Vad kan detta vara, nån som vet?

Teaser Sans Details

I can’t talk specifics, but I can tell you this: one of the most popular Mac web sites will be releasing a couple of totally awesome pieces of software that will make OS X that much sweeter (did I just type “totally awesome”?!?). I’ve had the honor of beta testing these two jewels and I can’t tell you how much I enjoy them — and I guarantee you will, too!

Nån som vet vad detta kan vara för nåt? Bara en hype eller nåt bra?

Hmm, den där tråden hade jag inte sett innan. Men frågan är om det är det som Maury McCown (han bakom RAILhead Design) syftar på. Jag uppfattade det som att det *inte* var Apple som skulle släppa detta utan nån annan populär macsajt (vilken??). Borde han inte ha skrivit Apple om det var Apple?

Hmm, kan det vara detta kanske?

Näe precis, jag hoppas verkligen det är nåt annat, men det skulle stämma in på "one of the most popular Mac web sites" i alla fall...

Det där med Panic kanske inte var så dåligt gissat, idag skriver han såhär:

Your Favorite New CandyBar!
I dropped a hint in Monday’s news post when I announced my Apple Hardware Icons: “you may find [them] useful in the very near future!”

What was I referring to? A new icon utility from the Iconfactory and Panic, Inc., and how you’ll be able to change your toolbar’s “Computer” icon with a fancy new icon of your choice. Sure, there are already a few toolbar icon changers available — but all of them pale in comparison to CandyBar 1.0! From the press release…

“CandyBar is an easy, safe, and surprisingly fun way to customize many MacOS X icons, including the toolbar, folders, media and the trash can. CandyBar brings together clever engineering and gorgeous icons to make customizing your Mac deliciously easy.

“CandyBar transforms the MacOS X user experience through a simple drag and drop interface, which is logically grouped into icon categories. By dragging icons into and out of icon wells, users can replace or restore the default MacOS X system icons quickly and easily.”

Trust me, you will LOVE this program — and since it came from Panic and the Iconfactory, you know it’s rock-solid. Head over to the Iconfactory and get the full details on this jewel!

Jag vet faktiskt inte om detta var det han syftade på eller något helt annat. Men han är ju rätt fixerad vid ikoner och skrivbordbakgrunder så det kan ju vara sant. Lite av en MWSF2002 i så fall...

Men han skrev ju att det var två saker han testat som han gillade och detta är ju bara en så vitt jag kan se...

He he, jo det var faktiskt lite kul att kunna kludda på skrivbordet!
