If you set too much opacity it will be likely that you won’t be able to see your icons anymore. You’ll probably want to play specially with the -op option to set a different opacity depending on your desktop background. Use the –help option for other features and possibilities. Play around with it until you find settings you like. If all goes well, you should have the window in the background of your desktop, much like xwinwrap. bwpropset -fs -s -sp -st -nf -ni -b -op. From that folder, run bwpropset as follows. Make all settings (Number of fish, etc) you want now, because you won’t be able to change them afterwards.ģ) Open a terminal and go into the folder in wich you built Neaveru’s tool. Now you should have the screensaver running in a window that is the size of your desktop. Hit OK.Ģ) Run the program using normally the icon on your desktop or the entry into the Windows Applications menù. Although, I have “Allow the window manager to control the windows” unchecked. All other settings shouldn’t make a difference. (I have mine set at 1280×800 and it runs smoothly). In the newly opened window, go to the graphics tab and check “Emulate a virtual desktop”. On the new window, select the Control Panel tab and then click on the winecfg icon. In the new window, choose the bottle in wich you have Dream Aquarium installed and click on the configure button. The program will be built and you’ll be ready to use it.ġ) Run from menù Applications –> Crossover –> Configuration. Download the tarball, unpack it anywhere you prefer, enter into the unpacked dir, run a terminal from there and simply type make and hit enter. It’s a small application Neaveru wrote to get this to work. You can find everything you need to set up Dream Aquarium in less than 5 minutes with Crossover in your PC on This Post of mine.Ĥ) You have downloaded the source code to Beryl Window Property Setter. If you are looking for a quick way to have DA working on your Linux PC, then download my crossover bottle prepared and configured for you and read the How-To I created. (And possibly with different opacity, brightness, etc). So the basis are the same.ģ) You have some amazing application that you want to run in fullscreen and in the background. First of all, Crossover is nothing more than a patched Wine version with a lot of graphical configurations tools. So, if you prefer using Wine, install Dream Aquarium using my How-To and then follow Neaveru’s Instructions. Remember that what you’ll read here is the same How-to from Neaveru (Original author) modifyed for Crossover users, nothing more. Now let’s see the differences beetwen the Wine version and the Crossover version. Just remember that you’ll be able to use this How-To with any windows application running in Wine or Crossover. I’ll poit this on another post, by the way. It doesn’t work only for Dream Aquarium but, hey, for any damned Windows application using Wine or Crossover! That is incredible, specially because you have to know that a lot of Windows Screensavers works great under Linux and Linux hasn’t got so many good 3D screensaver I have to say. Is there any difference with the crossover bottle I shared with you? Absolutely not. So, in Neaveru’s forum you can find the guide for Wine. But now Neaveru created a fantastic tool to achieve this result aniway in Beryl. Using xwinwrap, sadly, it was impossible to have DA working as a background. Neaveru, in his blog, finally completed the how-to have Dream Aquarium running as a desktop wallpaper in Linux! The result is absolutely similar to the one had with xwinwrap and a common Linux screensaver.
