Googintosh Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I hate screensavers. I set mine to blank. But this is really good. I'm going to use it.

StartMeUp Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Outstanding work! IMO, it's as nice or nicer than SereneScreen's offering, and uses far less resources. Great job! Totally better than SereneScreen. SS is so dates and not very realistic compared to Dream Aq.

Googintosh Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I just noticed the fishies dont render shadows beneath them. Maybe in a future version? :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/410514-my-new-aquarium-screensaver-give-it-a-try/page/6/#findComment-586959164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesangel Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 wow this looks absolutely awesome! Even more fabulous with a black monitor..the whole black background and all. I like. :D My son got a little carried away feeding the fish and an error popped up afterward. Other than that it's working great on this end.

spiralmonkey Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 I like it. But I sellected Blank screen and now it doesn't work at all :( How can I change it back? (uninstall didn't work) :cry: if you've got a blank screen, hit ENTER and the menu should come up (just like the regular tank). Then go to aquarium settings -> change tank etc...

JamesCherrill Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Installs fine and looks great. Only problem is it doesn't fit my standard 17 inch LCD (1280x1024), leaves ugly black bars above and below.

gshapiro Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Remember the old DOS simulation called EL-Fish? Since those good old days I haven't seen a similar product for Windows. ScreenSavers are a dime a dozen. Why not produce another EL-Fish for Windows? Got to love those mutant fish. :D On a technical note I did manage to get some of the fish 'blending' together when I went into fullscreen mode. Or perhaps they were mating? Group sex perhaps? :) On a personal note I think the fish are more realistic in Marine Aquarium 2, although the backgrounds are phenomenal in DA. Happy New Years everyone.

CDog Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Wow, that's brilliant :yes: I can't wait to see this develop further - it already feels much more real than Sachs' Marine Aquarium and I've been loyal to that for years :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/410514-my-new-aquarium-screensaver-give-it-a-try/page/6/#findComment-586972190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

StartMeUp Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Just did an autoupdate and my screensaver got updated. Very cool. (Y) What would also be cool, set the bubbles in the middle of the tank? Maybe. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/410514-my-new-aquarium-screensaver-give-it-a-try/page/6/#findComment-586973506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesangel Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I had trouble getting the autoupdate to work when the screensaver was running. It would say it needed to update but would never connect to the site. It did connect fine going through the display properties though. Then it said 'access to dreamaquarium.com denied' but it did look like it updated everything when I checked again. lol I have recomended this to a lot of friends. Keep up the good work!
