Can't use any 3rd party dev kits or libraries. The licensing problems can be a nightmare, and it's often hard to determine who's code is responsible when software breaks. We licensed the Installer which the Aquarium uses now, and without the source code we had no idea it was changing the Desktop settings on WinXP. Always better to keep everything in-house.

Will the widescreen version be announced here? I think originally it wasn't going to be announced, but that was when it was planned for release within a week of 1.1's launch. Now that the download frenzy has (probably) subsided, it should be safe to announce new version, right?

The widescreen version is in it's final stages of beta testing. I have no 'inside knowledge', but I'd guess that the widescreen version will be widely (pun intended) available within a month or two.

If you are only getting 30 frames per second with the regular 1.1, you will get unsatisfactory results with the widescreen version.

About 60 people are beta-testing 1.1 Widescreen.

If you have a widescreen display, please e-mail me.

Reef Shark,

The Wide version is just like the regular 1.1 version, except 8 fish and a little more coral in the middle to make it look right on 16:9.

So you get the Lionfish and anything else added in 1.1.

The 3D background, which is off in the distance (October but I won't say which year!) is totally different, with new coral.

If you have a widescreen display and want to beta-test 1.1 widescreen, e-mail me.

Hey Feldon , I was just wondering . When you posted on here that the tank was going to be going to DX7 , Will the release of the wide screen be DX7 ? I'm just asking buddy . An if not do you have any idea when something like that will be done ? I know we can't set time frames but just ball park .

Also , do you know if Jim (The Professor) started on the fresh water tank yet ? I know he's taking a break but I was just asking .
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Is it possible to add the normal resolutions to the WSSS? (Wide Screen screen saver)

I only have options in it for wide screens, but would like to use other settings like 1280x1024 and then adjust the screen size.

Sounds counter-productive.

The only reason for the widescreen is if you have a widescreen display or if you are going to use widescreen resolutions.

In order to beta test the widescreen, I set it to 1280x720 and then adjusted my monitor so the picture was the correct shape.
