INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL MANUAL FOR WINDOWS XP &
VISTA
DYNAMIC DESKTOP | 2.0
PREPARE YOUR COMPUTER IN ADVANCE OF INSTALLATION OF OVR3D:
1. Create a ‘Desktop’ Toolbar to permanently live in your Taskbar (required for Vista computers only – not necessary if you are using Windows XP)
o Place your mouse pointer on the Taskbar (the area at the bottom of screen anywhere between the bottom left-side Windows symbol and right-side clock). Right-click > pick ‘Toolbars’ > pick ‘Desktop’
o Done. This new ‘Desktop’ Toolbar is where your desktop icons will be found while you are in ‘OVR3D mode’ . When you are NOT in OVR3D
mode, desktop icons will remain on the desktop as normal
2. In your C: drive (or the Hard Drive you use as your main) create the following folder: ‘- OVR GALLERY’
o Note: you MUST include the ‘-’, and, the space directly afterwards. 1 space between OVR and GALLERY
o Place ‘- OVR GALLERY’ in the top-level of the C: drive (not in ‘Program Files’)
OVR3D Beta REQUIRES THAT BOTH OF THE ABOVE PROCEDURES BE COMPLETED AT THIS POINT, BEFORE YOU CONTINUE INSTALLATION
XP USERS #2 ONLY

We recommend Ebonite 2.0. Copy (ctrl-C) the Ebonite file from the CD and
place it into the following folder: c:/Program Files/winamp/skins
SETTING WINAMP OPTIONS
o You are now finished installing software
o IMPORTANT: before we begin, we must configure a few final settings for Winamp and
Milkdrop. To do that… find and double-click the new Winamp icon on your desktop… (yellow)
o Choose your new Winamp skin from the list (Ebonite 2.0, or Big Bento skins recommended)
SETTING WINAMP OPTIONS
o At this screen, we recommend you UNCHECK all of these options for
now (you may add them back at a later time)

o If you wish, you may enter your email address. We also recommend
you keep the ‘Anonymous Usage’ option ticked, but it is optional
SETTING WINAMP OPTIONS
o You are now finished setting Winamp options
o The program will configure itself for a few seconds. Next, Winamp
automatically opens up into the Media Player (and the particular Winamp
skin you chose)
CONFIGURING BIG BENTO SKIN
o This is your new Media Player (where you will soon control OVR3D, play
your music, etc)
o We are looking at the ‘Big Bento’ skin right now, if you chose Ebonite 2.0
as your skin, please skip this section
CONFIGURING BIG BENTO SKIN
o Many of the controls will be familiar to you, however there are a few areas of interest:o RED – Load music (adds music to your current playlist)
o YELLOW – Extend playlist (creates more visible area to see upcoming music)
o GREEN – Show/Hide more information about the song, artist, etc. (internet required)
CONFIGURING EBONITE 2.0 SKIN
o When you first see Ebonite 2.0, it is spread randomly (messily) on your desktop.
o Many of the controls may be not be familiar to you at first glance:
o RED – You may click on the ‘X’ to close the Ebonite controls (you can change them at a later time)
o YELLOW – Your EQ. Change the bars to your taste, click the ‘ON’ button, then ‘X’ to close
o GREEN – THE MIDDLE BUTTON (2nd, of 3) shows different Ebonite 2.0 formations. Change to taste.
CONFIGURING EBONITE 2.0 SKIN
o You can move individual areas of the Ebonite 2.0 Media Player to look and work in
harmony, as in the above example
o IMPORTANT NOTE: To double the size of the Media Player (circled in red), right click on the player
itself, then > WINDOWS SETTINGS > SCALING > 200%. This is often necessary for larger screen
resolutions
CONFIGURING EBONITE 2.0 SKIN
o We recommend something similar to the above as the ideal Ebonite 2.0 Media Player layouto RED – ‘Now Playing’ section. For ease, we recommend that you leave the setting on ‘LOCAL MEDIA’
o YELLOW – ‘Media Library’, the area where you store your music for easy playing access
o GREEN – the ‘Playlist Editor’, the temporary list where your music will ultimately come from, played
from the top to the bottom in order, or shuffled – as you choose
CONFIGURING EBONITE 2.0 SKIN
o Add music or videos to your Music Library by simply dragging
individual files or entire music folders and dropping them into the Media
Library section of the Media Player (circled in yellow in the previous slide)
CONFIGURING THE COLOR OF YOUR EBONITE 2.0 SKIN
o Change the color of your Ebonite 2.0 player by:
o Right-clicking the player itself > RGBColorChanger
o NOTE: Until you get more familiar with Media Player layout, a good habit to get
into is to use the areas circled in yellow above as your regular ‘right-click spot’
CONFIGURING MILKDROP / OVR3D
o We are NOW at the most critical configuration area of all – setting MilkDrop to work with OVR3D
o Go to the Option screen of Winamp (as above), then > Visualizations > ‘SELECT’ plug
