IdleWild Screen Saver and the Always On Top Command

ID: Q83378

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

The IdleWild screen saver included in the Windows Entertainment Pack versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, does not hide applications that use the Always On Top command if this option is active. The chosen screen saving display appears, but the application continues to display over the screen saver.

This problem occurs with Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 applications.

MORE INFORMATION
