DESCRIPTION
3D Desktop Aquarium Screen Saver... Watch as your monitor fills with water and real 3D fish begin to swim around the screen you were just working on!
Features Include:
- Real time 3D fish that don't just swim back and forth, but towards you and away from you, up and down. Like real fish!
- Uses realistic 3D fish models, not just flat 2D images like other screen savers do!
- Motion Sensor Tilting! If you have a laptop with a sudden motion sensor you can tilt it side to side and the water level will stay parallel to the ground!
- Dymanic underwater lighting. So if the surface of the water ripples, so does the refracted light!
- Download additional fish with ease! The registered version lets you download fish right into the screen saver from the Settings screen!
- You can select the background you want! From your wallpaper or a random image (jpg, png or gif files), as well as the option to capture the current screen.
- Select between warm and cold, salt water fish, and fresh water fish, or mix them all together! Remember virtual fish can all survive in the same virtual water!
- The fish's eyes move, so they now look around as they swim across your screen.
- Background Hum/Bubbling sound for that real aquarium atmosphere.
- Many options so you can customize it to your liking. With the full version, you can have as many as 40 fish swimming around at once, as long as your CPU can handle it!
- There are now 20+ different fish species available for the full version!

ANDYROGERS It is extremely frustrating to try and download new updated registered versions of this developer's products. I follow all the instructions on Rob's web site. I use my link supplied upon original payment. "The re-download limit for this item has been exceeded." is the message I get. So then I have to email the developer. When he replies, he has to reset the number of downloads - which eventually runs out again after one or two more upgrades - unless any attempt fails for other reasons. When that happens, your download count goes down again anyway. If I can get one good download of a new version, I generally don't have to re-download again until a new version appears. Sometimes, after a notification, I end up with an old version downloaded needlessly! Why can't other developers send registered users a link to a private web site, the way eCamm does it? Or some other system. This mess discourages me from purchasing any more of these Useless Creations.

WIIMAN217 HELP!! I downloaded the free trial and it looks AWESOME! Especially with the tilting on the MacBook, I'd say it's a buy for me. HOWEVER, when I initiate the tilting and reverse the way it tilts (I reversed it in order for the water-level to remain level across the screen, other wise it made no sense), the water level became uneven. The water level was elevated at the bottom right of my screen, making it uneven. I'd just like to know, is that a bug in the free trial, the full program itself, or a defect in the MacBook's SMS (Sudden motion Sensor)? I'd appreciate an answer to my question ASAP before I go ahead and buy the full version. Thanks!

ANDYROGERS Version 1.6 (registered) doesn't recognize all the fish. Hold on to your previous version. I sent email to the developer yesterday; no response yet.

FREDPDAVIS I purchased some time ago and even with updates, doesn't seem to work with OS X version 10.5.2 on my current iMac, MacBook Air or 15" MacBook Pro, all running the same system software. Was a great program when I originally bought it, wished it worked, really enjoyed the graphics.

MACUPDATE ADMIN Perhaps you should contact the developer via the developer's website, you might get the problem resolved.

FREDPDAVIS Got a very fast response from the developer. I realized I needed to click the small triangle in front of "Other" in the list and then the option for the program would be displayed. Works great on all my MacBook Air and iMac running 10.5.2.

HTGROFF I downloaded the update from 1.4 to 1.4.1 and the updated version says it's an Unregistered version. Version 1.4.1 only fixes bugs and, according to the developer's website, to update it says to go to the website as shown on your original receipt and click on the download/re-download link, which I did and I get an error message saying: "The re-download limit for this item has been exceeded. If you have questions about this error message, please contact" I tried re-installing my 1.4 version and just get an error message, so I assume I'll be without my full version (with a 3 fish limit) of 3D Aquarium Screen Saver unless I pay for it again.

HTGROFF I have contacted the developer and received an automated reply which directs me to various links on their website which keep sending me in circles.

HTGROFF Thanks, but that is the address I used and that's the address from whom I got the automated reply.

MACUPDATE ADMIN Drat. Well, maybe the developer will visit MU and see your post. Hopefully.

HTGROFF The developer did personally reply and reset the limit, so my screensaver is working once again.

DB I too paid for this fine SS some time ago.. but it is apparently extremely difficult to contact the dev. - half the links on the website deadend (inc. the FAQ !!) and the link to an upgrade (sent me via email lo these many moons ago) also goes nowhere. Very frustrating. There is a yahoo group but the activity is practically non-existent. At this time I would have to recommend against anyone new to this outfit getting involved... a pity really because they have some fine products, just no support to speak of. ie: tried to send an email -> deadend; tried to contact via yahoo group -> no go; tried the links sent to me and on the website -> un-uh, sorry charlie. frustrating to say the least.
