I just noticed that the "angle fish and jelly fish" in the after dark screen saver "fish" are suppose to be in color but appear in black and white. Any ideas. Husk@virginia.edu

They're both monochrome in real life... Angel fish (the freshwater type) are silver and black. Jellyfish are more or less clear.

On the subject of fish and color, has anyone else observed this funny:
When only my portrait display (4-bit grayscale) is connected and 16
grays is selected, many fish patterns are garbages on the screen. The
screen area (square) in which the given fish swims becomes a garbled
mess of seemingly random pixels. The rest of the screen is unaffected.
Usually several of the fish are garbaged this way.
Maybe funnier yet is that when a color monitor is also connected and
set for 256 colors (the portrait is still 16 grays), then all the fish
color and gray look fine, and swim from screen to screen, gaining and
losing color depending on the direction they're swimming.
Just a bug?
Scott

When I go to the After Dark control panel, and choose Fish, and then click on options, it shows which fish are available. YOu'll see that these two are actually grayscale fishes.
