This is a wonderful tweak and I like the idea greatly. And it works well on my MacBook Pro, but on my G5 it is useless. Come on, I know that someday PowerPC machines will truly be dead, but there are many newer PPC machines out there that can surely run this code. Please make it a universal binary as soon as possible. I read the notice that you don't have Leopard on a PCC, but many of us do and we could test it for you. I would hate to get used it this on my MBP and then get frustrated when I had to revert back to the default behavior on my G5. I would love to recommend it and use it ON ALL of my machines, and I will once it is PowerPC and Intel compatible.

Hi,The problem isn't testing the app on PowerPC. The problem is that to even make it work on PowerPC, I need to step through the Dock as it is switching spaces in order to discover the exact address of the function to patch. This is more than just testing, this is reverse engineering. And in all fairness, it is not something I would want to do on anyone else's hardware but my own (bad things can happen). However, as I've said to others, via e-mail and otherwise: The code to TripleS is open, so anyone who wants to have a go at making it work on PPC are more than welcome! You can find a download for the source on the TripleS website.
