(Please bear with my english, I'm a norwegian) I just registered in this forum after a few days of reading and trying the demoversion. My impression so far is just WOW ! In all my years as a computer user I never mind the option to have a screensaver, coz the few I saw I didn't like much.... But this was different ! I come across it when i looked at the net for animated fish for another project and was just blown away for the realism of this aquarium screensaver.
Welcome to the forums!
I want to order but have a few question first;
1. Is there any overview anywhere here over the different kind of fish and other creature to add ?
The guide to the fish is here:

You can read about the coral varieties here:

2. I liked the logo option, and would like to know if there is any possibilities to add another crystal inside the tank, and so run a different logo on that one ? If not, is this option planned for future updates? This option would imo be awsome, for kind of a lively exebition show of our favourite pics of family and friends...
There's just the one crystal and I don't know of any plans to add a second. You can add as many images, logos, etc. as you want to rotate on the crystal.
3. Is there any option to erase or adjust the fading sequence of the logos when they shift? If not, this should be an option for the future.....
You should be able to change the order of the logos to set the sequence.
4. Any posibillities for "skinning" of the fish? It would be a "must have" whit this option, to "create" our own "look" for the fish and corals and exchange the result by uploading and downloading new "skin" files....
I'd like to see this feature, as I have many ideas for fish that could be added. But the fear is people will make extremely ugly or silly fish.
5. The backgound; As I understand it, it is only possible today to change colors.... Why not implement a feature to insert kind of a wallpaper as the background ? Could even be a animated wallpaper... That would just be to awesome?
Another feature I'd like to see, but I don't think there are any plans.
6. Natural looking 3d animation gif files or bik video files of fish is used in other user applications. Will buyers of Serene aquarium in the future get acces to files like that, created using the fish only on a transparent background. That would be awesome also, coz I'm involved in a game where users can create scenery and objects and insert animated bink video files to create life in the game....
In 10 years this is the first time I've seen this suggestion. Hmm. You can set the background color to an easy-to-matte color and then record the animation with FRAPS and use it in something else. The animation of the fish is cyclical enough that you could get a good "loop".
