What's new in this version:

This is a maintenance update which fixes an issue on machines that have been updated from Mac OS X 10.1.2 to Mac OS X 10.1.3: Under certain conditions, the modified multi-monitor features of 10.1.3 could cause a problem in TinkerTool's detection of the main display which resulted in the Desktop background settings to have no effect. This bug has been fixed.

I am still amazed at this little application that does so much. IMHO this should be apart of the default installation in OS X.

Have been suing this tool for years and it is terrific - features, stability, reliability... everything about TinkerTool is excellent. I also use TinkerTool System for some other functions which is equally good. Thanks and please keep up the good work!

The capability to reorder the login items is back. Of course, many other new features have been added.

Indeed this product just gets better and better. No conflicts and rock solid. Bravo!
