About
NOVA Version 3.1
NOVA was originally written with the intent of creating a stable, application based screen saver environment. Most of the screen savers available do a lot of system trap patching via extensions, which introduce a factor of uncertainty in your system. NOVA does not patch any OS routines, but instead is completely application driven -- when it is appropriate (based on user settings), NOVA will launch it's "Saverlet" applications that will do the screen saving. NOVA provides three main services to the user: (1) eliminates the potential for phosphor screen burn-in, (2) security for your system via password entry, and (3) entertainment for yourself and those who work around you. One last boastful note: NOVA is one of the only screen saver applications that can utilize multiple monitor setups-- and when we say "utilize", we mean that drawing occurs on ALL monitors, not just the menubar screen. Take that After Dark!
Version 3.1 adds several new features and enhancements. A partial list:
- Holding down the "Control" key and putting the mouse in the NOVA Now or Never corner causes the NOVA Settings application to reveal itself in the finder. This is handy for when you want to quickly find your NOVA installation on disk.
- The entire NOVA package was reduced in size by using the Code Fragment Manager.
- Rearrangement of some of the NOVA Settings control panel, and better support for the Appearance Manager.
