ROBOTANK Nice quick update. I also received a very quick and polite response about to an email about this issue. Great customer service so far from this developer.

ROBOTANK Just a heads-up: The 10.6.1 Snow Leopard update, which updates Mail to 4.1, breaks Dockstar along with several other bundles that worked under 10.6. Hopefully it's a minor fix and won't take too long to show up.

TVALLEAU Juist in case my reply got buried: the developer has just completed 2.1.3, and it works just fine for me. Very prompt fix. Good Stuff!

TVALLEAU I love DockStar, but 2.1.2 crashes my Mail hard on 10.5.8. Reverted to 2.1.1 and notified developer.

TVALLEAU Great developer. 18 seconds after I posted, he fixed it in 2.1.3! :-)

BLOCKSOFT Great little utility. I discovered it whilst waiting for Dockstar (free equivalent) to support 10.5. It has worked flawlessly for four months since I installed, and whilst I have no interest in the screensaver option, I can see it would be of use to some users.

BABY BLOC I may have to get this now. The addition of a menu-item makes this program useful for me finally. I keep my dock hidden, so dock labels aren't very useful. All I want is the number of mails on the menu-bar, in the least space. Even the old programs that used to do that are growing incompatible (not sure if MailUnread will work with Leopard). And most of them had a useless icon on the menubar next to the number of mails. Like I'd forget what the number was? Happily deleting the icon file made it go to just a slim number. Whew. But now this flashy program, that doesn't cost too much, will do that for me, with maybe some other features too? I may have to take you up on it. Nice job.

SIDDHARTHA Great program, and the developer is awesome, too-I have had NO problems with the software, the price is right, and it does what it says without any issues at all. The developer even emailed me to let me know that my copy had somehow been copied from my system to a file sharing network-I had my Mac open to try and access it from work-this helped alert me to the possibility of other software being compromised. A nice gesture, and appreciated I use the software everyday, and I am quite happy with it

LART Look at Mail Badger. it is Free, does the same, and has more functions. Just search within MacUpdate and compare. BTW: Why bloating every application with an "additional screensaver"... I personally have on one screen. JM2c.

J-A-X The only advantage of DockStar right now is that it works in Leopard and Badger does not.

BILL DAMON Is there a problem with the Input Manager that Dockstar installs? Whenever I install Dockstar on my system I start having frequent crashes of both Firefox and Safari. When I remove the Ecamm folder from the Input Manager folder the crashes stop. Anyone else had this experience? | |
