not to condone your efforts but i liked mikey's version better myself, it looks more like the triangle is spinning rather then stopping half way and starting over, none the less tho good job,

yeah thats the thing i guess i should have said before: it looks like it stops and starts over because i have to spit the triangle into 2 pieces and i have sucesfully got it to go to the middle but if i want to have the pieces change sides it doesnt do it like i would need it to it makes the triangle flip about 45 degrees inward (think kinda like the text in starwars going in space) and it then proceds to rotate it along this new axis not around the bottom and top axis it needs to be spining it around. Im going to figure out how to get around this that was just proof of concept showing how far i got what i should have done is set it so the thing didnt restart when it was over.

Here is my go at it

Since I have absolutely no skills in flash so this was made in photoshop, the flash is just for the animation. I find the colours to be more like the ones on the screens in game. If you have any suggestion, just tell me. Since it is bitmap rather then vector, it only looks good on the resolution it was meant to look at, 1152x864, my desktop resolution.

rename it to UAC.scr for it to run. remeber that if you run it at anything other then 1152x864, it won't look proper.

Ok, here's another question- Anyone know if you can set a shortcut to bring up your screensaver? I usually use Win-L to lock the computer, but it'd be so much cooler if I could use something else and have this come up :)

with the older office versions the "office toolbar" had it

btw still need a swf to screensaver program so i can complete 1.0

Here are some more apps:

http://www.wanpatan.com/bitbull/features.htm <--- can't tell how limited the demo is

http://www.no2games.com/flashsaver.shtml <---- freeware now, hopefully will work

http://www.stardustsoftware.com/downloads/trials/sstoolkit3/ <---- the trial expires in 10 days, but is there a limit on the SCR files?

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
