With Anfy for Anfysaver

Anfy Java is a Java wizard that helps to configure Java applets and write HTML pages. The Anfy home page is at http://www.anfyteam.com. On installation, Anfy automatically sets up the screensaver Anfysaver into the Windows\System folder. (Anfy automatically sends it to the Windows\System32 folder in Win2K and WinXP). Now you are ready to make your own screensaver.
 
Creating Java Pages With Anfy

Once you have installed Anfy, use the Anfy Wizard and tutorials to explore the many Anfy Java applets and options available. The Anfy Wizard utility will write the HTML page featuring the Java applet and image of your choice and give you the opportunity to preview the applet and fine tune it. When you tell Anfy to set the new page as a screensaver, Anfy copies the page and related files to the Windows\System (or Windows\System32) folder and names the page "anfysaver.html". It is this page that the Anfysave.scr opens for the screensaver.

Setting up your own Java pages as a screensaver

If you wish to set up a screensaver showing several pages in succession, take care to rename each page so that it is not written over each time Anfy creates a new one. Then edit each page in Notepad to insert the following metatag. Between the <HEAD> </HEAD> tags, use the metatag:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"
CONTENT="20; URL=pagenamex.html">
to force the change from one page to another. The CONTENT number sets the number of seconds before the page changes. Replace the "x" with the next page number in the series you want to run. On the last page, be sure to refer back to the first page to continue the cycle.

For example:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
 <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"
CONTENT="1; URL=page1.html">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>NO content on blank page named anfysaver.html .</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
  
<HTML>
<HEAD>
 <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"
CONTENT="20; URL=page2.html">
</HEAD>
 <BODY>
<P>Your content on page1.html.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
  
<HTML>
 <HEAD>
 <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"
CONTENT="20; URL=page3.html">
</HEAD>
 <BODY>
<P>Your content on page2.html.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
  
<HTML>
 <HEAD>
 <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"
CONTENT="20; URL=page1.html">
</HEAD>
 <BODY>
<P>Your content on page3.html,
which loops back to page1.html.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
