A green-text menu will be displayed when the screensaver starts, showing a number of keyboard shortcuts that allow you to increase and decrease the number of bubbles and ripples, and to adjust the volume of sound effects.

Looks just like the pictures. However - it is not made for larger or 16:9 monitors. It requires you to hit ESC to close it as well. Its settings are built in to the screensaver while its active, and it does have options on ripple/no ripple, bubbles/no bubbles etc, and some moderate screen resizing - but for my monitor (16:9 ~27 inch) could only get so far. It is also only for one screen.

If you have a smaller monitor, it could work very well. The fish models are cute. It's just very quirky.

It has an error issue that microsoft intercepts...it will not play and forced me to send an error report before I could become unfrozen. Another thing is I like your others better and being able to choose where it downloads instead of this.
