The whole "translucency everywhere" thing has to go... I understand if you love it, but -- honestly -- you need to at least make that a checkbox toggle preference.... I believe you'll hear most people find it distracting.

You might be able to get by with leaving shorter-lived panels (levels, etc) implemented in that fashion, but the toolbar palette is just annoying... as well as color swatches, brushes, and other more long-lived windoids; make 'em all solid like the color palette, please.

The toolbar palette icons, on the other hand, are well-handled. I appreciate the use of scaling animations to indicate the active icon. That is a much more successful application of Core* eye candy.

As far as being a "UI for CoreImage" is concerned, I think that's actually a compliment... You sorta want to be able to say something suitably similar for every application on your computer.

It's a sign that the developer of an application is really making it a Mac application.

You basically *want* applications that aspire to be serious media editors to be written atop the APIs Cupertino engineers maintain and optimize... Coz they've been maintaining a great track record of progression and optimizations with *every* *single* *release* since OS X started shipping.

Ultimately, however, Pixelmator is an app worth watching, but isn't ready for daily use just yet.

Download link doesn't work... really got my hopes up, too.

Oops, sorry I was a little vague... what I meant is that it simply shouldn't be a drawer -- should be more like the sidebar in mail.

Main problem with the drawer is that there's no way to show/hide it and keep the window completely maximized -- at some point, the window will have to be resized manually (with the mouse).

Thanks for including a link to the dlta version, directly on the product page! Not sure when you started that practice, but this is the first time I noticed it.

Not to mention it's a fantastic theme; thanks!

I have loads of work to do, and no time to do it all, so I'm going to have to keep this rather short. X-Chat Aqua is *the best* IRC applicaton for OS X... one might even be tempted to argue that it's the best in the world.

While I wouldn't call it your grandmother's IRC client -- haha... sorry, funny image -- however, if you actually know IRC, you'll need less than a day with this program to arrive at this conclusion for yourself.

The bottom line is that, as of Jan 2006, there is simply no better IRC client available for OS X than this one.

Please axe the project drawer. Apart from that, it's the best editor (that requires a Window Server) ever.

... Ever.

Great application. Really wonderful work. It still lacks the ability to recognize foreign key constraints, however... Windows version's got it implemented, PLEASE implement a working foreign key constraint editing functionality.

Would give it a 4 for value, IF key constraints were in there, but I wanted to obviate my disappointment with the fact that it's just not there.

For now, serious admins should stick to phpMyAdmin.
