When will unsanity come out with a new unbelievable product?

I remember when unsanity would release absolutely mind-blowing programs regularly and now it seems nothing new in the past year except for the uninspiring chat thingy.

Where is the old unsanity that kept everyone on the edge of their seat with anticipation of insanely cool products?

I miss them.

Why haven't we heard anything about Mighty Mouse in what seems like eternity? Intel Mac users are left out in the cold as far as that application goes because it doesn't run under Rosetta.

Will we see a Universal version of it anytime soon?

Dave - we keep pretty busy updating and keeping up with Apple's changing OS. But we will definitely keep coming up with in-, or rather, unsane stuff.

Patrick - We're working on all those products not listed here. We will have Universal versions available asap! :)

What's about shapeshifter? We know that all versions will be available asap...but we never heard something about the status of shapeshifter. Do you developers have a working version - even if it's buggy - do you have one? I'm now waiting 5 months...that's a long time...you know.

the WindowshadeX doesn't work on my iBook for a lone time, even the lastes beta version. what's wrong?

Hi,

I really like WindowShade and have been using the public beta on my MacBook Pro. However now it is telling me that the demo version has expired and I need to purchase WindowShade. I'm happy to do this but I just want to verify that now is the right time to buy WindowShade -- that the universial binary is moving from public beta to commercial release.

Thanks,
Julie

Warning: WindowShade X 4.0.3b1 broke my intel Mac. There is a conflict with the latest, intel-native version Dragthing (5.6.4). With Windowshade enabled and one launch of Dragthing, all is fine. But a after a second launch of Dragthing, then non-intel-native programs (including MS Office programs, Adobe Reader, Palm Desktop, etc.) will not launch. The console error is that "coreserviced(TFP fails". Dragthing works fine without Windowshade installed.

RTP, it's unrelated to WSX speciically. It's a bug in Rosetta that causes it to fail in some situations, whether ape is installed or not. The fix is to either kill translated or reboot.

The actual bug might be in Rosetta, ultimately, but unfortunately the problems on my machine do disappear when I disable Application Enhancer. I have chosen to live with the problem, and frequently do the "sudo killall translated" thing. But it does look like there is a pernicious interaction of some sort between Rosetta and Application Enhancer, and it would be great if (bug or no bug) it could somehow be fixed on the Unsanity side. Waiting for Apple might take a while, as we know.

I have this Rosetta bug too. Here's what I've found that works. Rebuild the LaunchServices Database. Non-Intel apps will then run. I use MainMenu. Give it a try.

I have also had the problem with the public beta version of Windowshade expiring. I have emailed Unsanity several times about the problem but they have chosen to ignore my messages and I have not received a response. It's a great product but hopefully someone else will come out with something similar soon...that works!

You failed to read the message that appeared when it said it expired. Do that and you will have your answer.

If you're referring to the "purchase for $10" message, I would gladly purchase the product once it is moved out of the "Public Beta" area of Unsanity's website. As of today version 4.0.3b1 is still listed as a public beta. I will not pay for something that the developer still has not determined will work on Intel-based Macs.

Well...version 4.0.3b1 expired over 2 weeks ago...and I've been told by two people that a new beta would be posted and still nothing. At this point I guess I don't even care, thought I couldn't live without Windowshade but life goes on without it, and it's not all that bad. Thanks Unsanity for nothing.

The second beta was posted last week.

well it looks like the "new" beta has expired now too???

What the?
Um, I'm ready to be told that I should be more impatient and am willing to try to really get angry about this stuff - but guys, take a break will ya!!!!!
I have bought, yes bought, shapeshifter and fruitmenu for my intel mac even though shapeshifter still has a few bugs BECAUSE I LIKE THEM.
Public BETA means that they aren't completely ironed out yet and any assistance you can give the developer is welcome. Do you really think they want to drag it out as long as they can? No.
They have a few problems. I'm sure they will be fixed. Abuse doesn't help.
It's ten bucks for gods sake. If you want something to rant about try waiting for Adobe/Macromedia to 'Universalise'. Now THERE is an exercise in patience...

My only problem was that they put a public beta of Windowshade out there for download and testing that was already expired. Fortunately I guess I have lived so long without it I no longer want it or need it.

You know what would be an unsanely great application enhancer?

One that brought up the screen menu when you right-clicked on the titlebar of an application, maybe as a popup menu, or even as a panel like the NeXTstep menus.

As Macs get bigger and bigger screens the distance to the menu bar gets more and more annoying, particularly on dual-monitor systems since you can only have the menu bar on one screen.

I have a question:

What are those of us with Intel Macs expected to do here? They have only a beta of ShapeShifter available, and it has a time-limited demo use (despite being beta). Are we expected to pay for the beta product in order to use the beta?

Shapeshifter is not a free product.

That doesn't really answer the question. How can we test their product when they limit its use to 15 days unless we pay for it (a beta) and there is no final product that can be purchased?

I am running Mac OS X 10.4.8 on an Intel iMac. I just downloaded the latest universal binary for WindowShade X. One quirky thing I noticed is that if I enable Minimize-in-place then use it on my Mail.app window, it works fine, BUT if I use Exposé then move my mouse over the shrunken Mail.app icon/window, it begins to zip back and forth between its Exposé'd position on the screen and where it was when I first did the Minimize-in-place.

ICBMs were announced in January 2005 (and available for development use). Shipping products in January 2006. When can we expect an update to Mighty Mouse? A post from 5 months ago implies "soon."

Guys, we are DYING without Labels X for Intel -- come on, help us out here! OS X labels are the lamest thing about the Mac, and all we need is for you to update this product. I will HAPPILY buy a new copy if that's what it will take. Please!
