Fluid
Dec 30 2007

METAPHYSICAL  Todd,

I'd like to report a bug. When adding a custom-made icon with multiple icon sizes to a new SSB, it looks like Fluid is only taking the largest size possible and using that for the icon app. In other words, it's stripping additional icon size data as far as I can tell. If you replace app.icns (in the Resources folder) with the icon, it shows all sizes properly.

Other than that, excellent work :) Thanks!

METAPHYSICAL  Each all actually update itself if it detects a new version. And yes, I said 'each app' meaning if you're using 10 Fluid apps they'll all need to update =)

****.

METAPHYSICAL  This is a great, much-needed alternative to Mozilla's Prism. For version 0.2 Fluid is miles ahead of where you'd expect it to be. Stability, speed, can't ask for more. Now all we have to wait for are feature additions and a bit more flexibility.

Fluid does as advertised but does have a few expected drawbacks. One thing I'd really like to see is torrent download support. I'd like to use Fluid as a standalone for some (legal) torrent sites and whenever I try to download a torrent file it tells me "Load Failed".

Some other things I'm not sure could be something for future releases are:

- Easier way to change icons (CandyBar is fine but maybe a drag-and-drop option?)

- Eliminate the need to build a new app whenever a new version of Fluid is released. This is annoying more than anything, but again, I don't know if this is possible.

- I'd also love to see some ad blocking implemented.

Thanks for your hard work :)

METAPHYSICAL  Yet another great baseball widget.

Could I suggest changing the interface up a little? How about modeling something after Weather.widget?

Make it like a baseball forecast or something? I dunno, I just think the interface could use more... separation.

Also, the transparent gifs being called from ESPN have some SERIOUS jaggies (see: Giants). How about using locally stored pngs instead?

Finally, THANK YOU!

LOGANROCKMORE  Yeah, the ESPN images really are horrible, but they work and it was relatively easy to create. I'm looking for somewhere that has some better images, but most of them don't have a transparent background. And I'm still debating wether to include images in the widget, because that would drastically increase the widget's file size. Thanks for the suggestions!

METAPHYSICAL  The Mac's best BitTorrent app just got a billion times better.

I just hope they can catch up to uTorrent in terms of features one of these days :)

METAPHYSICAL  Would be nice if proper spelling was used.
