The Kaleider Screensaver (and Automatic Effects) can consist of any
mixture of Random Effects and Scripted Sequences, from entirely
randomly generated to all Scripted. Relative Frequencies can be
set to weight the occurrence of Random Effects and Scripted
Sequences. The types of effects that might be randomly selected can
be chosen. Kaleidoscopes, Mirrors, 3D Mirrors and
Funnels tabs allow detailed specification of which varieties of effects
within each category should be available for random selection. Wander
can be chosen to apply motion to effects. The Center option
automatically positions patterns to maximize symmetries. Mandala shows
rendered patterns centered within a circle. Rooms converts the display
to a 3D environment. When Mixture is checked, a random choice is made
between standard Tiling and the checked Center, Mandala and
Rooms options. The Image Source can be set to either the Desktop,
the Image Gallery or an Image Directory. Audio Options
can be specified so that Kaleider effects are accompanied by music.
