I really don't see how dropdown menus are more intuitive. You have to basically pick the fish twice.

And Lightfeather, I agree with not changing for the sake of changing, but changing for a good reason. Bottom line is, for 640x480 users, SOMETHING is going to have to change. Jim wants to bring the # of fish on-screen to 9 or 10, plus he wants to add pictures of the fish. Can't do it on 640x480 without something that scrolls.

I modeled this Settings panel closely after the #1 screen saver series of all time, After Dark by the now defunct Berkeley Systems. (if you're wondering, the less elegant but otherwise free screen savers from Microsoft basically killed them off--which will soon be a common tale now that XP is here).

All of their screen savers had settings like this, with the options of Never, Seldom, Often, Always for various items.
