This site is under construction as FAQ's start coming in... ( or as I make them up... ) Q. I downloaded the Always-On-Top Freeware Version 1.5, but I can't change the picture or the sound. When it first opens, there is a menu button, but it doesn't seem to do anything. How do I work it? Thanks. - - Carolyn K. A. Once the wav tune has finished playing, you can position the mouse cursor on the lower border of the image form until the cursor changes to a vertical <--> shape. Then you drag the lower border down to expose the Menu button and click on it. That will bring up the Menu Page where you can change the image or wav file. - - S.T. Q. Hi, I need your help! After I downloaded your program, I decided to spring a surprise on my BF. I took a digital snapshot of him sleeping in the dark. When I loaded his image on your program, it gave me a fright. His eyes had turned bloody-red - like those of a vampire! Oh, I forgot to mention that...he always sleeps with his eyes wide open! ( It's true, Rob, don't deny it... ) Now I can't look into his eyes without the shivers, and I feel like running away from him. (Only joking, sweetheart...) Can you help? - - Scarlet D. A. The phenomenon you described is well known as the "red-eye effect" in flash photography. It results from direct light being reflected from the retina of the eye. The effect can be removed, or rather, filtered out using an image-editor (like PhotoPaint). First, you lasso his eyes tightly, one at a time. Then select an appropriate red filter and dab on his eyes. Next, you have to adjust the hue, carefully or his eyes can suddenly turn greyish-white - into those of an alien offspring. That'll surely scare you off! - - S.T. Hot Tip! Do you know that you can run multiple instances of AOT? I ran the program 4 times and now have 4 images of my sweetheart displayed aot, one at each corner of the screen! I thought it was cool, but my GF thinks it's gross. Anyways, just to let other users know... - - Jokero G. C. I says you can do better with the deluxe version of AOT. With it you can display multiple images of your sweetheart in different poses, and in a time-delay loop. She'll find this most endearing... - - S.T. Q. How to obtain a digital image of your sweetheart? A. You can use a scanner to scan a photograph of your sweetheart and save it as a digital image (in jpg, gif, or bmp format). Or get hold of a digital camera and take a snapshot of him/her. Then use an image editor (like Photo-Paint) and resize the image, skew it, do touch-ups, apply filters, put in some special effects, etc. Once you're happy with the image, load it into the program and drag-and-drop the image anywhere on the screen. Q. How to get a wav file? A. You can select and download lots of free wav files on the Web. Do a search for "free wav files" with one of the major search engines (like Google.com). Then use Windows Media Player or Sound Recorder ( Start \ Programs \ Accessories \ Multimedia \ ) to edit the tune, shorten it, add echo effects, etc. If you have a favourite MP3 tune, you can use one of the many free music file converters to convert the MP3 file to a wav file. You can also use MIDInight Express to convert a midi file to a wav file. Q. What if I don't have a sweetheart? - - I, Anger. A. Not yet? Don't worry, be patient. Take your time and choose, carefully. Meanwhile, you can always use Dear Mom to fill in the space. What about Grandpa, Grandma or Uncle Prize who always brings you precious gifts? How about your long-lost Dad? Wouldn't you like to show how much you miss him whenever there's homework to do? Please threaten to disperse his spirits if he doesn't get you the deluxe version of AOT for your next birthday. Tell him it's all for a good cause - I've got a community of 102 canines, a crouching tiger and a hungry dragon to feed! Dad not an animal lover? Delete him. Download a fully-armoured Gladiator instead, or a dud Croc, or your alter-ego TV comic, Jennifer Lopez, Britney, one of the Charmed girls, some demon... Maybe you want someone real inspirational? Like Abraham Lincoln, Martin L. King, Madam Curie, Charles Darwin or Bill Gates? Someone less folksy, more talented? Hmm..err.. hmm.. aha!.. Zorro with the Lightning Whip! A quick whack should get me started. Come on, you can do it! Have some fun, instead of contemplating suicide or mass murder all day long... - - S.T.
