MAT2 logo packs.

I downloaded and installed the logo packs in the default directory.
However I am unable to import the logos into the scr. Any assistance in using the logos will be much appreciated. Thanks.

If you want to run the logos you have to choose it from the dropdown list in the Misc section of the Clock tab, you can't have both at the same time.

Hi. I don't see any drop down list of logos when I did as you suggested. Is it because my scr is installed in D:\Programs\MAT2. Further help will again be much appreciated. Thanks again.

It's not a drop down list of logos, it is a drop down list that allows you to choose between Day Date Time/ Analog/ Calender/ Logo. Choose Logo and start your ss and it should display them in the crystal.

You should put the logos wherever you have installed the Aquarium. Realize that the installation folder is just a few text files and an uninstall script.

Logo pack

If u dl the zip-file with logos u have 2 unpack it. Save the png-files in the root directory where u have the Program.
Often C:/Program/SereneScreen/Marine Aquarium Time/
or C:Program Files/SereneScreen/Marine Aquarium Time/
or anything else but NOT where the MAT2.scr-file is(C:/Windows/System/)
If u put these .png-files in the proper place u should NOT import any logo.
The bmp-files can be imported and they can be saved anywhere on your computer.
If u imported a logo and u don't find the root dir search for logo.dat. This is a file that IS in the root dir and delete it if u dont want it to cycle with your png-files.

That's what i did. I unzipped the file C:Program Files/SereneScreen/Marine Aquarium Time/ but when i go into clock, import logo it brings up a box and where it says file type it says bmp...under look in marine aquaium time folder there's nothing there . since it's looking for a bitmap file . I must be doing something worng. when i go to c/program files/serenescreen/marine aquaium time the png files are there...

I have updated the instructions on the Logo Pack download page:

<DIV style="background-color: #00AAFF; border: solid 2px #CCCCCC; padding: 10px; color: #000000; width: 90%;">These logos <B>MUST</b> be installed in the same folder that you installed MAT2 into. This is typically<BR><B>C:\Program Files\SereneScreen\Marine Aquarium Time\</B></DIV><BR>
<DIV style="background-color: #FF2222; border: solid 2px #CCCCCC; padding: 10px; color: #000000; width: 90%;"><I>You <B>CANNOT</B> use the the <B>Import Logo</B> button in MAT2 to install these logos.<BR>The <B>Import Logo</B> button is for black-and-white BMP logos only.</I></DIV>

I've removed the ZIP files so that people will use the EXE. The EXE automatically installs in the correct place.

that's what I did. what I'm asking is ...mine cycles through all the logo's on my mat2...can you just have one logo to stay on the crystal? The instuctions are very clear and I did exactly what it said too. I'm not an amateur around computer. lol Thanks

You kept mentioning the "Import Logo" button which does not work with PNG logos. That is why I have improved the instructions.

MAT does not have a logo picker or any other way to control the logos except copying them into or deleting them from the installation folder. If you want 1 logo, drag just that logo into C:\Program Files\SereneScreen\Marine Aquarium Time\.

Not necessarily. For those who are comfortable with registry editing there is a workaround.

The location where MAT2 looks for logos is stored in the key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SereneScreen\MarineAqu ariumTime]

You can edit the value for "PluginDir" to point it to a different folder.
