More Panther Action

Application Enhancer beta that runs on Panther has been seeded to the beta testers today. So far so good, and I've done a small chunk of preliminary haxie testing on Panther:


  • ClearDock works as-is on my computer;
  • Xounds works as-is as well;
  • Mighty Mouse also works fine;
  • WindowShade X 3 has some quirks in the Minimize-In-Place functionality, and will have to be updated;
  • Labels X also work just fine, except they do not respect the label colors new for Panther -- will probably have to be updated to include that functionality;
  • FruitMenu also seems to work fine so far.

I'd like to emphasize that this is some very brief testing on my own machine, and I did not test all the features of the abovementioned products, so in the coming days some other quirks might surface. But overall, everything that is not working right is fixable so far, and I am pretty confident we'll have the fully working versions available in the near future.

If you'd like to be included in the beta list, email me your computer configuration from the Apple System Profiler (and I'll leave figuring out my email to you ;).

Digg This!

I will wait patiently for a beta release - mainly since I've had System Profiler lock up three times trying to export info.

I have to say that I love WindowShade X 3's Min-In-Place and look forward to it being all spiffy under Panther.

As far as Windowshade X's MIP feature there is also a problem in 10.2 with the DVD Player.

MIPed windows remain visible when watching DVDs full screen. They vanish when using Quicktime full screen so it should work for DVD Player as well.

Thanks for your hard work! Panther will be even better now thanks to you.
