Disk Clock Widget
May 17 2008

WANDERER  It does not work on a PPC PowerBook running the latest Leopard.

The widget just sits there with the "Computer Generated Dreams" logo.

The demo on the web site did the same thing.

ALBERTO_CORBI  You're not right: the OS does not do what Icosystem does.

- It doesn't color icons, just icon names

- It won't display animations

- It won't apply color to just icons (and not to the icon name)

- many other things, you're missing.

Icosystem does do all the previous actions!

Have you really tried Icosystem? It's worth $8!!

GARY30  Plus, Labels X, even though I very much like the people and the effort at Unsanity, will probably never work on Leopard because the APE situation looks untenable. Also, from what i can see, this app isn't a hack and finally, OS X's native label colors suck.

Stuffit Deluxe
Nov 22 2007

FLEEB  OS X's built-in Zip compression is quite useful, but not perfect -- it does not preserve creation dates. I have no idea why, but if you want to save _all_ directory data for your files, .sitx does it and .zip doesn't. Also, if you need to send Mac files to some poor benighted person running 10.2 or earlier (Stuffit Expander was distributed with these OSes), Stuffit is the best way to preserve Mac resource forks and directory info.

So, not worth $80 but might be worth $30.

ALEXANDER REPTY  Hello,

what kind of Mac have you tried using this on, and could you elaborate on "does not work"?

Does it not start? Does it not set the keyboard brightness? Does it crash?

ALEXANDER REPTY  Thanks for the update. Does the backlit keyboard work by itself, if you let Mac OS X handle it?

Did you try Lab Tick in bright daylight or in a darker environment? Some people have reported that the backlit keyboard might not be visible well even at full brightness if the ambient light is too bright.

Try running Lab Tick, crank up the illumination to the highest level and hold your hand over your keyboard to see if it is lit.

Cheers,

Alexander

WANDERER  A great concept, many a time I remember the look of a site I want to go back to but can't remember the name, Browseback quickly finds it.

However, once the specified cache "limit" is reached the application dies!

Surely it can delete older files in the cache by itself? If you do it manually it works again.

Note: The files are kept in Documents/browseback.

WANDERER  Sorry but it does not work.

The background picture, although copied and made invisible does not show no matter how many times I mount the image.

It lets me select the SLA (the sample resource supplied) but it does not display. Apparently the image has to be read-only for it to display the SLA? I made it read-only with another utility, still did not display the SLA.

Has promise but no performance for me.

ANONYMOUS  Thank you so much for your error report. The error occurred because you either started the application from a disk image or were using a monitor with a resolution larger than 1024x768. We have changed the error message to indicate that the software should be installed on a write-enabled disk. We have also removed the unexpected behavior with higher resolutions. We believe we have dealt sufficiently with both issues. If not, please report it again. Your feedback is highly appreciated.
