Here’s a few more Leopard folder icons I made recently.

SilverFlow UI for Quicksilver: 3 Pane Mode

Jono — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:52:07 +0000

When I made the Cover Flow UI mock-up for Quicksilver there wasn’t any thought in how it would actually work. It was just throwing the idea out there to see how it could look.

Cover Flow mode is up & running for Julius Eckert’s SilverFlow interface, & it’s taking a bit more thought on how to actually implement it.

For the 3 pane mode (Move To…, Copy To… etc.) here’s a mock-up of how I see it working.

Movie file selected, Open is the default action.

Tabbed to the 2nd pane, selecting ‘Move To…’ as the action.

Movies folder selected as the location to move the file to.

Here’s how it would look if you typed some text (in text mode) & the default option was Paste

And here it’s tabbed to the 2nd pane & selected Copy to Clipboard instead of Paste.

Leopard Folder Icons Updated

Jono — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:59:39 +0000

I’ve updated the Leopard folder icons.

As I made the icons months ago (using the folders from a Leopard beta) I found that the folder icons from the released version of Leopard had been tweaked slightly.

This is especially noticeable in the 16×16 versions. I’ve also increased the contrast of the in the 16×16 versions to match the standard Leopard icons more.

Bezel HUD UI for Quicksilver released

Jono — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:41:22 +0000

Julius Eckert has released his Bezel HUD UI for Quicksilver.
(This is a different version to Julius’ SilverFlow UI & Ankur’s Bezel Pro UI).

Based on the mock-ups here.

Still a few tweaks to be done but already looking excellent. Download it from Julius’ site.
(OS X 10.5 or later only).

Custom SafariStand buttons for Leopard

Jono — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:02:13 +0000

I’ve updated the custom ‘New Tab’, ‘Stand Sidebar’ & ‘Action’ icons for SafariStand.

The Action button could do with being wider (same width as the other buttons) but that’s a limitation of SafariStand (or Safari?).

Old icons top, new versions on the bottom

Get them from here.
(Intructions in the download on replacing the old ones).

Update:
They’ve now been added to the official release of SafariStand.

Custom Leopard Folder Icons

Jono — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:43:26 +0000

I made some custom Leopard folder icons for myself a few months ago, & had no intention of releasing them. But a few people have been asking me where I got them/can they have them etc.

So here they are

Update:
The Finder folder is now being used in Default Folder X 4.
And the Tag folder will be used as the default tagged files folder in the next version of Punakea.

Reassign volume keys on Apple Aluminium keyboard

Jono — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 12:16:13 +0000

Since getting the new Apple Aluminium keyboard I’ve wanted to move the volume keys to F13 - F15, but haven’t been able to do it until now.

I use all of the ‘F’ keys so can’t have the volume keys set as F10 - F12. So in System Preferences I’d set it so I had to use the function key (fn) plus the ‘F’ keys to change the volume. fn+F12 to increase the volume, fn+F11 to decrease the volume etc.

Now with these scripts (for adjusting volume) I’ve assigned triggers to them from Quicksilver. I have F13 for decrease volume, F14 for mute & F15 for increase volume. It doesn’t reassign the system volume keys but it does allow you to use the other keys as well as leaving the old keyboard mappings.

Time Machine button in the Finder Toolbar

Jono — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 13:17:07 +0000

I wanted to have a Time Machine button in the Finder Toolbar & be able to activate it from there.

Makes more sense to have one there & get rid of the icon in the dock to me (I usually use Quicksilver to invoke it).

Download it here (Instructions in the download)

Quicksilver UI - First version of Bezel working.

Jono — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 11:23:00 +0000

Ankur Kothari (from Vacuous Virtuoso) has agreed to make the Quicksilver UI from the mockups I made

~~Here’s the first version of the actual UI plugin that he’s made~~ up & running (not a mockup).

Update 23/9/07:

Here’s the latest version.

There are a few changes needed but overall I think it’s a great start.

Apparently it’s not possible to make the results list like that in my mockup for the current version. But it might be possible once a new version of Quicksilver for Leopard is released.
