This is the place where you make final decisions about the screen saver that is going to be created for you, so we strongly recommend you to read the page carefully and try to completely understand each of the options available.

Internet .SCR with built-in scenario
This type of screen saver gives viewers the opportunity to see initial screen saver scenario even without Internet connection. Everything looks like a standard screen saver until the moment changes are detected and new scenario and screen saver component files downloaded over the Internet. When all files are successfully downloaded, screen saver automatically restarts with the new scenario. Viewers do not have to do anything special because download is completed in the background while the previous version of the screen saver is running.

Internet .SCR only
This type of screen saver is initially just a player engine without any scenario built-in. When a viewer starts it for the first time it will display a progress bar and start downloading screen saver scenario and component files. When all files are successfully downloaded the screen saver will start playing and from that point onwards everything works like with a screen saver with built-in scenario. The main advantage of this type of screen saver is smaller file to download initially. Of course, main disadvantage is that viewer will not be able to see anything but download progress screen until download of all screen saver component files is successfully completed.

Standard .SCR
This type of screen saver has built-in scenario and all screen saver component files, but can not be automatically updated via Internet.

Screen saver .SCR file
Makes standard screen saver .SCR file that works on all Windows platforms (95/98/NT/Me/2000/XP).

Screen saver installer .EXE file
Makes .EXE file that contains standard screen saver .SCR file and options for screen saver preview, installation and removal

Files to upload to Internet screen saver's web location
Creates three separate ISSB source files (issb.html, issb_text.html and issb_config.html) and saves all necessary screen saver component files (images, media/flash files) to the local destination folder ready for upload to internet screen saver's web location. It is recommended that you check your server what kind of file names are acceptable to upload via FTP (small case, upper case, mixed case) before you even start developing your screen saver and make sure you use proper file names. Otherwise, it might happen that your Internet screen saver will not work.

Issb.html file is actually a text file that contains the screen saver scenario formatted as HTML comment between reserved <ISSB></ISSB> tags and as such is ready for inclusion by simple copy & paste into any HTML document (it does not have any other HTML tags and/or formatting). So, you can either use issb.html file directly or you can put its contents into some other file that you will specify in "Internet screen saver URL" box.

Issb_text.html file is also a text file formatted as HTML, this time using special <ISSBText></ISSBText> tags that define all text messages that appear in the screen saver. This file enables the end user to only download the textual portion of the screen saver if any changes to it have been made, instead of downloading the entire screen saver.

Issb_config.html contains information that define the Internet screen saver update period. Through the use of this file it is possible to make changes to the Internet screen saver update period, as opposed to having it updated with the same frequency constantly (e.g. end user's screen saver set to search for updates every 30 minutes can be switched to another update periond, say, 24 hours without any effort by the end user). You can also redirect the screensaver to a new web location by adding this simple tag: <Redirect>NewWebLocationURL</Redirect>. Please note that a new web location information is stored in the system registry and if removed from there the screensaver will automatically roll back to the original web location.

Screen saver file name
File name you type here will be used for creating following screen saver project files in all cases: .XIS, .SCR, .EXE, .ISS

Local destination folder (Browse)
It is strongly recommended to use separate folders for different screen saver projects or different versions of the same project to avoid confusion about which files belong to which screen saver projects and to avoid unintentional overwrites. You do not have to use Browse button, instead you can type in destination folder directly and if it does not exist program will automatically create it when you click Make.

Do not show screen saver before checking for changes
This option affects execution of an internet screen saver on a viewer's computer. If enabled, when the interval set as minimum to wait before checking for new version passes, screen saver will not show its contents any more before it gets a chance to check its web location and either verify there have not been any changes or it downloads new scenario and all necessary screen saver component files. Be careful with using this option. It is mostly suitable for intranets or viewers with constant Internet connection when a screen saver contents is critical and you do not want to let it display if expired.

Rename output files to match screen saver file name
Enable this option if you want to keep different screen saver projects or different versions of the same project in one folder. All files in one screen saver project will have the same file name stem so you can easily distinguish between projects.

Install screen saver as default on this computer
Automatically copies .SCR file to your C:\Windows\System folder, sets it as default screen saver and opens Control Panel / Display / Screen Saver dialog so you can check & adjust other settings immediately.

Upload generated files
Enable this option to get FTP Upload dialog right after Make dialog completes its work. By setting parameters for your FTP server you will be able to put all internet screen saver's files to its web location directly from Internet ScreenSaver Builder. Please note that this FTP upload does not have crash recovery and it will send all files each time overwriting any existing files. Scroll down to see FTP upload dialog's screen shot explained.
