Welcome to the Forum, jbits. Thanks for the comments. Though I would like to find a way of putting in fish shadows, they are not a big priority. If you look at a real marine aquarium, the light is so diffuse that the fish have to be nearly touching the floor in order to cast any noticeable shadow. The starfish, being right on the floor, does have a shadow. In that case, the shadow is actually part of the object, and that technique is difficult to use for the fish, since they may be separated from it completely.

Again Jim, just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you've done on this.

Still amazes me every time the screen saver kicks in. And on top of it, our cat seems to have taken a liking to MA3. She sat in front of the monitor the other night for half an hour (I kid you not) watching and trying to touch the fish.

Are there any plans to be able to change the background of the tank?
