Aquarium Screensaver for Windows

Used Aquarium Screensaver for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

Though not as striking as many of the aquarium-themed screensavers on the scene, this freebie seems like a satisfactory addition to your collection. Aquarium Screensaver is quite colorful, but the background scenery displays some artifacts and the fish don't look particularly real. Conversely, the bubbling sound effects sound as if they came straight out of a fish tank. The application does provide a few very basic customization options, such as the ability to show the action in random or sequential order, resize the actual screensaver, and change the background color. However, you can't decide which fish appear, nor can you change the scenery by adding or removing elements. Still, since it takes a minimal toll on both system resources and finances, lovers of marine life should probably at least spend a few moments with Aquarium Screensaver.

A good screensaver overall
thunderloaderOctober 2, 2008
Pros
Doesn't interfere with other applications. I could sit and stare at this for hours!
Cons
The graphics need refining as the fish resemble some of the old video games from the early 1990's. Also when it does activate, it does consume resources.
Summary
Overall it's a good screensaver. Is it perfect? No. Am I happy with it? Yes, and I think you will be too. It's presently my favorite! What are you waiting for? Download this already!

Pros
Colorful, two backgrounds, bubbling sound.
Cons
Four kinds of fish shown (angelfish, zebra danios, guppies, tiger barbs) are all fresh-water, but background is marine (salt water). Unrealistic movement of fish.
Summary
Simple, as advertised, low quality graphics

Pros
Doesn't tax your computer a lot, runs smoothly.
Cons
dated graphics, zebra danios actually swim upside down!
