Expert: Alex Barry Date: 4/17/2008 Subject: Screen saver custom text
Question Hi,Alex. Why can I only put no more than 20 words on my computer screen saver to see? Is it possible to input more words on the Screen saver? My computer is Operation System is Windows XP (home edition). I discovered this by clicking on my lower left hand screen start button, clicking on the control panel, then clicking on the display icon inside this window & lastly this window called 3D Text Settings appears. It it seems that if it gives us a choice for custom text it would be more than 20 characters. I would appreciate any knowledge you have about this topic. Thank you for your time. Have a blessed day.
Answer Hi, Sterling,
I'm afraid that this is a place to ask questions about qbasic computer programming/scripting, so my knowledge in this is somewhat less, but I think I can help
First off, your screensaver and this 3d text setting seem to be completely different programs that do not interact with each other.
The problem is that the screen saver windows comes with is fairly limited, and really not very well done, to be quite honest.
What I suggest doing is searching google for a free screensaver that displays 3d text; most of those are not as limited as WinXP's 3d text.
You may want to check other resources here on allexperts.com to someone that may be more knowledgable on this stuff than myself. I can't find the settings file to that screensaver, so you are better off with someone more knowledgable on the subject
