Welcome All.

Just thought I'd break in the new area and welcome everyone. I hope you enjoy Goldfish Aquarium for Mac OS X. We've worked hard on it.

Features which are Mac first are:

1. Fish favorites
indicate which fish you like the most by giving them a higher star rating, which increases the likelihood that it will be selected as a random fish
2. Cycle random fish
any fish in the tank to fill random slots will be replaced with different fish periodically
3. Multiple monitors
run a separate Goldfish Aquarium on each monitor when using the screen saver, or run only one of them, it is your choice
4. Support for multiple monitors
Goldfish are very hungry little critters, and they REALLY like to consume CPU. If you have multiple CPUs then you can tell the goldfish to use them.
5. Layout flexibility -- do you have a 4:3 screen, but you want to see the wide tank? You can do that. Do you have a wide screen but you want to use the 4:3 tank? You can do that. Or you can tell the program to just use whichever tank comes closest to matching your screen. Do you want to letterbox your aquarium to fit your screen? Do you want it to stretch to fit your screen? Would you like it to stretch if a small stretch would do the trick, but letterbox if the stretch would be too big? You can do that too!

Soon to be downloadable by you!

Shouldn't this thread have a blue background?

Pic of widescreen background? Please?

How is this?

Cool.

Surferminn · 08-18-2004, 11:34 AM

yeah.

That's what some in the trade might call "cheating"!

Mr O'Connor - your 4th point: shouldn't that be entitled "Support for multiple processors?"
I'm just saying...
