~pcwiz Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 There is this new app called xMod (used to be called LeopardMOD) that was released recently and its like the #1 app for modifying Leopard. Change menu bar styles, 3D and 2D docks, safari mods, its got almost all. It can even clean up Safari and repair permissions Awesome tool, I love it and it earns a place in my dock Download it here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26707/leopardmod Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91202-xmod-easy-leopard-mods/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Now if this could somehow just work in a fix for the horrible 10.5.2 "slightly less translucent" menus, life would be perfect...

~pcwiz Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Worked fine for me....what changes were you trying to apply? P.S. Theres another mod utility called Xspinner but it doesn't have nearly as many features as xMod.

CarterA Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I cannot apply the changes. I get this error: That was an error with the Menu Bar altering system (I'm the developer ). Thanks for complimenting my software. Xspinner was a copy cat...and incidentally, is not nearly as advanced. The newest version has a ton of features...but now I'm just sounding like an ad. As far as those stupid menus go, I have been trying and trying to fix them. No luck, sorry. If anyone finds a viable way to fix them, you can be sue to see it in xMod...god I hate those things... Any other suggestions for features? I'm always looking for constructive criticisms, except on bad days .

~pcwiz Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 CarterA, is the entire thing done in AppleScript? Or is it AppleScript Studio? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91202-xmod-easy-leopard-mods/#findComment-711837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarterA Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 It's an AppleScript studio app, but the toolbar uses Cocoa. Pretty simple, for most of it, just time consuming to type in all those dang defaults commands.

Rufus T. Firefly Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 It's a lesser Onyx with a little dock app. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91202-xmod-easy-leopard-mods/#findComment-711925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarterA Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 You just had to go and put a damper on the whole discussion, didn't you? First of all, OnyX is a cluttered app. It has a ton of features, yes, but would be better split apart into specialty applications. Every time you open it up, windows pop up, progress bars start spinning, and all of the hidden settings are crammed into a single, ugly, tabbed interface. It doesn't give much information, and doesn't allow you to mess around with a bunch of settings before applying the changes and restarting Finder or whatever app you're modding. Wanna change the list view stripes in OnyX? Hit the box. Wait for finder. Wanna how the quit menu? Hit the box, wait for Finder. xMod can apply things before relaunching the application. A small but important feature. xMod also looks better. If you want an app that has a ton of stuff you don't need, and a long wait time to get to the stuff you do need, go with OnyX. If you want an app that puts settings right at your fingertips, right away, choose xMod. Alright that was kinda like an ad, but I just can't pass up opportunities to talk about my program. OnyX and xMod are very different programs... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91202-xmod-easy-leopard-mods/#findComment-711990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T. Firefly Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Well, Onyx lets you do some of the same stuff your application does. Now your application might have a few more options like: modding the dock, modding Finder windows, modding Safari. Onyx is more of application that acts like the Terminal only with a GUI. Like you said, there different in some regard and their the same in some aspects. I do like the Dock feature. Might I ask what does Stack Rollover Effect do? I wasn't trying to {censored} all over your app, I do like it and it does serve a function that most users will enjoy. ...and about those pop up windows.. just go to preferences and de-select the options that make them. It only asks for a password when you start up the program. Now there is something your program lacks but it isn't a big deal because im the only user on my MBP Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91202-xmod-easy-leopard-mods/#findComment-713342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software Updater Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hate to seem like an ass but the name xmod is currently copyrighted to Radio Shack Inc. BTW, where do I download this? Edit: Doh!

CarterA Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 It isn't copywritten as software...it's an RC car. Creative labs has an Xmod product...it's widely used. I totally agree about OnyX, and thanks for pointing that out about the windows. Sorry I got all defensive, but I'm just too used to people comparing my app to OnyX, I was ready for a fight!

NSCXP2005 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I can't seem to get the stack rollover effect working, I apply the effect and get it to relaunch the dashboard, but nothing happens. Please can you advise? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91202-xmod-easy-leopard-mods/#findComment-717948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarterA Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I really have no idea. Is it giving you an error message? Or is it just not functioning? With my copy it works fine. Make sure you have the newest version, and email me if you have more problems. Oh, and make sure you hit the checkbox, then the apply button, then the restart button.
