Dream Aquarium

What works

Everything appears to work correctly. The shading of one of the fish appeared a little light. I've not seen this on a windows system so don't know whether this is normal. This is also an unlicensed demo, so I don't know whether it behaves as an actual screensaver, ie activating after a period of time or not. However the graphics are stunning. Well worth buying this once we have proved it works as a proper screen saver.

The sound did not initailly work, however this was easily corrected by chaging the entry in the audio section of winecfg from OSS to ALSA.

What does not

Everthing appears to work, although auto activation as a screen saver is untested.

The tiger barb fish shading does not look quite correct, as if it's washed out. 

I tried this on a Suse9.3 system with a screen resolution of 1280x1024 60Hz, at least that's what the resolution & refresh are before running the demo. The demo terminates after 5 minutes, which is it's expected behavior, however the refresh rate has now changed to 75Hz, which on my desktop produces slightly less sharp characters.

While running the demo from a command line window using the command 'wine Dream_Aquarium.scr' the following error is constantly displayed in the console window, many times a second ...

fixme:d3d:get_src_and_opr Unhandled texture arg WINED3DTA_SPECULAR

When the program terminates the following errors are displayed

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x6b4b15c0,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:d3d:IWineD3DStateBlockImpl_Release Releasing primary stateblock
