Jim,
re: the location desciption of the Emperor Angelfish in the fishpicker; Although not a major point, but in keeping with your established standards of Excellence, it would be grammatically correct and consistent with the other entries if the COLON (preceeding 'Red Sea') was replaced with a COMMA. -Tom |

Right you are. It's a semicolon, should have been a comma. Fixed.

Oh, I know. I just didn't want you to think I didn't appreciate your effort.

I have also found that my frame rates are up in to the 50s now, were usually in the 30s. Jim

Just uploaded Beta 7i. http://www.fish-byte.com/MA3Beta.zip
Changes: Fish chart in Fish Settings Dialog box will now stretch to fit the window even if the user has changed the DPI in Windows' evil DPI Settings requester. Added a "Bubble Column" checkbox in Program settings to turn the bubble column on/off. The program now saves the chosen Sleep() time, but it has a lower limit of 1, not -1. I didn't want it to take over the whole system if someone accidentally left it at 0 or -1.

The bubble sound can be turned on with no bubbles on screen.

Yeah, I was debating whether to tie them together as I did in MA2. Some people use the sound to help them fall asleep, but might not want the visible column. I'm open to suggestions.

Seems silly to have sound with no bubbles. If they're trying to fall asleep, the bubbles shouldn't bother them anyway.

I was going to make the comment about the bobble sound without bobbles; but when I looked at one of me real aquariums I noticed that I here bobble noise from my filter but see no bobbles in the tank

I'm a scuba diver, and I've always liked the bubble sound without the bubbles; when the lighting is set right, it reminds me of diving in the Bahamas in shallow (15-20ft) water.

Here's a better argument for allowing the bubble sound without bubbles:
a) There are some (a non-zero number of) users that (for whatever reason, whether it seems silly or not) will want to have the bubble sound without the bubble column. b) Given that the program currently allows this, it's less work for Jim to leave the capability (as is), than to get rid of it! ![]() ~Ralph S. |

Generally speaking I would figure that "more" options has the capabilities of satisfying more users than "less" capabilities. People that don't want the sound without the bubbles can turn it off, but people that do - have it now. Incidentally, aquariums do have the sound from the filters without always showing bubbles, so it is more "realistic" for it to be this way, for whatever thats worth.

Just uploaded Beta 7j. http://www.fish-byte.com/MA3Beta.zip
Changes: Removed the Titlebar auto-removal feature. Added a Program Settings button for the Titlebar. Added a right-click pop-up menu. Window can now be dragged by clicking anywhere within it. New icon experiment. Note: This has not been tested on Vista yet. Important note: The alternate Logo image has been renamed to AltLogo.png. If you want to replace it with your own file, that's the name which you must use. (Used to be SSLogo256d.png)
