Recommend Product: YES

I've used this app for over a year, and now I've moved to Leopard, I've installed v3.1. It works beautifully, but as with other users, I think this version has jumped the shark. I really don't need more icons in more dock, or application switcher - I have iCal for that. I use this to see the date/month ahead quickly and easily - I don't need a full icon app for that. If there could be either a free cut down version of the app, without the new bloat, that would be perfect, or - failing that - an option to hide this app from the doc/app switcher. I've used the info.plist hack to hide it from the dock for now - but this is probably a bit hard to do for the average user (actually it's not hard at all, but a bit scary if you don't like messing with things). Also, why is there no upgrade path? I'm happy to pay for software I use a lot, as it's the only way the programmer will keep it alive, but it wasn't all that long ago I paid for v2 - now I'm on Leopard and using v3, I can't see why I need to pay the full amount again. I'll be using it unregistered for the time being (it's still great without the bloaty v3 paid for features). This is a 5 star app, but this version is a 2 star mess.
