SSThingy Screen Shots

This page displays screen shots of "SSThingy" - an application that allows Windows users to conveniently control their screen saver, which is useful for protecting sensitive on-screen information, etc.  This page contains fairly large images and may require some time to load.  Thank you for your patience.
LogoCycler screen shots are also interesting.


The SSThingy UI is composed primarily of a property sheet and eight property pages.   The screen saver can be controlled by the user through SSThingy via the mouse and keyboard.   By placing the mouse in a "hot corner" for a user specified period of time, the user can instruct SSThingy to enable, disable, or start the screen saver (among other things.)  The same functionality can be accomplished via "hot keys" - special user defined key combinations, which when pressed, cause SSThingy to perform some action.  I originally developed this application in 1997 because I wanted to be able to hide sensitive on-screen information from those who tend to "pop in" unexpectedly.  At the time it also turned out to be pretty handy while burning CD-ROMS.  Back then, if the screen saver would kick in it usually meant my burn process would create another drink coaster. :-/
