Existing users, 
I like Onyx OK. Very much like Tiger Cache Cleaner, K0cktale, MacJanitor and such. It does it's job very well.
However, why does it use an installer to merely copy an application bundle into the Applications folder? Why not a simple drag & drop? And more annoying, why does it needlessly ask for an admin name & password to copy this application bundle - when the current log-in is an admin account with full access privileges to the Application folder?
Apps that needlessly ask for a password to merely copy an application bundle to the Applications folder promote user apathy. A user should be prompted for administrative criteria only when necessary.
Requiring administrative credentials to copy an application bundle to the Applications folder while logged in as an Administrator is just plain dumb.

Hello,Why an installer? OnyX is translated in 16 languages. 16 Read-me files and 16 Licence files in the Disk image?? With an installer, you have an unique file and the language of Read-me and Licence files is automatically selected.
Why a password while installing? It's the default setting of the Package Maker Apple's application. It's not a very stable application and I prefer do not change that (Problem with PM in the past).
Sorry for my bad english... I hope that you understand. ;-)
