Dream Aquarium Screensaver Free Download
Lilliana Adames
The program has a somewhat confusing interface that requires the user to right-click on the aquarium as it's running in order to access the Options menu. But the actual fish tank action is impressive. Up to six species of sea creatures (the trial limits the tank to six) move in realistic ways and look lifelike, whether they are brightly colored angelfish or crabs scurrying about on the sea floor. The program's options are the highlight of the program once the menu is accessed. Users can choose between seven different aquariums, different fish, lighting, and can even feed the fish. While it seems like every opportunity was taken for users to control the tank, the designers neglected to give them as much control over when the screensaver operates. Throughout the extensive Options menu we only found one vague command to set when the aquarium appears, and oddly, this was only when the computer was running on battery.

While its lack of direction for controlling the program was annoying, it wasn't enough to deter us from the spectacular graphics and options for the aquarium. Anyone interested in filling the screen undersea life should give this download a shot.
Designed by Alan Kapler, a special effects artist and animator who has previously worked on Hollywood blockbusters such as Titanic, X-Men and The Day After Tomorrow, Dream Aquarium is one of the most realistic freshwater aquarium screensavers on the market.
By default, the camera position is static, showing you the full aquarium, but you can opt to have it follow one fish in particular, or several fish chosen randomly. You can adjust the air bubbles floating up to the surface, along with the speed of the fish, and even the background image can be replaced with any image on your hard drive, like a family photo.
It is very nice but the demo version on Windows 10 changes my screen color temperature and makes it way too bright. It is ok for the screensaver to do this for itself but it should go back to my settings after it stops running.
the free version slows down the pc a lot which does not happen with other types of screensaver and after showing different types of aquarium there are only 2 fishes to swim on the black screen without showing the background of the aquarium itself so I deleted it after a short time and it was a real disappointment ....
The developer of Dream Aquarium Screensaver calls it a 'next-generation' aquarium screensaver but doesn't explain what they've done to make it so. Whatever it is, the level of realism in terms of graphics, movement and stunningly bright colors is impressive. The swimming actions of the fish are particularly realistic as they nibble bits of food, dart in and out of coral and even chase each other.

Hi,
first of all, thank you very much for this great software. I've been using it occasionally and it has worked great in most cases. I would like to ask a question about one specific program that I have a little problem with. It's the Dream Aquarium Screen Saver. I searched and found an entry in the forum from a long time ago, where you talked about the Hide Multi Monitor Config setting.
In past versions, I couldn't get the Aquarium to work at all - if I tried the feed menu, it would not display correctly, and if I would go to the main menu, it wouldn't process my clicks. In the current version, these things seem to work. I have a problem though: When I click outside the window, the screensaver closes. This is the default behavior of the screensaver, because in a multi monitor setup, it also closes if I click on the second screen.
Is there a way to prevent DxWnd from closing the window when I click outside the windowed screensaver?
Thank you for your time. Kind regards
Hello,
again, thank you for looking into this.
I tried both settings, neither work - the window keeps closing.
If you want I'd love to gift you a license for the screensaver so you can keep looking into it? No expectations though, please don't feel pressured or anything.
I would happily accept your present, that would allow me to continue the hunt, though success is never for granted. This program is surely strong-protected against duplication and I wouldn't even try to force it to get a full registration, but hopefully what we're trying to achieve could be clear enough to find an easy and legal workaround.
But before you do that, please let me ask one thing: do you think the licence could be mved from one computer to another? If not (as presumably it is) please let me know on what platform you have the screensaver, so that we don't waste time and a licence working on a wrong target.
For any detail about the program registration you could safely send me a private mail through the SourceForge PM channel.
Yes, thank you, I received the redeem code. I moved out of home for a short vacation, so I will be able to activate it only next wednsday. Please be patient, I look forward to start working on this screensaver.
I just tried now the screensaver on a genuine Win7 machine with 2 monitors, and the suggested configuration (default + "Do not notify on task switch") works as it should, when I click on other windows the screensaver window doesn't close.
This configuration has the side effect to make deaf dialog messages, so that when you click on, let's say, the OK button nothing happens. If you want to terminate the program you may have to kill it from DxWnd kill command or from the task manager.
Also, on this computer I have some video flickering of the aquarium background, probably because of the different video card.
In any case, the aquarium window doesn't close. Weird ...
