A few t-shirt designs that we ordered. Got them in a few garish unsanity colors of course. bright orange, royal blue, and navy blue.

I think I like t-shirts. Time to make (or get made) more designs. :-D

Update: Comment which one you like best if you would also. And you can only say "D. None of the above" if you send me a better design! ;)

Um, ditto.

Attempting to "frolic".

Those gui-mad folks at MacThemes.net have posted the entries from their theme mockup contest. There are over 40 entries! The best of these will be made into themes by some of the best known themers in the community.

Go check them out and vote! I recommend browsing through all 3 pages of themes to get a flavor of everything before you decide your favorites.

I've been really impressed with some of those entries - excellent work going on in the community!

I'm trying out that Mobile IM forwarding feature from AOL. Problem is messages are never delivered to my cell phone (T610) although the AIM service says they will be. They are just eaten.

Don't mean to make this such a short post but does anyone else with T-Mobile and something other than a hiptop actually receive messages from AIM? I can receive other SMS messages just fine. This is really bugging me a lot...

Minor one: added the webcam image to the right of the blog for kicks and giggles. I still gotta fix the templates for the rest of the blog so it matches the new site style.

Here is an alpha of Menu Master 1.1.1. It has a slight bug with bookmark menus in the Safari bookmarks bar that I just cannot seem to track down. Please anyone that gets it, test it a lot. You may have to delete and remake any shortcuts that list "n/a" as their parent.

Here is what is new:

• No longer creates incomplete key combos. Would happen often if a key was set for the same menu item in 1.0.x as one set in 1.1.x
• The preference pane now "cleans" the preferences. Cleaning operations will be logged to the Console (/Applications/Utilities/Console)
• No longer erases new preferences on fast or dual processor Macs if the preference pane is open and a new key combo is set in an application.
• If no menu item is selected and you press a key combo, Menu Master will now behave as expected and send the key combo to the application instead of just eating it.
• Made menu key assignment happen much earlier. This fixes a lot of problems with keys not sticking or not working until the menu is opened.
• Fixed a problem that caused menu keys to be spread across menus multiple times.
• No longer assigns keys to the wrong menu item if the correct one has multiple matching criteria (index, command id, or item title)
• Double delete! Hit the delete key twice while selecting a menu item that has a custom key to restore the original.
• Now identifies submenus with no menu title correctly. This fixes problems with Safari's bookmarks bar but may require some keys to be reset in submenus.
• Finally works correctly with Safari's bookmarks. It should also now work with any Cocoa application that uses delegates to find matching menu items.
• Should now work with ALL cocoa menus in the current responder chain. Which means any menu in the current window basically.
• Greatly sped up the responder chain stuff. Now no longers allows keys to be set for WebCore items.
• A key combo with the 'a' character (or any character in the a position in the QWERTY keyboard layout) now works.
• Fixed a crash that could occur in very rare (but possible) circumstances if a menu key combo no longer existed but did at one point.
• For testing purposes, the prefpane now shows the parent title.
• Rescans the menu item if the name of the menu item changes. This fixes a problem with the WRONG menu item having a key applied to it in cocoa applications if a menu item was removed and then readded to the top.
• Setting a keyboard shortcuts for a menu extra now installs a global hotkey for the key combo. This means if you set a menu extra menu item to Command S, typing Command S in any application will execute the menu extra's item.
• Works for NSStatusItems too.It is possible to assign an NSStatusItem and a menu extra the same hotkey. Whichever is launched first is the one that will work.
• Redesigned the preference pane a little.
• Now will not assign keys made for a popup to a menu in the menu bar and vice versa.
• Fixes problem with a huge stall in the OSA Menu Extra. Can now set keys for scripts.
• No longer allows you to assign the same key combo multiple times to different menus in one application if the menu item had not appeared and was not in the menu bar.
• No longers considers the menu id for popup menus.

Hey Interface Freaks!

We've released ShapeShifter 1.2 and Mighty Mouse 1.1.3 today for your eye candy goodness.

ShapeShifter 1.2 is a pretty huge update. Since he said it better than I did, I'd like to quote Phill Ryu of MacThemes on the important features in the new update. The full list is on the download page.

The 1.2 update brings several other key features that improve the user's experience considerably. The loading of kits has been greatly sped up, resulting in perhaps a 99% reduction in load time on this machine. Metal textures are now properly applied, fixing a long standing bug, and ShapeShifter also adds special links that allow users to download guiKits from within the application with a single click from their web browser. iTunes style built-in file management is now enabled, and there is support for .theme, for those interested in installing themes designed for 10.1 and before. In other words, users should be extremely happy with this huge update.

The new ShapeShifter release also bundles Swiz's excellent update to SimpleX and jGraphics' spiffy update to Digital Device. These both take advantage of ShapeShifter's new integrated app skins.

Mighty Mouse 1.1.3 is more of a bug fix release than a set of enhancements. It's certified (finally!) for use with Panther and removes some issues in which playing games or putting a machine to sleep could remove the customized cursors.

We're really glad that these products have become as popular as they have. Please keep on giving us great feedback on them so we can continue to make your Mac look and act like you want it to!

Who can save me some headache and tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

I have the following code:


<a href="/haxies/menumaster/"><img src="info.gif" border="0" alt="Info" width="22" height="22" style="vertical-align: middle;" />Info</a>


Which results in:

When I add the following DocType (XHTML 1.0 Transitional as inserted by BBEdit):


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


That same chunk of code results in:

What am I doing wrong? The W3 validator claims it's valid. But Safari renders that line when I put the DocType declaration at the top. (which I assume kicks Safari into strict mode or some such thing)

Update: Many thanks to all the helpful/insightful advice. I suppose I should have been more clear as to what I was truly asking though. I know how to fix the problem, that's fairly simple. What I really wonder is why it was/is happening - I guess I was looking for someone to tell me it was incorrect code on my part and Safari was rendering it correctly and give me the correct code. Thus far, it seems as though it might be a Safari bug. Hyatt? ;)

Anyhow, as it's not a big deal obviously, I'm going to move on to cracking the whip on our programmers. heh. :)

We have updated the site design for www.unsanity.com. The old one served us well for almost 4 years now, and we felt it's time for a change.

New layout should be easier to navigate, it should load faster, and it is powered by a whole new system we developed for web page generation.

Please let us know (in the comments) how you like the new design, if there's any missing links or glitches you experience. =)
