The problem is, Marine Aquarium 2.6 and Marine Aquarium 3.0 barely share 1 line of code between them.

Marine Aquarium 2.6 was largely developed with Prolific coding on top of the platform that Jim Sachs created. They "rewrote" his program into a toolkit so they could make Goldfish, Sharks, Flags, etc. run on top of it. MA2.6 was written using DirectX 6 code and development kit.

Marine Aquarium 3 was written from scratch by Jim Sachs using DirectX 9 code and development kit.

So really the two have almost nothing in common other than the artwork.


I hate to point blame, but it just seems to me that this is a Skype issue and would guess that other screen savers are also affected.
