Aquarium Desktop

I just started looking at Aquarium today, and boy is it nice.

Here's what I'd love to see. Make it an active desktop on OS X. Loads at startup and then I can have fish swimming around behind my desktop icons. That would be utterly slick.

There's no need for them to do it -- just go download the *freeware*

xBack from Gideon Softworks, and choose "Marine Aquarium" from the Savers menu...

Not the same idea. What I would love to see (and since my original post, I bought Aquarium) is the Aquarium to be the desktop pattern, with all mi icons and windows running over it.

Jim is strongly against icons and windows running on top of the Aquarium. You won't see any supported methods of doing it on this forum.

Ok. That was the answer I needed. It's really too bad because that would really put the slick meter past 11.
