zz Lines Settings Don't Work or Save

When attempting to adjust the settings for the "zz Lines" screensaver, settings do not affect the tiny preview image in the first settings window, nor the screensaver itself when clicking the "Preview" button. When returning to the second settings window, changes previously made are gone. I can only get a light gray line on dark gray background without antialiasing or smoothing.

  • Yes, unfortunately the "zz" screensavers were made in such a way that they try to store their settings not in the Windows Registry but in a separate text file in the same folder as where the screensaver is stored. Since that's usually C:\Windows and the screensaver does not have write access there, it doesn't work.
