About April 20th, 2005

Loads of comments! 10:04 am
Lots of comments on my LJ this morning so I'll answer many of them in a 'meta-post'.

Firstly hot keys are broken and I will fix but not necessarily before the end of the week (I have a real life too :)).

Secondly the pager as it stands is fairly temporary &emdash; the title bar will disappear eventually.

Thirdly I am going to assume the later builds work on Tiger despite someone claiming the 19/4 one didn't due to overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I don't know why this particular person had difficulty but the log message they got was related to an earlier 0.5 release.

Fourthly feature X from old DM will be implemented in new DM, it might just take a while.

I hope that is everything :).

Desktop Manager website moved 11:44 am
I've switched http://wsmanager.sf.net/ to point to the new Desktop Manager home page. There will be a notice about Tiger compatibility when the site update cronjob fires.

Oh, and Google Maps UK has launched. Wooo!

Reverse engineering OS X 09:57 pm
The recent work I've done reverse engineering OS X to add transition support to Tiger was, I thought, the basis for a nice little article — so I wrote one. Thanks to everyone here who tries out DM on Tiger. You are doing a great job.

Now someone just needs to submit it to Slashdot and MacSlash. I would do it myself but I'm English so could never blow my own trumpet like that :). [Now it appears that it is already on /. — I gave in]

Finally here is some more documentation (in the form of a header-file) for CGSInvokeTransition() and friends.
C code ahead! )

Update: And MacSlash has picked it up.
