Fumo Quicksilver Interface: smokin'

The black box problem has been fixed. As well as other updates, support for the comma trick has been added along with fixed up smoke, and the ability to choose the characteristics of the smoke.

Please let me know if you still experience problems with this version. Get it at:

Yeah, I had some really weird GUI errors from running this too. Black windows, really odd behavior for all windows on a second display attached to my MacBook.

Looks promising, but needs work.

Okay, just installed the non-smoking version, and Adium totally wigged out on me. Disappearing text in the chat window, weird overlay with flash from a browser window in, hello, a DIFFERENT monitor... Strangeness. Switched back to Primer, and Adium problems went away!

Thanks, I'll take the non-smoking version. Cool interface even so, and I'd rather not be exposed to any more 2nd hand smoke than necessary.

#9, Re: oddly enough, the smoke effect caused Expose to wig out.. I'd get corruption, or I'd get everything turning black for a second when I switched apps.


This happens to me too, it's nothing to worry about, is it?

I think this is pretty cool looking, and at the very least the smoke-less version still looks nice. I had decided on using the smoke-less version because of the extended bad looking smoke until I noticed someone in the comments on his site uploaded a fixed version. Until this is no longer a preview and the final version is available I'll settle for this, haha. I noticed that the smoke doesn't show up very much until I actually start using quicksilver. Simply invoking it doesn't seem to start up the smoke. Even then, sometimes the smoke is a little slow to float up from behind the top of the box. All in all though, I like the direction this is going.

This thing won't smoke for me. Yes, I installed the smoke framework, and I don't think my Mac's too old (Powerbook G4 12" 1.5GHz with Tiger). Any ideas?

I got trouble using vitrue desktop after installing this. They are using the same resource and it makes both of them crash. Just wasted 15 min of my time.

Thanks for the mention. Oddly enough, that's the second time the site's been called the "Vacuous Virtuos" instead of the "Vacuous Virtuoso". Not a big deal, though.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who provided feedback, and hopefully a lot of the issues and annoyances people have can be fixed up by the next preview release.

Thanks again!

i use the bar interface, and i changed the colour to white [after playing with it in red for a bit]

it doesn't interfere with anyhting, it's out of the way even when in use, and takes up a lot less room. the white helps it blend in with the regular mac interface. it's lovely.
