POP 0.3
POP - POP account email checker. more>> POP - POP account email checker.
POP is a Dashboard widget that regularly checks any POP email account for unread messages. It does this independently and thus does not rely on any other program (such as Mail or Entourage).
The number of unread email messages is displayed on the front of the widget & preferences are set on the reverse side. When the front is clicked it opens the default email client allowing the user to easily access unread mail.
Significant technologies used in designing POP are Perl, Shell scripting, Applescript and XML-RPC Web Service.
Main features:
- Auto-checking of email at a user defined interval
- Status connection messages to inform user
- Informs the user of available updates unobtrusively (via the use of an XML-RPC Web Service).
Enhancements
- Front face reduced in size.
- Multiple instance awareness added (preferences set per-instance).
- Colour changing added; assist distinguishing between multiple instances.
- Account shown on rollover on front face; assist distinguishing between multiple instances.
- Colour swatch added and the ability to enter any hexadecimal color code; allowing the front face to be set to any colour.
- Clicking the front face now launches the default email client correctly.
PopUpX 0.2a
PopUpX - Adds pop up windows more>>
PopUpX no longer works properly wit the current release of OS-X, and given the rumors that proper popup windows will be available in the next OS X release, it isnt worth the time to update it.
A technique that I have found useful to simulate popups is to set the dock to be on the right edge of the screen (vertically oriented) and put folders into it; click and hold to pop up a menu of the contents. You can make this much more effective by customizing the folder icons so they look distinctive. I use the "Can Combine Icons" app to actually add a small text label to the icon so I can tell what folder is what without mousing over it (I bribed the author to add the text stamping feature)

Popup picture is a Free Yahoo! widget that contains a circle that can change to any color that you want, and when you double-click on this circle it goes away and then a picture that you have selected on you computer pops up.
And then when you double-click on the picture it goes away and if you have any more pictures selected (up to ten) they pop up one at a time as you double-click on them, and then once you have gone through all of your pictures the circle pops back up and you can start the process all over again.

MultiDrop - Open files in another app more>>
MultiDrop is useful if you hate to use pop-up windows or if you hate to install such extensions as Glidel and you dont want your desktop to be full of application aliases.
AppTrap 1.0.1
Whenever you drag an app to the trash, a dialog window will pop up, asking if you want to delete the associated system files too more>>
AppTrap is designed with two things in mind:
Extreme simplicity
Being completely seamless
The first point is achieved by not including anything but the main functionality described above. There will never be any spring cleaning or or other snazzy features, not even bells and whistles!
The second point is achieved by integrating AppTrap with Mac OS X. You wont ever see AppTrap except for its dialogue window; yes, thats right, theres no menu extra. Only a background application and a preference pane. Also, the aim is to include as many localizations as possible, so youll have to help out here! Anyway, enough theory, download AppTrap and give it a try!
HappyWife 1.1
Declare your love for someone on their Mac. more>>
HappyWife was written as a birthday present for my wife, Jennifer. It sits quietly in the Dock, and once in a while, will pop up with a declaration of my love for Jennifer. You can enter an unlimited number of declarations, and they will be presented one at a time.
Of course, since its unlikely that you and your spouse are named Karl and Jennifer, HappyWife is customizable - the question, the answer, the button text, and even the name of the application can all be changed.

Plus, Pixinator is a bit more fun, allowing fading between colors in addition to immediate color switching.
Enhancements:
- Added the ability to automatically cycle and fade between colors.
- Hopefully addressed a user-reported problem where multiple monitors werent being used on an ATI Radeon PCI video card.
