Showcase Quicksilver interface
A reader tipped us off to this very cool new interface for Quicksilver called Showcase from Julius Eckert. It's basically pure eye-candy, but what eye-candy it is! Taking its cue from Cover Flow it leverages Leopards Core Animation technologies to, er, showcase Leopard's graphical goodness. While I'm not entirely sure it's practical in the long run, Showcase is definitely a fun addition to Quicksilver in Leopard.
Thanks panpot!

I like the look and feel, but it doesn't handle text mode... well... at all!
If somehow the coverflow effect could be made to chill out when the period was pressed I would have joy.

"I started coding an interface, because a friend showed me a mockup of an interface with CovertFlow (you can find it on the blacktree-forums, which are down at the moment). So I will NOT STOP working on this project until I have a CoverFlow-like navigation working on Quicksilver."
U can find this mockup right here ->

Very slick. Nothing wrong with a bit of eye candy :)
Works fine for me, no problems.
Had to go back to different interface. It seems to have problems with commas as Alex P. mentioned.
In my cause I was just pressing comma to select multiple files and it causes Quicksilver to seg fault every time.
Really nice looking, but crashes whenever you type in a contacts name, then a comma, then another contact it immediately crashes. Shame, that's good for e-mailing multiple people. Would love to see it fixed.
Crash happens on aluminium iMac and MacBook, so quite possibly everywhere.
This is great; I may just post this on my own little blog later on. Showcase looks great and anything that makes for a better QuickSilver is fantastic news.

Get rid of the silver part and make it all black-transparent-HUD-window-like plz.
Never understood what Quicksilver was for, because if I want to launch and app that's not in my dock then I will use Spotlight which in Leopard is fast too.
