2. 打开偏好设置：点击菜单栏的鲨鱼鳍图标，在下拉菜单中选择“偏好设置”（或使用快捷键 Command + ,）。

2.2 自定义您的海底世界

在“偏好设置”面板中，按顺序进行以下自定义操作：

1. 选择场景：在“场景”选项卡中，点击您喜欢的3D环境缩略图（如“深海峡谷”、“沉船墓地”）。切换会实时生效。
2. 管理鲨鱼种群：切换到“鲨鱼”或类似选项卡。您可以看到6种鲨鱼的列表。
   • 勾选或取消勾选鲨鱼名称旁的复选框，以决定它是否出现在场景中。
   • 部分版本可能提供数量滑块，可以调整同种鲨鱼的数量。
3. 调整视觉与音频：
   • 在“图形”或“效果”选项卡中，拖动滑块调整水质清晰度、光照强度和阴影质量。
   • 在“声音”选项卡中，分别调整“环境音效”和“音乐”的音量，或将其静音。

2.3 设置运行模式

1. 设置为动态桌面：确保在“通用”或“模式”设置中，选择了“作为桌面运行”。此时软件将持续在后台渲染3D场景作为您的活动壁纸。
2. 设置为屏幕保护程序：
   • 在偏好设置中选择“作为屏幕保护程序运行”。
   • 然后，您需要进入macOS系统本身的“系统设置” > “桌面与屏幕保护程序”。
   • 在“屏幕保护程序”选项卡的左侧列表中，选择“Sharks 3D”。
   • 在右侧设置屏保启动时间，并可以勾选“与时钟一起显示”或“随机播放场景”。
   • 如需密码保护，点击“热点”选项，勾选“使用密码”并进行设置。

2.4 日常控制与退出

• 暂停/恢复：点击菜单栏图标，选择“暂停动画”可以暂时冻结场景以节省资源；再次点击选择“恢复动画”。

三、 常用功能进阶技巧

1. 多显示器协同：在偏好设置的“显示器”选项中，可以设置场景在所有显示器上延展显示，或在每个显示器上显示独立的的不同场景，打造环绕沉浸感。
2. 性能优化：如果感觉系统资源占用较高，可以在“图形”设置中适当降低“细节层次”、“阴影质量”或“分辨率”。关闭“抗锯齿”也能提升性能。
3. 专注模式：在需要专注工作时，可以通过菜单栏快速“暂停动画”，或将“鲨鱼数量”调至最低，保留宁静的海底背景而减少动态干扰。

Four, Common Issues and Solutions

4.1 The software starts but no changes appear on the desktop, and the menu bar icon is not displayed

• Causes: The software may be set to “Hide Dock Icon” and the menu bar icon may be hidden by macOS system settings.
• Solutions:
  1. Check the Dock to see if there is an icon for Sharks 3D (which may be hidden).
  2. Go to “System Settings” > “Dock and Menu Bar”, find “Sharks 3D” in the left list, and ensure that the option to display it in the menu bar is turned on.
  3. Alternatively, try finding the “Sharks 3D” process in “Activity Monitor” and force-quit it, then restart the software.

4.2 The animation is laggy and unsmooth

• Causes: Graphics settings are too high, or other large applications are running simultaneously.
• Solutions:
  1. Open the software preference settings and reduce the “Graphics Quality”, “Fish Population”, or “Effect Detail” settings.
  2. Close other unnecessary applications, especially those that consume large amounts of graphics resources.
  3. Ensure your Mac is updated to the operating system that supports the current software version.

4.3 The screen saver cannot start or immediately exits

• Causes: Conflicts with macOS screen saver settings, or software permission issues.
• Solutions:
  1. Ensure that “Run as Screen Saver” is enabled in the Sharks 3D preference settings.
  2. Go to “System Settings” > “Privacy & Security” > “Privacy” tab, check the “Accessibility” and “Screen Recording” permission lists to ensure that “Sharks 3D” is checked. Some screen savers require these permissions to run properly.
  3. In the “Desktop & Screen Saver” system settings, re-select “Sharks 3D” as the screen saver source.

4.4 No sound

• Causes: The audio in the software is turned off, or the system audio output device is abnormal.
• Solutions:
  1. Check the “Sounds” tab in the software preference settings to ensure that the “Ambient Sounds” and “Music” volumes are not set to the lowest or muted.
  2. Check if the macOS system volume is turned on and the output device is correctly selected.
  3. Try playing other media files to confirm that the system audio output is normal.

4.5 How to uninstall Sharks 3D?

• Causes: Users need to completely remove the software.
• Solutions: Drag “Sharks 3D” from the “Applications” folder to the Trash. Additionally, check the “Users & Library/Preferences” and “Users & Library/Application Support” directories for any residual configuration files and delete them to thoroughly clean up.

4.6 The downloaded activation version cannot be opened and prompts a damaged file?

• Causes: macOS Gatekeeper security policy prevents the execution of unsigned applications.
• Solutions: Go to “System Settings” > “Privacy & Security”, and check if there is an option to “Allow Anyway”. If not, try entering the command sudo spctl --master-disable in the Terminal to temporarily disable Gatekeeper (not recommended for long-term use), or manually allow the application to run.

Six, Quick Key Summary

The following is a summary of the common quick keys used in macOS for Sharks 3D:

Six, Usage Tips and Practical Cases

6.1 Creating an Immersive Work Environment

Many designers and programmers have reported that setting Sharks 3D as a dynamic desktop, reducing the number of sharks and environmental sounds, can effectively alleviate visual fatigue during long periods of work. It is recommended to set the scene to “Coral Reef” and enable gentle lighting, while switching the background music to soothing ocean white noise. This combination has been praised by multiple Mac users as a “tool to enhance focus.”

6.2 Family Entertainment and Display

During family gatherings or when friends visit, switch Sharks 3D to the screen saver mode and enable “Random Scene Playback.” With a large screen display or projector, the realistic shark swimming and bubble particle effects can quickly capture attention. Users have shared that running this screen saver on a Mac mini in the living room even became a tool for children to learn about marine life interactively.

6.3 Creative Layouts with Multiple Monitors

For users with dual monitors, different scenes can be assigned to each monitor in the preferences settings. For example, use the “Deep Sea Canyon” as the background on the main monitor, and the “Wrecked Cemetery” as the decoration on the secondary monitor. This setup is popular among creative professionals, breaking the monotony of traditional wallpapers and adding visual interest to multitasking.
