Unsanity rides again onto Leopard

We just noted how some of the folks associated with unsanity were branching out onto the iPhone, and now unsanity itself is showing signs of life. In a couple of blog posts they've announced the return of their somewhat controversial Application Enhancer "haxie" technology with a Leopard compatible beta, APE 2.5b1. The APE plugins allow for unsupported functionality to be added to various parts of OS X, but have been blamed for causing problems. In any case, Leopard broke APE and along with it various popular utilities like WindowShade, FruitMenu and others.

So if you're the type to throw caution to the wind and have been waiting to get your APE haxies back, the betas of APE, Smart Crash Reports, FontCard, Menu Master, Silk, FruitMenu, and WindowShade are available for download (scroll down) from unsanity.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Unsanity releases Fruit Menu 3.4.2

fruit_menu I'm sure that many of you old school Mac users out there (like me) miss the "classic" Apple menu. The first two things I did on any Mac I was working with was to add an alias of the hard drive as the top item in the Apple menu, and an alias to the Applications folder as the second (yes, I realize I can do the same thing with the dock, but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks). Unsanity's Fruit Menu brings some of that functionality back, as it lets you customize your Apple menu under Mac OS X.

This current release features a long list of changes, including Finder smart folders, a "recent servers" folder (one of my old favorites) plus various bug fixes. Check it out, and take back your Apple Menu!

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
