openserenescreenbuy.js That file is created if you click on the "Visit Website" button. As I recall, in earlier versions, it may have had a different name. |
I don't really think the "readme" should get so technical with the "behind the scenes" stuff.
I did notice that "js" file - actually two of them: openserenescreen.js openserenescreenbuy.js As long as the readme explains to folks how to get CanonGuitar.sgt (and you helped me with that) back in the playlist, I thnk we are OK. Of course, I'm not the final decider, so we shall see what is to be seen. |

http://www.serenescreen.com/ Footnote: as noted elsewhere, uninstalling MA3 does not get rid of any files from this folder. |
That's all Installer stuff, which is a total mystery to me.

John.. just where will this "read-me" that you are working on be available?
|
Ralph -
The plan, secret it is not, is for me to email it to Jim though our respective email services. He will then open the new "readme.txt" file and be totally amazed with its wondrous content. The remainder of the plan has not been revealed to me, perhaps because it is under a "need to know" basis. I do suspect that at some unspecified time in the future, you will be able to read a new "readme.txt" file provided somehow in coordination with the MA 3.1 release. How much that file resembles what I send to Jim, other than possibly the file name, remains to be discovered. I am not at liberty to divulge anything further on this topic. JW |

Anyone running the demo version? Does it limit one to only the top row of fish? Is there a limit to the number of total fish in the tank? Other than having to type "testfish" to enter the settings, are there any other limitations? Thanks in advance. |
Limited to top row of fish.
Need to type in "testfish" when starting the program or entering Settings. The normal 30-fish limit on total fish. |
Thanks Jim.

John why not run a demo version yourself and then play with all the settings at your will.
Start > Run > regedit (type it in) and hit enter; open the branch HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SERENESCREEN\MARINEAQUA RIUM3 select it, right click and rename it (I just put an exclamation mark in front of the name). Do the same with the branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\SERENESCREEN\MARINEAQU ARIUM3. Close regedit and open /start MarineAquarium3. You will find it to be a "demo" version (it will have your music selection though and color clock settings), rename those if you want a true new demo. When finished... open regedit, scroll to both branches, delete the newly made MarineAquarium3 entries and rename back to the original name to get your non beta back. |

Thanks for that (info on reverting to a "demo" version), Ralph.
I'll keep that in my back pocket if I need to do it. |

Limited to the top row of 6 different fish. Plus the starfish * Defaults to 3,3,2,2,2,2 for a total of 14 fish in the tank. Can be adjusted (with "random fish" taken from the top row, or with "all on" or "all random" again taken from the top row) to the maximum of 30 fish in the tank. * The Starfish can be on or off, and doesn't count against the limit of 30 total fish. Other "testfish" difference: Although it can be configured as your Screensaver (personalization), the Screensaver never starts. (Windows 7, at least). "Visit Website" button is labeled "Buy Full Version" That button generates the openserenescreenbuy.js file, and takes you to the top page http://www.serenescreen.com/ - and not to the "buy" page. There may be other differences, but that's all I found. |
Offline for a while. Computer down again.

Sounds like you need: https://www.feldoncentral.com/Sachs/...achsremove.reg or at least: https://www.feldoncentral.com/Sachs/...ma3_remove.reg |
@ Dale -
Thanks for that additional info on the "testfish" version regarding the "Visit Website/Buy Now" button and for confirmation on the fish limits. |

So far, only Ralph and myself have confirmed the second-instance problem . If therefore, (as I suspect), it does not apply to any single-monitor systems, then I think we could safely let the subject drop. - I can't think of any situation or time where we might want two instances of a MA3 window running at the same time. - In addition, if Jim is not running multi-monitors, then he has no hope of tracking it down...... If indeed it needs tracking down. Also, MA3 is working as intended on my other single-monitor PCs, (ie a second-instance window is prevented from starting if another window is already running). - So unless any single-monitor user can report otherwise, then it seems reasonable to accept that this is just another quirk that will only arise where a second monitor is present. However, - surely the intended ReadMe/User Manual should cover multiple screen use? - MA3 is after all, specifically designed to run on at least two screens. - So perhaps a description something along the lines of the following should be included.... On multi-monitor systems, any attempt to start a second-instance window of MA3 will not fail, (as intended), but is likely to cause a locked second image, requiring MA3 to be closed down in order to clear the locked image. - Additionally, it is recommended that the size and shape of any MA3 'window' must be contained within the screen area of the Primary monitor only, if normal running is to be achieved. - If any part of the window should encroach onto a second screen, then the FPS will drop dramatically. - Setting-up which monitor is to be the Primary monitor, is therefore also important. But as stated by Morgan... Quote:

Isn't that two entirely different subjects, connected only by multiple monitors? And are they thoroughly understood?

And, whatever the restriction, does it apply to all multi-monitor systems? Or just some? Frankly, if the behaviors (or "bugs") are not thoroughly understood, I'm not sure they should be documented. But perhaps you and Ralph do completely understand what's happening, and I'm just not reading well. |
I can only help you to understand more by repeating what I have already said. - I suggest you carefully re-read it again.
Are you saying that because you do not understand it, then it must not be documented? .... That, IMO, is being rather shortsighted. |
