i really like this thing

it works nicely, has a few different magnification modes besides the original one macs use, the new one actually works better i think. check it out if you wanna have a nice looking desktop.

I've been using it for several months now and it's been working great. There are still several minor bugs still yet to be swatted, but bugs are bugs and they must go. Its a great program and should catch on rather quickly after its official release.

yeah, the only problems i have with it are the fact that my taskbar often coems back after it is hidden, and winamp doesnt show up on it... i have to switch winamp to appear in taskbar, twice, and save in order for it to show up

idk, nice program tho

Does anyone know how this program performs on multi monitor setups?

Just wondering because I dont want to install it on my main box if its going to be weird with multi monitors like some programs are.
