Window Mode Problem

xtremeleafan · 03-24-2004, 07:12 PM

I have an issue with not being able to have the SS start in it's own window. It only will if I use the "test" feature but it will not start as a SS in the window mode . Any suggestions ?

The Aquarium won't launch in a window after a specified period of time.

The "start in a window" only works when you double-click on the Aquarium or use it as a Test.

It wouldn't be a very good screen saver if it only animated part of the screen, would it?

OK, I guess I just misunderstood the capabilities of the product. I assumed you could leave in window mode as long as you wish Instead the SS came on after the specified time I had set.I assume you COULD do that if you turned off the SS and set it to window instead and used it while working with other applications at the same time ? (Simple enough solution I should have thought of before posting) Whats that expression Homer Simpson says after he realizes a miscue ? doh

Turn off the screen saver since you are exclusively using it in a Window.
