Hi Remco!

Thought I might give you some feedback:

I downloaded your screensaver and tried it on my NT 4.0 (SP 3) box.
Unfortunately, I can not change the settings of the screensaver. That means,
if I open
Desktop->Properties->Screensavers and choose the POV screensaver then click
on "Settings", nothing happens.
Because of this, I can not adjust the speed of the saver (I do assume that
it is possible to adjust the speed in the settings?) and therefore the saver
changes quotes so fast, that I can barely read the first line of each one...
Also, on the Desktop->Properties->Screensavers dialog-page, where you
usually see a thumbnail preview of the screensaver running, no such thing
appears, the little monitor screen stays blank and black.

And a suggestion:
You might want to consider changing the background periodically too, because
with such large areas of static image, the whole purpos of a screen*saver*
is somewhat defeated, isn't it?

Otherwise, nice work! I would like to use it, but with the quotes changing
so fast it is not much fun :(

Johannes
