SS3.1 to fit screen with no scroll

[EastCoastCreative]

Is there a hidden key combo to have ss3.1 go from scroll to fit screen (for teh resolution of a display) right now the only option is to turn off scroll but the entire tank is still designed for 2 monitors

Welcome to the forums!

As you know, Marine Aquarium 3 and 3.1 are designed for two widescreen monitors. The only way I know to view the entire Aquarium on one screen (as a narrow ribbon) is to run in a window. Press F when the Aquarium is running.

hmmm that only take the screen to window mode it defeats the purpose and it's still the same a crop image of the entire screen

logically the option should be embedded into the program where a user opens the config panel and selects

1. single screen fit to
2. single screen scroll
3. dual monitor

Logically, people use it a screen saver or Aquarium simulator, and it "defeats the purpose" if the Aquarium is a narrow image on a mostly black screen.

The Aquarium provides you the options to run the Aquarium in a window. You can hide the title bar of that window. You can also "lock the camera" of the Aquarium to any desired section of the Aquarium.

This is not like a widescreen film where the director's intent is for you to see the entire image at one time. Jim designed Marine Aquarium 3 to allow you to move the camera to your favorite part of the tank and leave it there, or set it to auto-pan. If you want to see the entire Aquarium at all times, that's possible with two 16:9 widescreen displays.

The number of users who would choose to run the Aquarium as a thin ribbon (on a 1600 x 1200 screen, it would use just 1600 x 450 of the display with 2/3 of the screen black at all times) could be counted on one hand. Yet we'd probably receive several tech support e-mails per month from users who accidentally enabled this feature.
