The Screensaver version of Kaleider behaves much like the Automatic Effects feature of the Interactive Kaleider. It produces Kaleidoscope, Mirroring, 3D Mirroring and Funneling effects automatically in random sequences.
The Kaleider Configuration screen allows specification of which effects are
included and how often they are rendered. In addition to Random Effects,
Scripted Sequences, created by the Interactive Kaleider program, can
also be included. The source of images that effects are based upon can be set
to the Desktop, an Image Directory or the Image Gallery,
which is a collection of image files that can be displayed with a specified
sequence and frequency.
Wandering can be activated to put rendered effects into motion. Several predefined Wander Patterns are available. Rooms can be invoked to display effects in 3D perspectives, optionally with automated Roaming movements. Masking shows rendered patterns overlaid with a static background color or image (perhaps as a Mandala).
Kaleider effects can be accompanied by music according to Audio Options. The Audio Source can be either an Audio Directory containing MP3, MIDI, etc. format files or an Audio CD.
For variety, an Animate Colors feature can be chosen to perform a continuous series of color shifts on screen pixels after each rendered effect.
You can create and save multiple Configuration Files with customized
settings, and Image Galleries composed of your own photos.
Both the Interactive and Screensaver versions of Kaleider are included with the full Kaleider Trial:
