Krazed ShapeShifter Developer Screenshots, Part Un

As part of developing ShapeShifter, I often create outlandish test cases that have a very obvious "works" or "totally broken" state. And then run my development machine using that test case for a few days to see what shakes out.

Since the test cases need to be super-obvious, they also tend to be a bit on the eye-searing side (think hot pink text on a green background, for example). I've been told quite a few times that I should show screenshots of these test cases, simply because they're entertaining in the pureness of the horror that they inspire - kinda like zombies.

So, here is the first of what is hopefully a long line of Krazed ShapeShifter Developer Screenshots!!!!

I'll call this one "Hole In My Head" for obvious reasons. Although maybe "Hole In The Wifelet's Head" would be a better name... Clickie makie biggie!

Enjoy that subtle gag reflex that you're even now trying desperately to suppress. :)

Digg This!

Just as long as I can find, then drag, and drop the respective rectangle pieces but in place I'm cool with it. ;)

As all developers I see you stay away from third party apps on development machine but you couldn't give up Quicksilver :)

What's that app on the right in the dock?

"What's that app on the right in the dock?"

That looks to be File Buddy.

Yup, File Buddy.

More specifically, File Buddy, a Carbon app that uses ControlManager-based non-compositing windows. (Although now that I think about it, I think the author may have updated it to where that's no longer true, negating my reason for testing against it.)

This is a beta, right? So why not release more releases, if you guys are working on it? There have only been 3.

Hey I see some cool app icons I don't recognize! What's the one to the right of Console and the one to the right of BBEdit?
