OS X License Installation
Step 1
Step 2
|
After purchasing a full license, you
will receive an e-mail containing your Pilot's license.
From the screensaver preferences, choose the Options button.
Copy and paste the license from the e-mail into the license field
(replacing the DEMO-LICENSE text).
|
Step 3
|
Hit the Install button. This will contact the Paper Pilots
server, download and install the latest version.

Uninstalling
Uninstalling should be as simple as selecting the screensaver
in the System Preferences and hitting the delete key:
- Go to the Screensavers section in the System Preferences
- Find the Paper Pilots screensaver (look in the Others section)
- Select it and hit the delete key
If hitting the delete key doesn't work, you can try holding the <Ctrl> key and selecting the screensaver with the mouse. This should bring up a menu:
If this still doesn't work, the screensaver can be uninstalled
manually. You should find the screensaver in the Library/Screen
Savers folder (either the system folder or your home folder depending on
how you installed it).

Frequently Asked Questions (OS X)
Multiple-Monitors
|
There are minor issues when trying to configure the screensaver on
multiple monitors under OS X. When you want to configure the
screensaver please either disable one monitor or temporarily turn
monitor mirroring on.
If you see poor performance on multiple monitors, turn off
FSAA (Full Screen Anti-Aliasing) in the Screensaver Options. Your
graphics card may not have enough RAM to run at full speed on more
than one monitor.

Can I run this on an older Mac?
|
The current version of Paper Pilots runs on both PPC and Intel Macs.
However, it requires technology which was only available in OS X 10.5.
An earlier version of Paper Pilots has support for OS X 10.4 and can
be downloaded here:

Why does my computer's fan start when the screensaver runs?
If you find the fan on your computer starts up when the
screensaver runs, this means that your computer is having a hard
time keeping up with the demands of the screensaver. There are a
couple of ways to fix this:
- In the Options (System Preferences), make sure
that the toggle button for "Highest Quality (FSAA)" is turned
off. This is the most probable cause for a busy
computer.
- If the computer is still busy, hit <Enter>
while the screensaver is running, go to the Global Settings
and change the Playback Speed to Chunky (15 FPS). This
will cause the screensaver to refresh the screen less
frequently (this option requires a
license to be
persistent).
|
Unexpected Activation
|
If the screensaver activates while you're working, please check
the "Hot Corners..." option in the System Preferences. It's possible
this might have accidentally been turned on, causing the
screensaver to activate when your mouse is moved to a corner of your
monitor.
