Shades 1.1.5 (Mac OS X)

Nil Object Exception  

A few users are experiencing an issue with Shades 1.5 crashing when they upgrade. The fix appears to be to delete your preferences file. You'll find it in your users folder under library/preferences/com.charcoaldesign.shades.plist. Sorry for any inconvenience. [alert admin]

WindowShade X 3.0 (Mac OS X)

Re: Keypad  

You have to press the *option* key 5 times to activate mouse keys, not ctrl, so that shouldn't interfere with windowshade. Anyway, you can just turn the key shortcuts off unless you actually have special needs. [alert admin]

Billy Frontier 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Hmm....  

Well this wasn't what I expected at all. The duel bit at the start is very easy but very dull. I'm not sure this makes for a good combination. It reminds me a bit of those irritating dance mat games for the playstation. The next section (the western-style shootout) was a lot more fun until I reached a point when it was simply impossible to hit one of the baddies. He was hidden behind a table and even if I fired directly at him immediately as he popped out, the gun didn't react fast enough to hit him before he was back behind the table. This was probably due to my processor/graphics card speed (500 Mhz G3 with Rage 128 Pro) but even so it was annoying since the rest of the game worked fine. Needless to say I don't know what the rest of the game is like. [alert admin]

Effortless Improvement 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Misconception  

Not that I am a subscriber to the 'subliminal messages' theory, but surely if you wish to turn your daughter straight Boff then you would need to run the program on her computer, no? On a more serious note though, I was under the impression we lived in a society now where people are encouraged to improve themselves through accepting who they (and their daughters) are, rather than trying to act 'normal' for the sake of fitting in. Not that it's any of my business... [alert admin]

SwitchRes 3.1.1 (Mac OS X)

Dissapointing  

This used to be so cool under Mac OS 9, but now it just doesn't do any of the things I want it to. I mainly used it for switching screen mode automatically so I could play old games, or for switching Quake 3 to stretched screen mode. Now however, it isn't capable of doing this before the game has actually launched any more, which means that the game typically informs me on startup that the screen resolution is incorrect and that I must quit and manually change it. Kinda makes switchres a bit redundant then. [alert admin]

TNT Basic 1.12 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

Point taken, perhaps…  

two stars was overly harsh. I just don't like the "it's for beginners therefore we won't put oop in" attitude. Its a great development system and the price is right, but the language itself is unuseable for someone like me. [alert admin]

Monkeybread REALbasic plugin 2.6 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

Astounding. One of…  

few plugins worth paying for, and puts many other overpriced, underfeatured efforts to shame. Buy this. [alert admin]

Prioritising features  

The order in which I add new features is as much dictated by how quickly they can be implemented as by how much they are requested. Adding additional format options is relatively easy, and as little as they may matter to you, for the people that request them they are often the one single thing needed to make MagiCal perfect for them. In regard to your two requests... 1) I currently know of no way to allow right-alignment…

Excellent! Nearly Perfect now!  

This should be simple enough to implement, but I'm not sure there's any point in replicating that functionality in MagiCal when it's already built in. I don't think the Apple menu bar clock has to be enabled for the announce time feature to work, so simply enable announce time in the system preferences, and use MagiCal to actually display it in the menu.

Intel Version  

VT posted the wrong version for some reason (not sure if I screwed up or they did), anyway I've corrected it now. The link on this site is now for the UB, you can get the PPC or Intel standalone versions from the dev site (they're half the size).

I can see one potential flaw with this product  

The slider can be hidden when in the background, or set to fade out when the mouse is not moved. Alternatively you can hide the slider altogether and just use the menu icon control. (These options can be found in the preferences)


I would have thought that these options were sufficient to eliminate pixel burn. If not, perhaps you would like to submit a feature request via the web site that explains your needs in more…

re: almost made me heave  

In panther the plists of applications are cached, which means that if you change the plist to make the app not appear in the dock, it won't take effect until the cache is updated. I haven't tried it, but your Jaguar application hiding program probably still works, you just need to reset the cache after using. One way to do this is to temporarily move the application to a different folder and then back again.
