Uno is a basic, light-weight text editor for Mac: it has almost all the base functions you would expect from an editor like TextEdit. Indeed you'll find it has fewer functions than TextEdit because it is designed to work only with text in the simplest way: starting from a blank window you can do practically anything with your characters. As it is a pure text editor it doesn't work with images or photos you'd like to put in your text. It does open Rich Text Format files (.rtf) and Unicode-formatted Plain Text files (.txt): it saves both as .rtf and exports as Plain text.
What's New
Version 1.5.8:
- New ‘Copy All on Losing Focus’ function which automatically copies content from currently edited file when selecting Finder or another application;
- Now the Duplicate action under ‘New from Selection’ action (Intel version only) has been merged with the ‘New from Current’ (either document of selection) action to avoid redundancy: if the Auto Save feature (Mac OS X 10.7+) is disabled, ‘New from Current’ allows to duplicate the whole document in case no text is selected;
- Fixed all minor issues related to Dark Room mode, especially when selecting text to make a new file out of current selection;
- Almost all options do not need app relaunch anymore.

Note for Mac OS X 10.5 users: although there is a Universal version of this app (see above), it has not been tested carefully on Leopard, and thus it could run with some issues.

BUT:
GUI is ugly and non-Apple (flying window with four lost icons/words – huh, Windows 3.0 like!). Developer should read some basic rules of Apple GUI standards. It should be simple, not chaotic.

This is a rushed project, stick with Bean or TextEdit.

I absolutely don't care about YOUR feedback.
It's my app, not yours. I like people who 'think different' (just to use something familiar) from others, and I do as you can see. Your last post (i.e. the post above) is merely too much away from constructive criticism.
Do you feel a step over others? Well, you're not Apple.

1) Read Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. Menu items like "Make Blueish" or "Turn On" hurt the user's eye. One of many advantages of Mac OS X is consistency, but you're heading an entirely different road. Have a look at NSMenuItem's 'state' property for a more standardized approach. Same goes for using a panel window as a preferences window. That's not what it's for. Read the guidelines and restructure your app's UI a little.
2) The "Help" page is too large for the window. Again, Apple provides information on how to do this properly.
3) The Preferences panel is littered with (Needs Relaunch) labels. It doesn't need a relaunch for most of these settings as you can set these to your NSTextView using observers. Refer to the Apple Developer Documentation for that. Having to relaunch all the time to test a setting is annoying.
4) Most keyboard shortcuts are a bit random and not the same as in all the other apps. Refer to point 1.
I hope this helps you improve Uno. Take some time developing updates. There's no need to rush updates. Read Apple's developer documents, they're there to help. I hope that in the future I'll be able to give it a higher rating.

This editor should be called DIY instead of UNO, hehe! ;)

oh, and "As others have already pointed out, Uno is unnecessary in light of what's already out there. Why "reinvent the wheel?" - you must be kidding, tons of software here and in MacAppleStore are way more "reinvented wheels".
Best wishes,

If Uno is harmful for your eyes or Mac, please hang on wasting your words and time advertising other apps in comments; just suggest other ones.

Text Edit. It's called 'Text Edit Plus'. Check it out.
It's $15 shareware but it's developer says that it can be used free of charge in it's uncrippled state for as long as you want. you don't have pay for it!
Need need to waste your time with Uno.

You say you're developing Uno step by step. To which I reply "what's the point"?
Why not use your talent and creativity to develop something useful and unique instead?
As others have already pointed out, Uno is unnecessary in light of what's already out there.
Why "reinvent the wheel?"
Yodvertising" Text EditPlus X but letting others know of worthy alternatives

As others have said, perhaps this is the developer's first entry into the field and the app will evolve to greater functionality over time. In any case, it is meant to be an alternative to the basic editor TexEdit, having several additional functions TE doesn't.
For example, I like the "stay on top" or flot feature of this one; I have a use for this, so I don't consider it just a vanity app.
One suggestion to the developer: with the "transparency" feature it seems like it would make sense that the command for this ought to be a toggle one; as is, one must use a separate command, "restore to default" (or something to that effect) to negate the transparent screen.
Also, I found the requirements info a little confusing. For anyone wondering, the pure Intel version is only for OS 10.7+; 10.6 users (like myself) should use the universal version said to be for OS 10.5.
