I always have my favorite Teletext pages available from my desktop. Clicking links
on my active desktop, opens previously saved teletext pages, because these
are on my desktop they are always available, so I don't have to run VTPlus
and type in the relevant page numbers first!
A link to a VT Plus script file is placed in the Programs/Startup folder
on my PC's start menu
At boot-up the VT Plus scripts runs gets my favorite
pages and saves them as pictures to my hard disk (the script closes VT Plus 32
as well) Tip in program options set the maximum
page age to 600 minutes this will allow the script to execute much quicker if,
like me, your PC is a little ropy, and you reboot more than once a day, since
it will use the pages in it's internal cache. Tip
close VT plus when it is minimise, it will then start in the minimised state when
the script runs and not clutter your desktop.
My desktop wall paper
is set to a simple HTML file, using active desktop. The HTML file uses javascript
to pop up other HTML files the same size as the teletext pages, but without any
of the menu buttons, scroll bars etc.
These "windows" simply
display the teletext picture (saved by the VT Plus script), clicking the picture
links to the next subpage etc.
That's it! You can download
all the files you need to get you up and running quickly, but you will need
to change the file locations in webwallpaper.htm
and htmlscript.vts to the directory you
save the rest of the files to, since these two files do not use relative paths.
If
you find this site useful, or know of other uses/software for your WinTV card
