Just a few things
I have 3 things I would really like to suggest / hope for, but first a big THANK YOU for making a new one for snow leopard.
1) The main, most prominent piece of coral, is really unappealing to me. It's jagged and harsh and doesn't really suit "serene" at all. The last one had some great coral pieces. Is there a way to bring those back, or is there going to be a way to edit that out? If I could stop the pan action at a spot of my choosing then I could set one monitor to one side of it and the other to the other side so it's not visible. 2) The lighting adjustments are not an option. I am assuming that this is being worked on and just not ready yet. If not please add mine to the side of please do! The lighting set up gave it a dynamic depth that this does not have yet and really a large part of what gave it it's realistic quality and attractiveness. 3) Add one more to the let the starfish climb the walls tally! He had so much personality and I miss him/ I'm very glad about the new things coming that have been mentioned. I really missed this on my computer! -S |

While V 3 is a "beta", it appears to be a very stable beta and, for the majority of us, it works quite well and impresses others when they see it. Sure, it will be nice as the planned improvements unfold, but for the present it is very functional and somewhat serene or calming, as an aquarium should be, in my opinion.
Every month myself and another person conduct a one hour long "Q & A" session with our local PC User's Group, and I've been running MA 3 on the "big screen" - projected from my notebook PC on what I would guess is a screen at least 15 x 15 feet in size (or larger, since I've not actually measured it) - for the last 2 months as my screen saver. I'm getting a lot of "ohs" and "ahs" and "I want thats", so I can say without reservation that this screen saver is a winner. I feel certain that many of the members have taken the time to also install and enjoy it. Of course, I recommend that they buy it to get the additional fish and eliminate the need to type "testfish", so maybe some have. To all who are working on this, and especially Jim Sachs, keep up the good work, your efforts are appreciated. |
Thanks, Mr. Who!
|
I thought he was on first. ;)
|
hehehehehehe
|
What?
|
He's on second. ;) :)
|
I don't know.
|
THIRD BASE!!!
PS. Nice join in John. :TU: :) |
I decided to sit this one out....... this time! ;)
..... Been there, done that!... :) ... (Somewhere around 2003 I think!) |
Yeah, but the classics never get old. ;)
|
Who did I say is playing third base?
|
What?
|
Who is on first...........
Stop changing the players around |
But who was the right fielder?
|
That's a good question, I don't beleive that his name was ever mentioned.

Jim... please, I beg of you... give us a sample fish to dissect soon :D
|
How gruesome - I think you've mis-read the whole SereneScreen thing :)
Anyway, real life has interfered with working on the Aquarium for a couple of days. My family is out of the country, and I'm remodeling the computer room. I got a pair of oak computer desks for $10 each at a garage sale last weekend. I'm hoping to get everything organized when I put it all back together. Should be a welcome change from the foot-high stack of papers I've been accumulating for the last few years. |
Good for you Jim . It's nice to take a break and do something different once in a while .
|
Yes it is.
|
Hi! Just another MA fan here from the good old days who just woke up and realized that there's a new version!!! Totally blown away. Thanks so much for taking it to the next level. I'm really pleased and very impressed. (and hoping for background colour adjustment for the Mac version soon!)

Before you organize everything (maybe I'm too late) consider this: one of the most liberating things I ever did was one day long ago, when I was still a practicing physician, I called my wife and told her I would not be home for dinner until I had cleaned out my large old-fashioned oak desk which was bulging with years of accumulated papers, journals, reprints and assorted junk. Bit by bit I analyzed and reviewed each piece, deciding whether or not to throw it out. A couple of hours later, I had found that I had thrown out EVERYTHING! There was nothing left and my desk was pristine. If you don't use or read something for many months or years, you probably never will. https://www.feldoncentral.com/forums...tor/smilie.gif Cheers, Bob N. |
Good advice :)

Off-topic, but Just a quick update on my comment above regarding the remodeling of my computer room. My daughter and I had picked out a dark burnt-orange color for the walls, but after living with it for a couple of days now, I find the color nerve-jangling. I'm about to head over to Home Depot to get a different color.
|
You need a nice Serene Screen blue... very soothing:D
|
Already got that in the living room and dining room. Looking for something different in the computer room. It's got to be something my mother will like, since she will eventually be moving into this house.

Why in version 3 change light?
hi, my friend, why in version 3, the light is more "clear", why i can´t turn off light? F1 and F3 have hight level of light, in beta v 2... i can turn off light Background and forward.
thank´s for you work and sorry for my expresion (i only read english but i can´t write it) Hola, amigo, porque en la version 3 las luces son mas claras, porque no puedo apagarlas? F1 y F3 tienen niveles de luces muy claras, en la version beta 2... podía apagar las luces de atras y adelante. gracias por tu trabajo y disculpas por mi expresion (solo leo el ingles pero no puedo escribirlo) Gustavo. Argentina. |
Bonjour Monsieur Jim Sachs,
Je me suis inscrit sur le site «SereneScreen», depuis des années j'ai en ma possession plusieurs écran de veille;(Depuis le 1 ere que vous avez créé). Ils sont tous très jolis mais ce dernier «Marine Aquarium 3» bien que pour l'instant il soit encore sous la forme «Beta» est une splendeur ... je remercie tous les participants a ce programme et j'espère avoir très vite la chance d'avoir le programme définitif :). Bravo a monsieur Jim Sachs pour cette merveille. J'espère être prévenu des évolutions futures, Merci par avance. Jean-Pierre |
Not sure what the question is from Argentina, and I don't speak French at all. Do we have anybody in the Forum who can help with these two messages?

Welcome goosfancito,
Marine Aquarium 3 - MA3 (what you are referring to as "version 3") is a work of art that is still in development - hence the "Beta" label and the feature to raise and/or lower the light to the point of blackness is not yet available. Marine Aquarium 2.6 is not a Beta version - but a polished and finished product that is no longer in development, so you have more control over the lighting. More features will be available within MA3 as the program evolves. Be patient and check back for updates. Thank you goosfancito, for attempting to communicate in English. Lots of folks don't even bother to try and you did very well! :TU: Rob ~ God Bless ALL ~ |
I'm 99% sure that's Spanish , as my French is pretty good . ;)
|
The Spanish is just the stuff in English written in Spanish.
Hence "gracias por tu trabajo" -> "Thank you for your work" vs. "you work" in the English bit. John |
Gustavo is asking why the lights don't have the same level of control (totally black to totally light green) that they did in MA2. I think Rob answered sufficiently. ;)
And the Frenchman is just saying that MA3 is the best yet. :) |
Oh I hadn't seen the french message . Desole mes amis . I swear sometimes that if I turn sideways you can see daylight through my ears , lol .
|
You're not alone!..... the Frenchman's message was not there when I saw your 767 post. :eek:
|
Takes time to approve posts.
|
MA3 is wonderful! Thank you! Thank you!
I must confess I didn't read all the posts so forgive the probable duplication - I have always loved the crystal. Can I assume that the final version will have the etched look as an option? |
