Sticker 3.1.0RC1
Sticker is a desktop tickertape messaging client that specialises in flexible handling of ticker messages more>>
Main features:
- Scrolling ticker or threaded tree views for reading and sending messages
- Integrated virtual presence
- Multiple tickertapes
- Message processing rules
- Secure messaging
- Windows desktop integration.
Enhancements:
- Reduced CPU usage on Mac OS X from unusable levels to below 10%. Further reductions await improvements to SWTs animation timer support.
- Updated to SWT 3.1. SWT 3.1 significantly improves support for Linux, Solaris and OS X and this update fixes various bugs on both platforms, including truncated text in combo boxes on OS X.
- Added full application menu support for OS X, including support for accelerator keys for the Preferences command and other common commands.
- The docking default location has been changed to the top of the screen on OS X so it appears under the main menu. This works better than at the bottom, which is often used by the dock.
- The currently active presence status is now shown as checked on the status menu.
- Reduced the sensitivity of Stickers "idle detection" logic to reduce liklihood of mouse jitter affecting accuracy.
- Now tries to use a shortened version of the local domain in the default user name if available e.g. "user@dsto" rather than "user@sticker". If a domain is available, it is also suggested as a presence group default.
- Fixed a bug that was hiding subscribed "personal" groups in the preference window.
- The Windows installer no longer installs Sticker as a startup item for all users, just the local user.
- The Escape key no longer exits Sticker.
- Message actions "Beep" and "Mark read" can now be negated (i.e. can specify "Do not beep" and "Mark unread").
- Added "Copy Message" command to ticker context menu.
- Disabled auto hide for Gnome. Will be re-enabled when its implemented.
- Improved the order and naming of message actions.
- Fixed error when using a scope combined with "*" for Elvin connections.
- Fixed problems with launching the system default browser for opening attachments. No longer requires workaround for Firefox users on Windows and users of any browser on OS X and Linux.
- The "Online People" window is now titled "People Online" for consistency.
- The Messages Window and message composition dialogs now appear as top-level windows on Windows and Gnome (they are now visible in the taskbar).
- Autopopup now works correctly on OS X.
- Fixed problems with presence status sometimes showing Sticker as offline when in fact it is connected. This often occured after a server restart.
- Now executes a full reconnection cycle if disconnected for more than 30 seconds. This works around various reported but intermittent errors that seem to be due to the auto-reconnection logic in the Java Elvin SDK.

Metronome 1.8.2a
This is such a simple yet convenient metronome for Mac OS X. more>>
Metronome 1.8.2a is such a simple yet convenient metronome for Mac OS X. Most functions (start/stop, change tempo &etc) use only one key to facilitate one-handed operation. A unique Accelerator - begin a difficult piece slowly and gradually speed up by any rate to any maximum tempo. A Tempo Finder - use any key to tap a tempo and put it into the metronome. Save favourite settings for easy re-loading.
Metronome is designed with the practicing musician in mind which means that it's fast and easy to use. Nearly all of Metronome's functions and settings can be changed by using a single key. You won't have to put your instrument down to change the tempo (arrow keys) or the accent beat (number keys). Stop and start by tapping the space bar (or the Enter or Return keys).
Major Features:
- An accurate Tempo Finder which allows you to tap any key to set a tempo.
- Easy keyboard input to set two bell accents on any beat from 2 to 9, and a text field to enter any other arbitrary beat as the accent.
- Stop and start the metronome by pressing the space bar or the Enter or Return keys.
- Fast and easy tempo changing using buttons on the main window or the arrow keys.
- Easily change the sounds.
- The unique Accelerator which allows you to make Metronome speed up at a rate which you determine. This feature is designed to let you play a difficult passage at a slow tempo and gradually (at the rate you set) increase the tempo until it reaches whatever speed you want it to stop increasing.
- Save and re-load groups of settings so you can quickly reset favoured groups of settings.
- Runs at any tempo from 0.1 beats per minute (once every six minutes!) up to 999.9 bpm.
Enhancements:
- Beats per minute (bpm) in text fields now behave correctly on non-English systems.
- If you use English as your computer's language, there is no need to update to version 1.8.2a, but this version will also run fine on your system.
Requirements: Require Mac OS 10.3 or later
