AppSwitcher Control is a handy application which allows you to customize the appearance and behavior of the Application Switcher in Mac OS 8.5. AppSwitcher Control is free.
Requirements:
AppSwitcher Control requires a PowerPC Macintosh running Mac OS 8.5.
Planned Features:
- Ability to customize the amount of space used to display app names
- Ability to order the application tiles alphabetically or in launch order
- Revised layout of options for greater ease-of-use. In particular, I hope to show the position options more visually, rather than using a popup menu
- Any suggestions?
Please send your feedback to appswitcher@pascal.com. Let me know what you'd like to see in the next version!
My Story:
Although I've been using a Macintosh for years, I've never programmed any Macintosh applications. I've played around with AppleScript, as well as a fair amount of JavaScript and a wee bit of Perl in my job as a web designer. But I wanted to build REAL applications. I bought a book called Programming Starter Kit for Macintosh, but even that was over my head. I resigned myself to being a user. Eck.
Then I started playing around with a program called REALbasic a few days ago. Last night at about 8pm I started building this little application as an experiment. Here it is not 24 hours later and the damn thing is done!
REALbasic is an amazing tool from RealSoftware. If you've ever wanted to build Macintosh applications but found the task too daunting, you owe it to yourself to check out REALbasic!
