FadeToBlack works and is automatic; Stars1.8 is manual and works in 2-bit mode; I suspect a fair number of the manual ones work. However, I can't find anything that is invoked automatically and works under MultiFinder (both FadeToBlack and Stars1.8 fail)! Dimmer was a nice device, but seems to require reinstallation almost every time I boot (otherwise it draws the icon with a black X through it). Does anybody have 1) a fix to Dimmer or 2) a similar product: must run on II and under MultiFinder; preferably does not block such processes as printing and download? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oliver Steele ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!mcnc!unc!steele steele%unc@mcnc.org "But remember, it's never too late to take Swahili." -- Peter Wolfenden

Considering the number of recent request for a screen blanker, I have decide to post the one I wrote (called AutoIdle) to comp.binaries.mac. AutoIdle is compatible with all version of the Macintosh and Multifinder (except for 1 thing, which is mentioned in the documentation), it uses color on a Mac II, and works properly with multiple screens on a Mac II. It is not a product, and it does not provide a lot of features that might be in other such programs. Enjoy.
