Excellent initiative - perhaps this is something that can become the norm?
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

That's the hope.

And if additional Prefixes are needed or some are not used, please let me know. I'm sure Jim would prefer if 5-9 were not needed.

If you previously reported a bug that I haven't fixed yet, please refresh my memory.  
Is this considered an "actual bug"? ... Or is it something we have to just live with, when using two monitors?

.... The only thing I've noticed so far is something I hadn't checked on before.....

The large drop in FPS that I reported about when a window is part on both screens, also happens when the whole window is moved across from the principle monitor onto the secondary monitor. .... Otherwise, it looks and behaves fantastically!

The drop in frame rate when moving a window across two monitors seems to be something that's out of my control.

Jim,

I had one other question about ver. 3, will it have a slider to adjust frame rates. It's great to reduce frame rates when left on for a long period. Keeps the processor from crashing from overheating.

Right now you can adjust the sleep amount of the Aquarium with a keyboard command. I guess in the final, it would be nice to have a slider.

I can make it crash.....

Jim,

I can routinely make it crash.

1. In fish setup, I clicked the all on button.
2. I clicked on the clearfin lion fish.
3. Clicked on the starfish, and was allowed to bump that up to 3.
4. Hit OK to restart.

Program Crashes....

EDIT: Sorry should of started by saying... I LOVE the new version!!!!
I can see the effort you put into it, and it will be worth every penny!

Thanks, I'll look into it. There's code in place to prevent more than one starfish, but somehow you're able to get around it.

I did a quick search, didn't see this posted.

There is a hole, trapezoid shape, under the jaw on the lionfish. I seem to remember this back in the early versions, around 2001~2002.

I won't be spending any time on the fish models, since I'm about to replace them with the new models.

"About to". That sounds close. Imminent even.

Everything on my list of 1000 items is imminent. Some are more imminent than others. Today I've been wasting away the hours trying to get the new web pages mocked up so that we can convince people to buy MA3 Beta. I use Dreamweaver to build my own fish-byte.com site, but it doesn't seem to work very well with Prolific's serenescreen.com site. There are missing pieces all over the place. Soooo, I got out Dreamweaver CS3, which I bought a year or so ago. It seems like it worked when I first installed it, but now it keeps trying to register itself (unsuccessfully). The Key Code comes up already filled in, but then it goes online and comes back telling me to phone someone. I don't do telephones.

Heya Jim,
I would certainly be willing to do some web development work for you if you wish?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Regards,
Neil

I'm almost done with this addition to the site. I've got the pages mocked up, just need to build them into HTML. It's frustrating to have spent all those hundreds of dollars on Web tools, and not be able to get into them.

Will those MA3Beta keys, you intend to sell, allow to run the Betas and the final MA3 without any limitations? When "yes" when and from where can we buy them?
Will you put there also an validation program to automatically check if the bought MA 2.6 key still working with 3.0?

People that bought full v2.6 keys recently will receive a free MA3 Key when they are available. When we start selling v3.0 Keys, they will be permanent Keys with no limitations, and will work for Beta versions and versions after the Beta test period. The only difference is that Beta versions will expire, since we don't want buggy software floating around out there.

What about Mac-version? Will the windows MA3 key work also for the Mac-version of the MA3 or not?

No, the Mac version is a whole separate issue.

possible Bug

I don't know the name of the coral. The brown branching coral( it's the tallest one).I've seen several of the fish swim through the branch that is farthest in the background.
