BLOOMSDAY  I have used this utility for five years.

It has always worked very well.

Zero system slowdown.

I would buy it again if I had to.

WEASEL  I purchased You Control when I first purchased my PPC G5 years ago. It has so many features, that it took me awhile figure out what I wanted to use. Eventually I added ALL the features. One time, on an update the developer missed one small feature. I emailed them & they said it would be back on the next update & it was! I've never had any problems!!! I also have You Control Desktops, which is GREAT. You could set a different picture for each desktop so you could visually know where you are at. Years ahead of Leopard's "Spaces" which does not have this option. I give it 5 STARS.

DOOBIEXX  I had ditched you control after I switched computers but eventually it came to mind and I gave it another shot. The program never gives problems, only thing I can complain about is the spinning beach ball when navigating through the menu's. Beach ball Doesn't slow anything down just don't know why it appears at all. Even allows me to click something else while it's still the "beach ball."

It's stability, small footprint, and ridiculous amount of options/menus it is definitely worth giving a shot. You will be very surprised. Great app and becomes more stable with each update.

MANICHE  Nice. Purchased a license today. I like the flexibility. Could you add the possibility to modify the Apple Menu as well (like FruitMenu does, for instance) ? Please give it localization (at least French, Spanish, German) ! and add support for international presentation styles for time/date indicators (24 hours, dd/mm/yy).

GLOBETROTTERDK  I agree all the way with the previous poster, though I think Danish should be added.

MACHEALER  Whenever I try to access modules such as Weather and News Feed they crash the You Control Engine. Overall, the program feels unstable.

SILVERSMITH  I've been using this package for over two years now, I don't use all the modules, but the ones that I do make use of are invaluable to me. I don't like the way they constantly want to pester you to buy the rest of thir products. I understand that they need to make a living.. but plese... just let me decide whether I want the thing and then move on, ok?

And contrary to the earlier posters implication and supposition, I've never been a Windows person.. (excepting when helping friends with their problems on their machines.. which is why I always said.. get a mac!).
