Hi, doesn't seem to work with Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I bought the App, installed it but am unable to get it working. I sent an e-mail to the developer but of course got no reply.....
I bought two of their programs several years ago, Mighty Mouse and Menu Master. They weren't expensive - I believe each was either $10 or $15. I also used APE to enable a slick feature called "Clear Dock" which created an opaque or translucent background behind the dock so it didn't matter what your desktop picture looked like. The feature was free. OS X 10.5 came along and all of this went away. Then, after blaming Apple for everything except hunger in Africa, the got things working, but not Clear Dock.
I recently bought an iMac 21.5" and once again everything went away, despite their claims that everything worked. I had also bought Font Card but frankly, I don't care if it works or not.
The problem is that they totally ignore any and all emails sent to them with questions about their products. My emails were not hostile and contained no profanity. The last one I sent was about two months ago when I had my old system and something still didn't work.
On their web site they claim that everything works under 10.6. If so, then why does the system give a message that it can't load anything because it hasn't been tested under Snow Leopard. I've been a Mac user for 19 years and I've never seen such lousy customer support. (I'm also sure they won't give a damn about this review, either). You don't get what you pay for from Unsanity, paying very little and getting nothing in return.
I just checked the "stability" box below. My comment on that, is that under 10.5 my system would freeze, and I mean totally freeze - couldn't even relaunch the finder. A couple times I even got the infamous "black screen of death"> Did they respond? Of course not.
The Mighty Mouse is a mouse (hardware) sold by Apple Computer.
Hence, the words, "Mighty Mouse," are already taken.
The last 2 commercial software applications I wrote, I had to get written permission from Apple Computer attorneys just to use certain words within my application.
Good luck.
Oh yeah, by the way, has LabelsX been officially abandoned - "abandonware?"
okay, finally unsanity is back, great to see you here again - but before you start begging for additional money (a lot of us has payed and nothing rereived because of you long time vacation) i want so see some updates working on leopard.
in a few weeks or month snow leopard will come up and maybe unsanity needs again 12 month for a working version....?
i've bought a lot of tools from unsanity (mighty mouse, window shade, chat transcript a.s.o.) unfortunately 3 month before leopard - so what? no update, no information nothing!
I think it's safe to say that Unsanity is no-more. Kiss such great products as Windowshade, FontCard and ShapeShifter Goodbye.
Hopefully some other software developer will come in and run with Unsanity's product ideas. Only this time hopefully, it will be a company that appreciates its customers in a way that Unsanity did not.
If anyone could list some alternatives to WindowShade and Fontcard, MightyMouse I think all former Unsanity users would appreciate it.
Unfortunately, Unsanity is toast. Stick a fork in them they are done. Let's see, it's been close to 5 months with no updates for any of their software. Not a one. What a joke. Way to show respect for your customers. If they cared, or were working on new releases, they'd be keeping us up-to-date on their blog page... which of course, they are not doing. So, my only conclusion is that they have thrown in the towel. Sorry folks, it's time to face reality.
Was glad to see Mighty Mouse finally available for OS 10.5 after a long wait. Updates from Unsanity are a long time in coming. I used MM in Tiger when I had a Powerbook but then moved up to a MacBook Pro and Leopard.
Now, any cursor that I select in Mighty Mouse 2.01b disappears from my desktop within a few hours, reverting back to my Mac's own cursor.
I emailed Unsanity about it a couple of times but got no reply; oh well, another software developer whose customer support stinks.
When I installed version 2.0.1b I got a notice asking for a $7 contribution to help them with software development. I foolishly gave it to them; I was delighted to have Mighty Mouse available again. Well, I now feel that these schmucks don't deserve any contributions in light of their foot-dragging regarding updates and their stinko customer support.
This beta supposedly installs application enhancer is it is not yet installed on your system.
It doesn't do that, which caused my system to hang after login.
Luckily I have a firewire harddisk with a leopard install to boot from.
To remove the problem causer remove the mighty mouse preference pane and the mighty mouse file in ~/Library/Application enhancers.
i used mighty mouse for a long time, now i switched to macbook pro and can't run any application from unsanity - only for PPC. is there an alternative tool / application to mighty mouse? i'm sure with intel version my license will expire anyway...

Apple's Mighty Mouse came out in 2005.
I don't think there's going to be any complaints here.

They probably had a big laugh and went out and bought a six pack of cheap beer.
Maybe I can write it off as a charitable donation.
