Second installation try seems to have worked out OK.

I s my memory correct, or are others experiencing the same issue?
(I can't figure out how to contact the developer, which is why I posted here.)
you can contact developer through the issue tracking on http://code.google.com/p/macosx-nosleep-extension/
Also, there you can find email.

Alternatively change the icon to something else clearer.

But its missing one thing that I really need. Be able to have it loaded without enabling it during startup. Right now once you have it configured to automatically start up, NoSleep is enabled right away. I want it so that its not Enabled.

I have one problem with it in that the preferences that I select do not have persistence. This makes it so that if I want to uncheck "Do not fall asleep when lid is closed" so that closing the lid makes the computer sleep like normal, the preference reverts when I restart the system. This means that if I want my computer to act normal again without having to uncheck this box every time, I have to uninstall the preference pane object.
It would be great if the developer would make this setting persistent in a subsequent release; it is so close to being perfectly executed.

basically, my headphones broke and i have trouble sleeping without music, but i don't like leaving my computer open and on.
so, i downloaded InsomniaX and couldn't get it to work. then, i downloaded NoSleep and it worked fine. i know what your thinking, (or i would be) "your gonna leave your MacBook on all night?!" i also downloaded a widget for a shutdown timer. set timer to 15 minutes, turn on music, turn on NoSleep, and im off to bed.
Goodnight!

Thanks

- screen comes on again a few seconds after the lid is closed. It takes me 3-4 tries before the system finally shuts down. I'm assuming that the sensitivity to movement has increased for OS 10.6.8. If the screen never shuts off, this is pretty useless to me.
- although the new version does show up in the toolbar on startup, NoSleep is always off on startup regardless of prevous settings. Version 1.0.1 remembered its state prior to shutdown/restart.
Hopefully these bugs can be addressed quickly!
