◊ MenuBall is an absolutely useless control panel that puts a bouncing ball in your menu bar. It won't slow down your Mac and it shouldn't crash (but use it at your own risk). Should the ball ever leave a mark in your menu bar, don’t panic: it is harmless, just switch to another application to have the menu bar redrawn properly.
• Instructions
◊ On/Off hot key lets you choose a key combination that will turn the menu ball on and off on the fly.
◊ Enable gravity acceleration changes the way the ball bounces around.
◊ Make menu ball larger gives you a bigger ball.
◊ Move menu ball faster makes the ball speedier.
◊ Show icon at startup tells MenuBall to show its icon when the mac starts up.
◊ Note: the ball speed depends mostly on the application you're using. When a dialog window is open, the ball will usually run a lot faster.
• Distribution
◊ MenuBall is free. You may give it away to your friends, post it on BBS's or include it in any non-commercial stuff you can possibly think of, as long as the control panel and documentation is not modified in any way. If you really like MenuBall, send me a postcard. You may include suggestions or bug reports if you want to.
• Special Considerations
◊ If you can bear MenuBall for more than half an hour, you've earned it.
