Alright recently my Ipod Has decided that it wont sync with my windows pc, it still recognizes my Firewire when I charge it in my dock, but not my USB when I plug it into the compu…

I don't know too much about the Minis, but try finding a friend who has a Firewire port on their computer, and see if you can get it to recognise your iPod via that.. at least that…

With a pretty fancy dashboard widget as well! http://www.delicious-monster.com/blo.../dashboard.mov

And a very slow one at that.

I am not entirely sure what the widget does... it is taking way too long for it to be querying the local database, so is it querying Amazon.com? Then why are only 6 items appearing…

Eye candy.

Ditto. The movie they have took about 10 seconds to show the results of the query. Looks great. But really slow in the performance department. I hope that is not indicative of h…

I can't imagine that's how Spotlight integration would work. The iTunes plugin for Quicksilver is instantaneous, and you don't hear Apple touting Quicksilver as a core part of the …

I was saying that if a small third-party app can manage to do instant file searches, Spotlight (which Apple says is a core part of the OS) should definitely be able to.

SO what is the unified title/toolbar look officially supposed to be used for in 10.4? or is it just going to be used everywhere? Is there a specified rule from apple on the type …

Well there are now three different types of app skin, Plastic, Brushed and Stripe (although Stripe has been pretty much elimintated). Acquisition, which on Panther had a Panther t…

siMac: Interface Builder can change it

That would be interesting to see. But would it make Safari lose some of its identity? Making Safari look unique among browsers was one of the reasons they made it brushed metal in …

From a technical standpoint, there really isn't a plastic look. "Plastic" applications use something called a "Unified Toolbar". As the name implies, this simply unifies the toolba…

Quote: Originally Posted by goMac Some applications in Tiger, like XCode, take on a plastic background instead of the stripes, but I think that is actually hardcoded in and not …

I tried doing the Unified Toolbar look with all Apple's apps. It would work with Safari and Font Book. It also worked with MarsEdit. Too shabby it doesn't work with iTunes and iCha…

So what would I need to do to get a 'Plastic' Safari and Acquisition (mine's still Aqua)? And is a 'Plastic' Finder possible?

I tried it with the Finder but I couldn't find it. If you want to do it with Safari you have to open Safari's "Browser.nib" file. Select "Window" in the window. Press Apple-Shift-…
