Sherlock Shimeji (desktop animation download)

Description

I created a downloadable Shimeji set. For those of you who don't know what that is, its like a screen saver only its of small characters that literally walk around your desktop while you use your computer (...like a digital pet) which is cute. This one: Walks about, drinks tea, texts, crawls around, opens doors, uses an elevator, turns into Khan (from Star Trek), and... Talks to himself. :)

Edit: Works on Windows 7, which is what I have so not sure what other operating systems work.

How to download:

:bulletblue: Go here: (  :bulletblue: Scroll down to "Regular download" click that.
:bulletblue: Then click "Download the file" (after it may ask you to repeat type the letters in the box if it does go ahead and do that)
:bulletblue: Then click "Download the file in regular mode"
:bulletblue: When it prompts you to "Open" or "Save" click save - put it where you want, mine is on my desktop.

How to open:

:bulletblue: If you are not familiar with rar zip folders, when you double click to open and unzip the file you may see a small window "Winzip". If so "Use Evaluation Version".
:bulletblue: You will then see the file titled "Shimeji_Sherlock by Jesshavok" which you can then drag and drop to wherever you want it (desktop is again an easy place).
:bulletblue: Then double click the folder, inside the folder you will see a file right there that says "Shimeji" with a picture of a little TV screen for an icon, that's the application, and it opens the Shimeji's to run around on your desktop so double click that. Or if "Application" Shimeji file does not open it for you, try double clicking the "Executable Jar File" titled "Shimeji". ;)

Shimeji Options:

When you have the application open you will see a little purple and black icon on your desktop tool bar "SH" (for Sherlock Holmes obviously), and if you right clicks that it pulls up options.
1. Adds another Shimeji to your screen.
2. Makes all Shimeji's run towards your mouse and sit down.
3. Deletes Shimeji's but one.
4. Puts any windows your Shimeji's devilishly minumised, back where they were. (you can always do this on the actual window as you would normally)
5. Closes the Shimeji program.

Art and animation by me.
Coding retrieved from the lovely :icondreambeing: As my first set of shimeji's I used her method of a bit of a template to get me through creating my own. Now that I have the hang of it I will most likely do more in the far future, some of which will be of my OC's. Right now though I have to direct my attention on solely my comic book work, so this is likely the last set for a long time. And also most likely my last bit of Sherlock fan art (fan art set conclude).
