A few questions

[sean]

Is there a way to make the screen fixed and not fade out to load a different angle every few seconds? For example I enjoy the overhead view the best and I can see my koi better

If the program functions as a stand alone application is the way to activate it only through hitting the preview key?

I immediately registered the program upon opening it. I hope that you will consider more fish such as asagi.

I also hope to see feeding of the koi as well.

Hi Sean,

You can absolutely set the viewing angle to stay fixed. Numbers 2 through 9 on the keyboard are for each of the preset views (chosen by me).

You can also set your own custom preset view by hitting the number '0' and then using the numeric keypad controls and arrow keys to zoom, rotate, move etc. (see documentation on view controls) to whatever view you prefer. The next time the screensaver runs, it will come up in your custom view.

The preview button is currently the only way to run the pond as a stand-alone application. Did you have something else in mind?

We'll definitely consider putting an asagi in the next version. If you have a particular asagi you would like to see, you should post a picture of it on the "make my koi" thread.

Thank you very much for the information. With your instructions I was able to find the perfect setting for my pond. I really like the excellent work you have done on this program! I am happy to support you by registering.

The Preview is a fine way to run as a standalone application, however I'd like to just be able to start it and have it not dependant on whether the mouse moves to terminate it. In other words, maybe have the esc to get out of the program when its running as a stand-alone app.

Of course you could also have the mouse work as it does now when in screen-saver mode.

Again, thank you for the great program. With my Japanese garden wallpaper, it makes great sense to have a koi screensaver
