More Tiger Goodness

A next round of Tiger-related beta versions is ready for your testing:

http://www.unsanity.net/beta/windowshade-x-36b2.dmg

http://www.unsanity.net/beta/xounds-23b2.dmg

http://www.unsanity.net/beta/ape-15b2.dmg

http://www.unsanity.net/beta/apesdk-15b2.zip (for developers only)

Not much is significantly new, aside from Tiger compatibility, and Master Exclude List for the Application Enhancer - so you can add certain applications to not have any APE modules loaded at all.

Application Enhancer has a spiffy new icon by Daniel Goffin of idleware:

Application Enhancer

Please note these are betas, but we consider them to be release candidates to be released later this week. Please email me or post in comments if you notice any show-stopper bugs, and proceed with caution.

Thank you!

So much for Metalifizer, eh? All I wanted was to get rid of metal, not skin my system left and right ala ShapeShifter. During the early Panther days it was promised...and promised.......and promised. Here we are with Tiger betas now; I guess it's dead.

Posted by: Josh on April 26, 2005 9:17 AM

Metalifizer should still work with Tiger as long as you only use it to demetalifize. Metalifizing is broken, however.

The source code to Metalifizer is open as well (part of the APE 1.4.6 SDK), so if any developer wants to fix metalifizing, they are more than welcome to.

Yay! Thanks for fast work on your part (and your co-conspirators) to bring Unsanity to Tiger.

Posted by: Ben Rosenthal on April 26, 2005 9:46 AM

I second the 'Yay!', sorta the return of spice to the desktop experience... but less cheesy =)
Question tho'; are you guys planning to incorporate the new tiger-technologies somehow?
for instance using a dashboard widget to keep track of available updates/usability tips/tasteless jokes/quotes from the developers... just an example of my mind, hopefully you guys know better than me what tiger brings to the table in the way of new tech.

Silk doesn't work. That makes me very sad.

Posted by: NaNoDrip on April 26, 2005 12:52 PM

New icon for ApE? But I *like* the borg-monkey! (OK, I know he's a chimp, but monkey sounds better.)

Posted by: ++Don on April 26, 2005 12:58 PM

The monkey scared me.

How's with SS-10.4 ready?

Posted by: on April 26, 2005 9:04 PM

Bummer, ClearDock doesn't work, either

Posted by: Chuck on April 26, 2005 9:08 PM

Getting lots of weird pauses and draw issues with the apple menu and contextual menus after installing FruitMenu.

Posted by: Jamie on April 26, 2005 9:47 PM

Message to the Unsanity bug department: the old 'causes the sidebar icons to become generic folders' bug still exists in the latest APE-ster (as it did in 1.4.6, 1.4.5 and 1.4.4.) Labels X 1.6.1 'No longer causes the sidebar icons to become generic folders', but unfortunately it's an APE thing. Any idea if the old bugger is fixed by Tiger?

Posted by: Ton on April 27, 2005 2:47 AM

Ton, It is not an APE thing. Never was. It was fixed in Labels X 1.6.1 but first you have to remove the icons from the Sidebar that are becoming generic.

Posted by: Rosyna on April 27, 2005 6:10 AM

Mmmm :( I deactivated Labels X 1.6.1 from the APE Module list and the sidebar icons became generic after I saved files in the sidebar folders. I even deleted Labels X 1.6.1 from the HD and the folders continued to do their generic appearing act. Then I deactivated Mr APE all together, and the sidebar folder-icons kept their homemade looks. That did tell me something....

Posted by: Ton on April 27, 2005 6:30 AM

Ton, It's telling you something wrong. The sidebar cache is extremely fickle. If you're having this much trouble with it, quit the finder and delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebar.plist (the quitting is so that the Finder doesn't recreate the bad plist.

Posted by: Rosyna on April 27, 2005 6:52 AM

Xounds still doesn't recognize any of my soundsets so it doesn't work at all. I've tried reconverting them but I no longer have OS9 on my system. Any ideas?

Posted by: punkindrublik on April 27, 2005 12:00 PM

What about cleardock? Are you working on that one too?

Posted by: whokilledkaji on April 27, 2005 6:39 PM

I assume that the whole SDK package is forthcoming when the final release is ready? (i.e. documentation, XCode template, etc...)

Posted by: N9YTY on April 27, 2005 7:42 PM

What about "Unifizer". You know, the "Unified Toolbar" option.

Posted by: Tom on April 28, 2005 10:05 AM

Any word on when we can expect Shapeshifter?

Posted by: Michael Heilemann on April 28, 2005 11:29 AM

Xounds needs some work. When I change to another drive and then return to the main drive I have to reinstall Xounds. Once I had to reinstall twice. I also noticed that upon returning to the main drive all the menu's in finder were greyed out and only became functional when I clicked on the desktop. I'm guessing this is an issue with Fruit Menu. I'm sure you will eventually figure things out. I just hope it doesn't take as long as it did to fix the truncated sounds issue. That wasn't fixed for me until the previous version and I've had Xounds and FruitMenu since they first came out.

Posted by: George Bridges on May 1, 2005 4:17 PM

Xounds no longer works after installing Tiger. I've downloaded the latest version but to no avail. Hope it gets ironed out soon... I can't stand the silent treatment.

Posted by: DJB on May 1, 2005 10:54 PM

Xounds is not working right for me either. I have no other haxies installed except for the Ape enhancer and xounds. No sounds from Xounds work at all. Silence sucks.

Posted by: Joe on May 3, 2005 11:12 AM

Xounds doesn't work for me either. Also I'll second the problem mentioned above that FruitMenu causes seconds long delays when attempting to draw the apple menu.

I've deinstalled both. Looking forward to fixes.

Posted by: Barry on May 3, 2005 5:00 PM

I'll third FruitMenu woes in Tiger. Drawing the Apple menu frequently takes several seconds, even in applications that I've already opened the menu in since logging in. Didn't have this problem with the same version in 10.3.9.

Posted by: GD on May 3, 2005 10:40 PM

No joy whatsoever with Xounds for me under Tiger, despite numerous un- and re-installs: it's the only haxie I have running and the default Trash-emptying sounds blows bigstyle. I can't do this stuff in silence!

Posted by: jof on May 4, 2005 1:25 PM

Unsanity - Any word worth sharing on MenuMaster development?

Posted by: Ben Rosenthal on May 4, 2005 2:00 PM

I'll add my comment on that. Xounds no longer works for me either. I think I'd rather go back to Panther so I can keep from going insane... ;)

Posted by: Jeff H. on May 8, 2005 1:06 PM

I like the widget idea, maybe a widget that controlls sopmething useful tho. Like maybe an APE manager widget instead of dealing with the control panel...

Posted by: sal on May 17, 2005 7:32 AM

this fix for Xounds under Tiger worked for me & 1 other... give it a try :-)
