Not a flame, but some suggestions for all who add screen savers.
1. Ultra-cleanliness is essential. Clean the screen and around the edge of
the screen. Use something like Klear-Screen or Brain Wash. Canned air for
that final dusting of everything is also important. Wash your hands with
soap and dry thoroughly. White cotton gloves for handling photo negatives
would not be wasted on anything that covers your screen.
2. Work in a low dust area. Don't put your head over the clean screen, if
possible don't even breathe on it after cleaning.
3. All plastic covers will decrease sharpness and contrast to a certain
extent. When light refracts as it passes through from one medium to another
there will be a percentage of scatter. That's one of the laws of physics,
and it is almost impossible to get around it.
4. The best covers were the last couple of batches of "The Barrier" by
RoadRunner. Unfortunately that material is no longer available. They
actually improved the feel of the screen and used some surface texture that
didn't hurt the contrast and had almost no reflection. Mark is doing the
best he can.
5. Smile and enjoy your Newt any way you can.
