors, Psycho Deli, Points of View, Guemsay Madness, CYb3r W@t, and of course Flying Toasters!
