I was hoping somebody could lend a hand here and tell me how to put my Serene Screen Aquarium Screen Saver as my desktop. I love it and want to be able to work in my aquarium, so to speak. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks! Downloaded and tried both.



    Wallsaver works for some screen savers but is a bit sketchy with the fish screen savers that I have.



    Deeper looks cool but I have not been able to use it since I'm running Leopard. I downloaded and installed it and as soon as I open it there is a message that says "impossible to run on your version of os x."

    Code:


    /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background









    Type that into Terminal.app

    use Control-c to kill it.

    Xback works with Leopard and Serene Marine Aquarium screen saver.

    I've run Xback overnight, at full frame rate, and found that Marine Aquarium screen saver crashes Time Machine backups.



    I'm trying it now on limited frame rate (20 per sec.) and will report back.

    XBack works really well with the "Flurry" SS.

    Marine Aquarium runs OK with Xback at 20 fps, using a core 2 duo, and Time Machine has behaved itself for the last two days.
