Install Instructions

Install Aerial as an App (recommended)

1. Disable any other screensavers you have installed.
2. Download the installer from the releases page on GitHub.
3. Run Aerial Setup.exe.
4. Wait for the configuration window to open, then configure any screensaver options you want like the list of videos to play, cache settings, and text overlays.
5. Check you system's screen & sleep setting to make sure your computer isn't turning off the display or sleeping before Aerial can run.

Install Aerial as a Windows Screensaver (.scr)

Installing via a .scr lets Windows handle the launching of Aerial, but prevents features like auto-update and keyboard shortcuts that installing the full app enabled.

1. Visit the releases page and download the .scr file for you system (x64 or ARM).
2. Right click on the .scr and click "Install" from the right click menu.
3. Wait for the Windows Screensaver Dialogue to open, and make sure Aerial is selected.
4. Click the "settings" button to select videos and change Aerial settings.

Using both the installed app and .scr is not supported or recommended
