A calling for all HUD fans.
Do you like HUD? and if you could to make all application and utility as HUD or the entire OSX UI?
So, here is your place.

Its very simple in 3 easy steps:
1) Did you make any hud mod? post here and share with us if possible.
2) Have you seen any hud mod around there? post here and let us know/test too.
3) Want to contribute by posting some how-to or something related? Please go on.

I don't know about the entire UI. That would require some sort of ShapeShifter type thing, but it could be possible.

What a cool thread


So Far I've tested all and they are all good

A Gazillion thnx to the Posters!

Is there a possibility of a HUD Apple Menu Bar and the Sub Menus? Is it a lot of work? Possible or not?

Thanks!

Hi guys I don't know if you've seen this but there's also HUD for Quicksilver -- and it's pretty sweet too.

The link is here: http://www.mygnu.com/julius/proj_bezel.html

Cheers

good posts guys
and here's one more

Growl hud notification


http://www.interaktion.info/wp-content/upl...02/growlhud.dmg

can you also add the location where the files have to be replaced please.

usually
most of them goes to English.lproj or Resources folder by right click on app and show package content.

How does one go about changing the styles to make it HUD-like?

....!! I did the HUD style for activity monitor and I wanted to revert back, so I copied back the backup of the original English.lprog or whatever folder but its still in the HUD style How do I go back?

EDIT: Logged out and logged back in and the old style is back Weirdly enough though I didn't have to do that when installing the HUD in the first place

If there is an update that changes the graphic style of a window, and Apple updates what that Window looks like, will it change?

Best topic yet. I'm addicted, anyway to get more?

System Profiler, Safari download window, Finder file copy, right-click context menu...

Also, how are you guys making these, I'm interested in making my own!

where do i put these?
I know how to do the program specific ones, but what about the activity monitor and login and about this mac ones? Where are the original files located?

THANKS!

To install an HUD:

* Go to the app that the HUD was meant for
* Right click on the app and click Show Package Contents
* Navigate to Contents >> Resources
* Back up the entire English.lproj folder
* Replace the English.lproj folder with the one from the HUD archive

@t3nacity

the folder you are looking for is /HD/System/Library/CoreServices

where are the actual instructions to patch our own apps/.nib files?

@thesis :I want your system profiler apple image!!Could u share it?

wow!Thanks a lot Diabolik

Here ya go!

yeah!!Thanks Thesis!

How do you make these?!?!?!

I'm assuming XCode using Interface Builder... but I'm not sure

Tried that, it says, Interface Builder cannot load compiled nib`s!

macrocks

You have to make the localization manually using the english hud nibs.
Almost or all apple system and apps localizations have compiled nibs (unable for us edit it)

The bad of this: adjust the layouts and can't test for example the "about this mac" window in real time

I was really hoping it was easier than this. Therefore, my wishlist continues to remain

Get Info (would be so nice!!), System Profiler, Safari download window, Font Book (OoOOo), Preview (??), Finder file copy, right-click context menu.

Let's get on it gurus

Instructions included this time

Enjoy, and dont forget who you got them from!
-D-

by instructions i was hoping for how to actually change an NSPanel to an NSHud

I am not worthy! Keep 'em coming!! Diabolik FTW!

requested: login window and screenlock window...that will be awesome!

p.s. anyone knows why the buttons , sometimes, when covered , show this kind of...

hmm, terminal become always on top after using hud mod, anyway to solve this?

muitommy

hud exist to be aways on top
because it's a utility window, I didn't see any way to put hud windows as normal ones

i can make a modification to it so when the terminal is out of focus it will automatically hide itself.

lemme know if you want something like that.
-D-



thats my style of making buttons for HUD's, simple yet sleek and you know its a button when you hover over it.

-D-

P.S. LoginWindow is upthere already, if you have installed the about this mac, all your shutdown, force quit and restart panes should be HUD's also.

My Notes: wooooooow

I'm currently perfecting my Safari mods. I'll post as soon as they are stable

show us some sneak peek masterofcomputers

Doing Safari doesn't work very well at all, because the Safari window is not a plain NSWindow, it's a custom subclass of it. On awakeFromNib some special methods are called (bordersize, etc) on the textured window, and an exception is raised if there is no textured window to be found (eg, if you change it to NSPanel). Not only that, but if the window loads up, you need to create a new tab to view any content. The tabs are also pretty terrible looking, as they take the window's background color (which is black, so there is black-on-black text). So it's basically not worth the hassle, not only is it pretty bad looking but it could lead to bad performance because of memory leaks.

that would be great if i can have it, thanks diabolik...
although hud mod is great, but i want it on the bg when i don't use it.

My fault Diabolik, probably I did't say it well , what was intending it's the login window after the boot sequence.

can i know where should i replace the file (MacOSX.tiff)which i download here.

I have tried to make a HUD login window a number of times it fails to login all the time and you get a looping sequence of it trying to show the window failing an retrying.

You can mess wit this one yourself if you think it can be done could be a permissions problem.

Turn on automatic login and then try it by login out, then if it does not work on a reboot it wont show but will still log you in allowing you to replace with original.
