Panther Compatibility

Just a quick note we have posted a page that contains Mac OS X 10.3 Panther compatibility information for our haxies. The page will be updated as we progress with the compatibility updates:

Sems to work great so far.
While I was using it had a "crazy" idea. Would it be possible/useful to be able to click "through" a window when it's transparent. I think it could be quite useful but I have no idea if it's possible. Basically it would work like this:
doble-control-key (eg) make the window transparent, then if you click the click goes to the window, but if you shift-click (or control-click, or option-click) the click is sent to the window BEHIND the transparent one. I think it could be useful (and fun). And maybe crazy. And cooler ;-) than shading the window, click the one behind, unshade etc.

Thanks

Michele

Whhooaaa... What happened to everyone's ('cept your own I suspect) favorite Mint Audio? No Pantherisation on that one? You don't want us Mint fans to grab a copy of the free Whamb player, do you????

Besides that: thx for the info :)

Xounds 2.0 still has serious problems with APE 1.4.1 on 7B85. Most applications, including Entourage 10.1.4 and iTunes 4.1 will crash when launched.

wsx 31b works like a charm (so far) on my machines, all of the previous shadow issues are gone. good job!

plus two other observations ...

1. fruit menu 32b1:
try this - open system prefs, klick in the fruitmenu icon, change any setting (e.g., activate/deactivate "fruitmenu contextual items"), do not click the apply button, click in the toolbar's "show all" button, when the dialog ("apply or not") slides down hit the "enter" key on your keyboard and see what happens ...

on my machine, the entire system prefs window is bein closed (system prefs app still running)

then choose "system prefs" from the apple menu and check the appearance of the window

on my machine, i see a white rectangle (size and shape of the previous "apply or not?" dialog) overlaying the main system prefs window, only way to get rid of it is to quit and restart system prefs.

2. general "ape" thing:
the increase in log out time is pretty bad - not sure if this is just me being impatient but somehow i have the feeling as if the log-out time increases over time.

what about Menu Shortcut Fixer for 10.3?

Posted by: shamil on October 21, 2003 9:36 AM

I love Unsanity! You guys and gals really go it with a vengeance and it's appreciated by people like me who not only enjoy your haxies, but rely on them. My biggest concern is when a new system or system version comes of age that I will have to wait forever for developers to catch up and make the little apps I need current. I'm purchasing Panther the first day! Thanks Unsanity. And yes I know not all the haxies work and that they are in beta, but at least they are transitioning and that's all that matters to me.

Editing shortcuts is built in to Panther partially, and Menu Master is being worked on for Panther compatibility I bet.

although i installed ape 141, info in its pref pane still says 1.4

how do I go about upgrading to panther?

1) installing the haxie updates first, then installing the panther update
2) installing the panther update, then updating the haxies
3) removing the haxies, installing the update, installing the new versions

or what?

Posted by: LKM on October 22, 2003 4:53 AM

LKM: either way: APE 1.3 will not work under Panther, so no problems will occur if you have it installed; if APE 1.4.1 is installed prior to the upgrade, it will properly warn you the first time it boots in Panther. So choose whatever path you'd like, we tried to make the transition as smooth as possible (aside from downloading new versions for new system), so there's no certain 'approved' way of migrating to Panther. ;)

Considering the Panther hoopla I am concerned as see many programmers rushing a bit too fast into changing over their software. However, I have been running into problems with some of the software (so far none from Unsanity....yet) and it has given me fits. I ask that software authors please be cognizant that things still need to work in Jaguar and that some of us are eager to make the jump to Panther, but only after the first human MAC sacrifices have been made...so it has safe for us other fools!

Posted by: CREB on October 22, 2003 9:14 PM

One more thing...I haven't seen this much excitement in the MAC Community since the release of System 7.

Posted by: CREB on October 23, 2003 9:16 AM

Whamb doesn't do MODs, though, Ton!

I love how small and functional Mint is, but I'm afraid to see it fall so far behind - I've fallen back to relying on MikMod for some things, as I can't script Mint - I do hope it works with 10.3, or I'll be a saaad panda.

If you could add the ability to REMOVE Apple's hideous highlighting in the Finder, to Labels X, I will give you a million dollars.

Posted by: Etan on October 25, 2003 8:29 AM

Re: LabelsX

I sure hope you guys have figured out a way to defeat Panther's new labeling feature. What I want to see is the abiltiy to revert to the labeling feature that colors only the icons and not the icons text (as was the case in OS 9 and earlier and LabelsX under Jaguar). I'm really tired of looking at colored text lines in Finder windows (list view). I'd also like to have the ability to change the colors, via the color palette.

Just my 2¢.

Windowshade 3.1b4 froze my computer when maximizing a Microsoft Word window that was MIPed. Alt-tabing to/from Word prior to this didn't bring the other (unMIPed) word window to front, which may be related. Do you want bug reports?

Posted by: Jeremy Peterson on October 27, 2003 5:47 AM

10.3 Issues:

1. When windowshade is installed sometimes windows do not properly come to the foreground. This problem seems particularly acute in entourage and dreamweaver. Basically the problem is that you click on a window and it doesn't come to the foreground... The only solution seems to be minimizing all the other windows.

This gets so bad after a while that a reboot is needed.

-----
This is not a bug but a request: minimize in place would be 100 times more useful in panther, if the minimized windows were included in expose.
