Downloaded this having had the old Visor and thought .o0(I wonder if it's been updated to make Pin triggerable with a keystroke/gesture), initially pleased to see it in the preferences, but then tried it, didn't work and now "Pin", in the new supposedly improved version, isn't even selectable in the menulet at all meaning "Pin" has actually got worse in that it is unusable so, sigh, had better try to go back to the old version...

FYI, if you're still using Leopard, the older versions can be found here:

Works perfectly on SL. Visor is back!! No more having to use 32bit terminal... thank you to everyone who contributes on old blacktree products like this one... if it wasn't for benevolent people we would be screwed. Thank you. And it works great on SL folks 64bit confirmed. Grabbed it last night.

It would be nice to have a little clarification on How this is compatible with Snow leopard when the SIMbl hack used is the older leopard one. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Just because there is a newer version of SIMBL doesn't mean the old one doesn't work at all under Snow Leopard. I have Visor 2.0 and SIMBL 1.82 installed on Snow Leopard and it works as expected.

Hey, I am all for it but when you visit the SIMBL site there are clearly issues he has fixed for Snow Leopard. This is what my comment referenced to. Again, it would be nice to have some clarification on this issue. The developer website would be a good place to explain such discrepancies.

This will all be irrelevant very soon. From Visor web site:
"v2.1 (to be released)
* 64-bit version for 64-bit Terminal.app in Snow Leopard (using new SIMBL 0.9.x)'

Spark cannot do what Visor does. Visor is not an app launcher. Visor alters the presentation method of the Terminal.

This is a cool piece of software I find myself using a lot. So much, that I tracked down a hack to not have Terminal running in the background. http://log-everything.blogspot.com/2006/06/visor-dirrrrty-hack.html has step-by-step instructions for creating a hacked terminal that doesn't show in the dock.

In the features department, it would be nice to have Window Settings preferences available in Visor, rather than the kludge of doing it in Terminal, but in all, it works very well.

VGZ had trouble on 31 Oct 2007

Needs to be updated for Leopard. It will attempt to load with the new version of SIMBL, showing up in the menubar, but Terminal will crash immediately afterwards.

As VGZ says, Leopard Terminal will crash immediately if SIMBL/Visor tries to load it. However, the Tiger Visor/VisorTerminal application will continue to work fine in Leopard, so I highly recommend you keep a copy of that around until Visor (hopefully) gets updated.

I'm really looking forward to a tabbed Visor Terminal.
