Screensaver

Post by Fractal Grinder »

Hey my brother was really digging some of my work and was wondering if there was a way to export these in a way that he could use in a screensaver?

You can't export screensavers directly from Magic. Your brother might be able to get it to work with the following steps, but it would be tricky:
1) Install Magic.
2) Install another program like this: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/S ... l#RunSaver, which runs any program as a screen saver.
3) Set up the command so Magic gets run with a project, such as "Magic.exe someproject.magic".
4) Select the option in Magic to start in fullscreen mode.

That's it, but there's also the problem that he would have to exit Magic every time he wanted to return to using the computer normally. So it's not really an ideal situation.

A better solution would be to export a video from Magic, and then your brother can use that as the screensaver. Something like http://technologyplusblog.com/2013/comp ... windows-7/
