Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Doodle's ScreenSaver for OS/2 and eComStation v2.0.

Doodle's ScreenSaver for OS/2 and eComStation v2.0. This is an Open Source 
Screen Saver for OS/2 and eCS. It's integrated into the WPS, replaces the 
old Lockup Desktop facility, and can cooperate with third party applications.

Currently in ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/dssaver_v20.exe
Source: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/dssaver_v20_srcbin.zip
Eventually will move to ftp://netlabs.org/pub/dssaver

Changes:
  * v2.0 : 2008.08.18.
   - The screen saver settings page now reports 180 Dialog Units as its minimal
     height, so most of it should be visible even on newly installed systems.
   - The screen saver modules are now running in a separate process when they
     are started for real saving (but not when they are running for preview
     mode). This should help to solve those kinds of memory and resource leaks
     on which we have no control (e.g. leaks in DIVE subsystem).

Please note that if you want to use the Cairo saver modules, they require 
Cairo v1.2.4 Runtime or newer to be installed first. It can be installed from
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/Cairo

Do you think you could do better skins for the Pretty Clock module?
Here is the description for the skin file then:
