G-Force screen saver looks better
I’ve noticed that, to me, the default screen saver visualizering looks better than the visualizing I see using the G-Force default settings in iTunes, Winamp or Media Player. So after some trial and error I was able to make a couple of minor changes to the “preferences†file to get the screen saver visualizer look in iTunes. Would anyone be interested in trying these changes?
Here are the changes to the G-Force preferences file mentioned in my earlier post. I use iTunes so my file is named “Preferences (iTunes).txtâ€. I use Windows 7 so this file is located in “C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\SoundSpectrum\G-Forceâ€
STEP 1
Locate the file “To the Stars.txt†and open and replace all occurrences of “Suggested†with “Allâ€. My “To the Stars.txt†file is located in “C:\Program Files (x86)\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Themesâ€. Then save the file with the new file name “All Inclusive.txtâ€. It needs be saved in the same directory as “To the Stars.txt†file. After Incorporating the changes the file look similar like this:
About = ""
ColorMap.CategoryExpr = "+(All)"
FlowField.CategoryExpr = "+(All)"
Particle.CategoryExpr = "+(All)"
Sprite.CategoryExpr = "+(All)"
LastModified = 0x5165EC00
Locked = 1
ThemeName = "All Inclusive"
Version = 1
STEP 2
Incorporate BTT’s recommended changes to the “preferences†file. After making the changes save the file.
ColorMap.Slideshow.Interval.Duration = "11 + rnd( 10 )"
ColorMap.Transition.Duration = "4 + rnd( 10 )"
FlowField.Slideshow.Interval.Duration = "12 + rnd( 12 )"
FlowField.Transition.Duration = "4 + rnd( 10 )"
Particle.Duration = "20 + rnd( 15 )"
Particle.Slideshow.Interval.Duration = "20 + rnd( 15 )"
WaveShape.Slideshow.Interval.Duration = "12 + rnd( 10 )"
WaveShape.Transition.Duration = "4 + rnd( 10 )"
STEP 3
Incorporate the following changes to the “preferences†file
Audio.PCM.Smooth = 0.04
Audio.Response.Scale = 1.1
Particle.ConfigPrepTime = 5
Sprite.ConfigPrepTime = 5
Theme.StartupTheme = "All Inclusive"
WaveShape.ConfigPrepTime = 5
WaveShape.LineWidth.Offset = 0.1
WaveShape.LineWidth.Scale = "0.6 + (1.6 / rnd( 30 ))"
