Dimming, then going Dark in the Tank!

07-16-2003, 04:40 PM

Just got Marine Aquarium 2 for OS X the other day. I am running it on my iBook with the lastest version of X. Install was fine and it looks great as a screensaver. My question is this-the screensaver will run for a few minutes normally before dimming and eventually going completely black. When I move the mouse it seems to "wake up" but I want to see my fish all the time! What causes this and what can I do to fix it?

Turn off Automatic lights.

Use the arrow keys to adjust lights manually.

Check your Energy Saver settings. You may have the system set to sleep after a given interval, which will dim the display.
