After that period of time the screensaver will stop animating and the screen will go black. The first "Suspend After" sets a time limit. To this end the screensaver contains two new (v1.10) settings on the "Power Save" tab of the settings. Many people have this sort of setting and you can still tell if the Matrix has you or not. One possible compromise is to set the screensaver to load after 5 minutes and set the monitor to turn off after 15 or so. Instead my monitor turns off after 10 minutes.īut I can't speak for others, you must do as your own conscience dictates. I think it looks great, and it was fun to create, but it is too much for my conscience to bear. Burning CPU cycles with abandon and keeping the monitor(s) fully powered up are small steps towards ultimate DOOM! Personally, I don't use the Matrix Screensaver. Screensavers and Climate Change - How green is the Matrix? To see these new parameter sets you must either delete the TheMatrix.ini file from your windows directory, or select the settings button (from the screen setup window) and click "Defaults" New versions often tweak the default parameter sets. If you plan to run multi-monitor then for the best results a faster machine is a essential. The animation is more intricate and detailed and the matrix-code is more fluid and dynamic, with many more changes. The screensaver will run on older and slower computers (e.g. If for example, you are encoding a movie, you certainly don't want the screensaver sucking time away from your encoder such that it ends up taking twice as long! The screensaver may yield to other programs on your computer. I have attempted to regulate it more effectively, but if your computer is too busy then the screensaver simply won't get enough time to run properly. If you have an intensive task running on your computer when the screensaver starts up then the animation can appear hesitant and juddery. Note that only the logo and matrix-code sequences appear on all the monitors.

So go on, The Matrix really does have you this time. I have tested it on a few dual-display systems, but in theory it should work on any number of displays if you have enough CPU horsepower. The screensaver now supports multiple monitors. Move to the 'Screen Saver' tab then and select 'TheMatrix' from the screen saver list. Once installed you turn on the screensaver by using the Windows screen properties dialog (right-click on the Windows desktop and select 'Properties' or from the Display option in the Control Panel)
