The text file as executable (rather than give it a specific suffix). This is how OS X does it. However, OS X adds the feature that if you give the file the suffix.command, Finder will run Terminal.app to execute it (similar to how BAT files work in Windows). Unlike MS-DOS, however, UNIX (and OS X) permits you to specify what interpreter is used. We’re going to show you how to locate the image files that are contained within the Photos app on Mac OS. This is specific to Photos app, if you don’t use the Photos app to manage pictures on your Mac then your photos will not be stored within the applications package library and instead you’d likely find them through Finder in the generic Pictures folder or elsewhere in Mac OS.

With a batch file, you save all the commands into one file, and just run the batch file, instead of your gazillion commands individually. I was facing the same situation in Mac OSX when I realised that I didn’t know how to create a batch file in Mac OSX. Turns out it’s pretty easy.

Ever since I started making screensavers for Windows, I've had requests for Mac versions. So I decided to go and buy a Mac so I could make Mac OS X screensavers for you guys. Problem is, the Mac cost me a fair amount of cash. So I've made this screensaver shareware. It's only US$12.95 to register and get rid of all the nags that pop-up, and all the intro banners at the start. You'll also be able to download new fish to add to your aquarium, and get rid of the 3 fish limit! But more importantly, you'll help support Useless Creations, which means I'll be able to keep developing nifty screen savers for Mac OS X!

So register now to get the full version, help me pay for my Mac, and look forward to more cool 3D screensavers in the future!

To get to the download screen, click on the 'Download New Fish' tab on the screen saver Options screen. With the trial version, all you can do on this screen is check which fish are available. With the registered version you can actually download them, all you need to do is follow the steps on screen. Closing the settings sheet while any downloads are in progress will cancel the current download, and of course, you need to be connected to the internet to be able to download new fish.

After downloading a fish, the screen saver needs to be restarted for the new fish to be available.

The button at the bottom lets you set where the downloaded fish files are kept on your machine. The screen saver will create a default directory for you when it runs, however you are welcome to change it. Remember though, if you change the directory the screen saver will not be able to find any fish in the previous directory, and you will need to give any users who are going to use the screen saver permission to at least read from the folder so they can use the data files, and they will need write permission if you want to allow them to download fish aswell.

Because I've been asked a lot, here's a quick note: If you get an error saying 'Download Failed - Error! Cannot Create File http://' it means that it can't save the fish file, usually because you do NOT have full read/write access to the folder (as it says you need above). So you need to make sure you have access to that folder it's using, OR you can create a new folder somewhere you know you have full access to, such as under your home directory. Then click that button at the bottom of the settings and tell the screen saver where you new folder is. Then you should be fine.

The following fish are currently available for this screensaver (See above for instructions). New fish will be added as often as possible, so check back regularly!

Please note: These add-ons only work with the full registered version. Info on registering is just above on this page.

When I was writing the Ultimate 3D Aquarium Screen Saver (it's different to this one, and has full 3D environments, check it out!) I finally had the chance to change the way you select the fish. People have been asking for a different fish selector for ages, and now you've got one!

You can now select which fish you want included. For example, you can select to just have Neon Tetras and Clown Fish, if that's what you want. Or you can select all the Salt Water fish, and then take out the one's you don't like. It's a lot more flexible than the old way, so I hope you like it.

I've also done some bug fixes and general tweaking.

Enjoy!

Once again a fishy update! The most requested feature of all time has now been added: a volume control! You can now set how loud you want the background fishtank noise to be.

Also, another highly requested option has been added, you can now select to stop the fish from swimming off the screen. Personally, I like them coming and going, but you can stop them if you want to be cruel to the fishies.

There's also some new fishies on the way, keep checking the webiste!

Enjoy!

Here's another update version for you guys. There are 2 changes: the first is that this program is now a Universal Binary which means it will run on all Mac's running OS X 10.3 or higher, including the new Intel Macs. Yay.

The 2nd is the addition of an option that lets you select the resolution of the screen grab. Some people have been having video memory issues which means the program can't take a proper grab of their screen which seems to be caused by using a high resolution but not having the video memory to store the grab properly. The result seems to be a weird pattern of a background instead of the proper grab. Now with this option you can set the detail of the grab which means that if you have a problem with the background you just set it to a lower detail and you will still be able to enjoy the screen saver without any major difference. I actually like running it with the low detail because it means the background is a little blurred and you can see the fish better, and it also runs faster because your video hardware doesn't have to do as much work!

Enjoy!

Ok, so this thing quickly became possibly the most popular screen saver I've ever made. I now understand why there are so many fish screen savers, it's because everyone loves them. And the feedback I've had has been amazing! I've had literally 100s of emails from people saying this is now their favourite aquarium screen saver. With so much competition, that's pretty high praise!

So I've set to work adding and fixing things that people asked for and complained about, and a few things I didn't get around to originally. The main thing was that people wanted some sort of sound in the background. Personally, I find noisey screensavers annoying, but I can understand that if you're sitting watching the fish you'd like a bit of noise like a real aquarium. Some people wanted just a hum, and some wanted a bubbling noise, so I searched around and found a sound which is kind of a mix of the two. There's a definate hum, and some nice quiet splashing/bubbling. But don't panic if you don't like noise, you can turn it off!

I've also made the fishies eyes move. This is something I decided to leave out, and I wish I hadn't because it looks really cool when they look around as they're drifting past. The problem is it means I have to re-make the fish files. So until you download v1.1 of each fish, their eyes wont move. Only fish that say they are v1.1 will have moving eyes, but the old versions will still work as normal so there's no reason to panic and update all your fish thinking that it'll be broken without an update. Because I have to remake them, it may take me a while to release 1.1 versions of each fish on the website. Please be patient! I have to re-animate some of them to allow their eyes to move so just hang in there. Since no one reads these readme file, I anticipate being flooded with emails asking why this or that fish's eyes don't move. It's a shame no one reads these things...

What else did I do? I spent so much time changing stuff I'm losing track. You can now select not only salt and fresh water fish, but also cold and warm water fish for both salt and fresh water. Someone emailed me saying they didn't want the Turquoise Discus and the Wakin swimming together because of the different water temperature, well your wish is my command, so you can now having different sets of fish swimming and switch between them easily. However, as I said with the eye movement, I need to release v1.1 of each fish for the screen saver to know if they are a cold/warm water fish. So you'll need to update each fish as it becomes available for this option to work, if you've been using v1.0.

On the bugfix front, some people had problems with the background 'splintering' after a certain time. This is something I just could no replicate, but I'm told it's now fixed in this version. Also, the problem with people who were lucky enough to have widescreen monitors and the lighting no going to the edges should also be fixed. I can't remember all the little fixes I made, but I tried to fix almost everything that I could find.

There's also some changes behind the scenes with the collisions between the fish, and I noticed on my machine that the fish all seemed to want to swim together in the middle when you had a lot of fish, so I've tried to make them swim to the side of the screen a little more, but it's all random so it's hard to control the little critters.

Once again, I'm glad so many people love this screensaver as much as I do. Continue to show your support, and I'll continue to add fish and do updates and make more great stuff like this. There are already over a dozen fish available on the website, and it's only a month old! Which I think is pretty damn cool!

Enjoy!

I'm gunna say this right off the bat: I love this screensaver. It's taken twice as long as it should have to finish it because I spent half the time sitting watching it.

I know there are plenty of aquarium type screensavers, but I'd never seen one I actually liked. So way back when I started work on my own, but I couldn't make the fish look the way I wanted so it didn't get very far. Then recently I came across a far more talented artist than I who had some cool 3D fish available, and the rest is history. So I didn't make the fish, I just did the animation and everything else. I think this is the first time I've used someone else's 3D models in my stuff, but I think you'll agree that the quality is so high I'd have been stupid to pass up the opportunity.

So what happens is, the screen fills with water and the fish start swimming around. Sounds simple, but it wasn't simple to make. The effect tho, is well worth the effort. It's far more '3D' than any other aquarium screensaver I've seen because the fish swim in all directions, getting closer or further away and all over the place. Watch it and see!

I added an option to let you choose between tropical salt water fishies and fresh water fish. I thought some fish lovers might find it strange that they're all swimming together. But you can still have them all swim together of course, because virtual fish can all survive in the same virtual water!

I'm going to have additional fish add-ons available for download from the website but they'll only work with the full version. The full version lets you have more than 3 fish at a time aswell, so if you like it, register! I've tried to make it real value for money, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than any of the other underwater aquarium type screensavers I've seen aswell!

As always, if you spot any bugs, let me know!

Enjoy!

Mac OS X (the X stands for XPerience) is one of the greatest pieces of iArt ever created. It is the only painting of its kind to actually interact with iHuman iUsers by animating with the iUser's movements. In fact it is so interactive that it is mistaken for an operating system. Although no one can be sure, given the intense secrecy surrounding its development, it is believed that Mac OS X was created and implemented entirely by one being, Steve Jobs.

The Useless Bat Mac Os Pro

OS X is known for its extraordinary level of prettiness and is just the operating system to get if you love amazingly useful features such as smoke blowing across your desktop when you burn a disk. Features such as this are enhanced even more by the fact that you can make the smoke 'waft' across your desktop if you blow in the microphone. Clearly, OSX has been designed from the ground up to enable the most productive and useful experience imaginable.

History[edit]

133BC-1959[edit]

BigD, a very experienced computer engineer, decided that he wanted to make a better OS than Windows, so he decided to code one from scratch. And 2 days later, he completed the software and started to distribute among his friends, which one of them happened to be Steve Jobs. They both got into a feud and they separated their ties. They stop being friends 32 days later and now, BigD is developing another newer software, called 'Mack OR D', ever since Steve Jobs made Mac OS X famous and gained copyright, rendering BigD stranded in the IT world without an OS to look after.

1960-1970[edit]

Steve Jobs, a descendant of Michelangelo, who one day, while thinking in his cardboard box outside Denny's, felt he was a shame to his family. One day while

scrimmaging through a garbage heap for food, he came across a painting kit. At that moment he just started painting feeling, 'possessed by Michelangelo.' Jobs then woke up one day and saw his finished piece of artwork. He was amazed by the fact that it glowed at night and that if he moved his paintbrush, a little arrow followed it. Snorting a bit of coke, Jobs named his piece Mac OS X.

Mac OS X was sent in to a venture corporation by Jobs, hoping to start his company Apple (named after the various colored and moldy apple cores he used as paint). His idea wasn't taken seriously (because no one takes homeless people seriously), but after repeated attempts Jobs finally....

...failed. So he kidnapped a white collar kind of person, killed him, and took his cloths. Jobs shaved with a keychain (took him five days) and tried for the last time. This time he was taken seriously and the Apple company was created

1980's-1990's[edit]

At first the company was useless, it had nothing to sell, and it was close to being shutdown. That is when an employee noticed an unframed painting on the wall. He asked Jobs who made it and Jobs said he did. The employee started to kiss his iAss quickly afterwards and this gave Jobs a wonderful idea. First every kiss-ass employee was fired, then Jobs showed his artwork to his technical team. They were amazed by the painting's look and user interface and the fact that they didn't need to put effort into it.

So they ifilmed the painting and tried to control it from a screen to no avail. Then somebody mentioned computers (this is the 80's by the way) and the team quickly worked on to create the worlds first personal computer (Microsoft was still unknown). They bought a tub of Legos, melted it, formed it into a box, and shoved a piece of glass in the front. The next step was to upload the Mac OS X into it, so they attempted to shove it. After repeated attempts they finally...

...failed, again. Someone brought up a neat-O idea, how bought mix the painting with UNIX. No one knew what that was, they thought it was a brand of chocolate. It was so they slobber the box with chocolate and attempt to shove the painting in. The person with the UNIX idea scolded the tech team and told them he meant the AT&T operating system. It was too late, the team had thrown the painting into a batch of melting UNIX chocolate bars and the plastic boxes. Steve Jobs saw this and became furious, but the batch exploded before the tech team was fired, and the iMac was born.

Today[edit]

The iMac is considered an important moment in art history and mistakenly in PC history. The original canvas, the Mac OS X, was destroyed, so in order to continue the survival of the Mac OS X, the OS is repainted in sweat shops in Taiwan and placed inside iMacs. The iMacean Military is now in a battle against the HP Pavilionites in some dude's basement in Chicago.

Features[edit]

Look[edit]

The painting is shiny due to its high level content of lead and melted toys. The blue background is said to be painted by technique known as neon lights.

Uselessness[edit]

• Like most artwork, there are no uses.
• I once uploaded porn on Mac OS X, but you can't enjoy it in an art gallery.
• I tried to change the background, but I received an error that said I couldn't do that for I was 'vandalizing a great piece of artwork.'
• Mac OS X is to be used as a scrapbook where cutouts of programs are pasted on.
• Widgets are to be taped on the screen.

Games[edit]

OSX has a massive variety of fun, exciting games. These include:

Bands[edit]

iwrestledabearonce was hired by Steve Jobs to write commercial songs Mac OS X, but, while they were recording the song, they all dropped their instruments on the floor, thus recording their first hit single. They continued mangling their instruments and screaming like banshees, thus creating their first album.

Mac OS X in iPods[edit]

One day during a conference meeting, Steve Jobs began doodling on a piece of sketch paper. This turned out to be a portable version of the Mac OS X painting. Once again, he and his staff made history in the electronics industry by sliding the small piece of paper into a plastic box. Thus, the birth of iPod.

Later, Jobs colored it and created the iPod with photos.

The iPod with video was conceived when a the tech team supervisor Joe put a portable TV behind the photo iPod. Steve Jobs painted the portable TV to mimic its background for consumer marketing reasons.
