Tropical Fish 3D Screensaver

For some people, a screensaver is just an image that changes to make sure your monitor does not end up with dead pixels, or with shades of color impregnated into certain areas.  Tropical Fish 3D Screensaver is such a screensaver, but it protects your pixels while bringing a dash of style to your monitor.

The screensaver is a generic one: you have a 2D background that is overlapped with some water ripple effect, and some fish that re subtlely animated to make it look like they are swimming around and hiding behind the various corals in the background. While this recipe has been used many times before, this app manages to make itself noticed mostly because the fish are 3D and not just flat images with subtle animation that give the impression of depth. One thing worth noting is that you will have to wait a bit to see this as the fish rarely ever turn around on the screen, and when they do, they usually do it by facing the camera.

While the fish themselves are beautifully animated and show little to no signs of pixelation, the same thing cannot be said about the background picture. While being tested on a monitor with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080, it was observed that the wallpaper was lacking in the resolution department. While this itself is not a reason to consider the screensaver obsolete, testing it on any monitor with a resolution higher than the one mentioned might not make for a very pleasant experience.

Taking into consideration both pros and cons, we concluded that Tropical Fish 3D Screensaver is a good addition to any desktop, as long as you are not too picky about crystal-clear image quality.
