What's new in Metallifizer

Version 1.3a1:

Preliminary support for stripping out brushed metal out of Panther's Finder.
I have only tested this on Panther, so I have no idea if it works on Jaguar; if you use Jaguar, you best still be using 1.2 as this version offers no advantages suitable for 10.2.
I suggest adding Finder.app into the settings panel manually. it's in /System/Library/CoreServices/ directory.
Other Carbon applications will probably not look good at all metallifized.
The separator bar on the Finder windows will not be metal, but it also will not be cleared and will contain various 'tracks' when you drag it around. I didn't have enough time to find out how to defeat this, but if you're brave and have the abilities, the sources are in the SDK.
