Startrail Troubleshooting ReportDOES NOT WORK ON SNOW LEOPARD! - Version: 2.1, 11/29/2009 01:47PM PST

MacOO7
From the developer's web site:

"I'm sorry to announce that, due to a OS bug, Startrail does not work on Snow Leopard. To be a little more specific, there is a certain case in which apps stop receiving mouse movements (if you want me to be more technical, please email me). Obviously this is the case for Startrail. I filed the bug to Apple, but since it is a very specific bug, I don't know when or wether it will be fixed. I'm very sorry, I tried some workaround but none of them seems to work. So please be advised that if you intend to upgrade to Snow Leopard, Startrail will not work anymore.
If you bought a license for Startrail after Snow Leopard release, please email me for a refund."

Startrail ReviewVery pretty, but freezes the screen - Version: 1.5, 11/1/2007 03:19AM PST

I loved the idea of using this for my mouse. In fact, it worked so well that it took over my whole screen and I couldn't for the life of me escape it and get back to my screen. I was unable to get to the preferences, my menue bar was gone as well as the dock. All I could see every time I moved that d*** mouse was those stars. It acted more like a screen saver that wouldn't budge rather than something that was supposed to trail the mouse. I'd like to know how to make it work as intended on my iBook G4 (tiger). Perhaps the deve has some thoughts on this.

I love this. Makes me feel like I'm casting magic spells all over my dull dull screen.
