How to Install
Self Launching App
Download Aerial Setup 1.2.1.exe (or download the .zip and extract it) and run it. Aerial takes care of the rest. A configuration window will open where you can adjust the settings.
Windows Screensaver
Download aerial.scr, copy it to a folder where you won't delete it, right click, and click on install. Use the dialogue to configure settings.
Things to note
- Disable any other screensavers before installing
- Set your computer sleep settings to longer than the screensaver start time
- If you want your computer to download and cache the videos, you must set up the video cache manually
