XLR Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Looks great! Also it would be cool to make it auto-hide on boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch_de Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 offtopic: Is there no way to use such Apps like Airradar with that WLAN USB? No WLAN (Mac) App seems to work with non buildin WLans, because Framewaork/driver of Apple isnt used with Realtec WLAN USB Stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwgdrwg Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Works ok in fact it loads when i plug the adapter in whereas the original realtek one doesn't. The refresh button might be better placed in the Networks pane. oops found the on/off doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Mac OS these WLAN USB sticks are just like wired network interfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please tell us how you did it (what steps)? Did you have to decompile the original application? I am just starting with XCode and any pointers would be useful Thanks!!

RN95 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I It does :-) Excellent work - All I ever wanted from this client was to 'AutoHide' on boot up. BTW - The 'Minimise' (Hide ) yellow button has disappeared from the GUI. Any chance of bringing back? Cheers Edit: The red button does hide it - Shouldn't the Red Button be a 'QUIT' function ?

You typically don't want to quit this application, since this also terminated the connection. You can still quit it from the dock menu. BTW: ESC hides it as well.

BTW: ESC hides it as well. Yes, you are right. I was just being pedantic and would have wished the new version to preserve the original button function. Thanks again.

Thanks for this tip,did not know you could decompile nib files. Now I can modify the prefpane I have been using for my wireless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
