Post your Quicksilver Interface!

[tempques]

I love this little app, and lately I've been looking for a new interface. After trying out a couple of looks, I decided it might be neat to see how other MR users had theirs configured. Below is my current look, let's see yours!

Just in case some might not know: type COMMAND + SHIFT + 4, then hit SPACEBAR. Invoke Quicksilver and click on it, and a picture will be saved to your desktop. :)

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Not sure how long this thread can be kept alive. There's only two standard interfaces (as far as I know), but maybe someone can surprise me with something nice and special... :)

BTW, I use the Bezel one, too...

[epochblue]

The interfaces included with my QS are: Cube, Primer, Bezel, Menu, and Flashligh. And there's a third-party one floating around out there that smokes :)

Personally, I use the Bezel with a little bit of glass. I'll post a shot later when I get back on my Mac at home.

Menu, Cube, and Flashlight are available via the Plug-In pane, I think.

Go to the plug-ins bit, and search for 'interface' :)

Just guessing, but it could be that you do not have the latest beta (http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/)...

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Menu, Cube, and Flashlight are available via the Plug-In pane, I think.Thanks, found them... :)

Still went back to Bezel, though... ;)

hehe - that's exactly what I did....used Flashlight for a little while, but I just find the Bezel interface to be far-and-away the best.

I like how I can see what's behind my window too much to get away from Bezel. Unfortunately Safari 3 beta has ruined this for my now opaque Adium message windows :(

As promised, here's my QS interface.....pretty standard....

You enable the iTunes plugin, and then you just scroll through the list of actions for iTunes.

You're looking for the Flashlight Interface plug-in in the Plug-in pane.

I've got all the browsing functionality, and all I've got installed is the standard iTunes module. :confused:

EDIT: Just to clarify, these aren't actions for the iTunes.app itself; they're actions of other items in your primary search, like iTunes Playlists.

Right, that's all I installed as well. Once I have itunes on my quicksilver, I press down and I get to browse.

I also installed some type of notification program / album display so I know what's playing, so I don't even have to bring up itunes. Not that there's anything wrong with that ;)

[psychofreak]

This is what I use for iTunes...changed my life!

ok i got it figured out now... thanks you guys!
and about that program you use to show your current track; what do you use? I use "You control Tunes" i actually like it a lot!:D :D

You don't need anything other than QuickSilver. I used to have YouControlTunes or any of a half dozen other programs, but then I discovered that QuickSilver's built-in stuff puts them all to shame. To control/display stuff in iTunes:

1. Make sure you have the iTunes and Growl modules installed (and of course make sure you have Growl itself installed).
2. Go to the "iTunes" panel on the main preferences screen and check "Show Artwork", "Monitor recent tracks", and "Display track notifications".
3. Go to the "Handlers" panel on the main preferences screen and select Growl for Notification.
4. At this point, a notification will pop up whenever iTunes changes tracks. Go to your Growl prefpane to change the display properties for that notification. Additionally, I setup QuickSilver triggers for iTunes; if you set one for "Show playing track" (I use Option-Command-i) it will pop up the same Growl notifier to show you what track is playing at any time when you press that key combo. I also use Option-Command-RightArrow, Option-Command-LeftArrow, and Option-Command-Space for Next, Previous, and Play/Pause respectively.

With QuickSilver and those steps, I have completely eliminated the need for any other iTunes control/info program. QuickSilver's handling of these events is more elegant than any other program I've used AND it conserves resources by allowing you to run fewer apps in the background.

EDIT: If you've seen Growl then you're probably fully aware of this, but see attached screenshot for an example of QuickSilver using Growl to notify me of the track information. Growl style is Music Video.

As am I & I'm liking your color choice. My grayscale trip is ending, time to add some color - well, black and shiny black. :) Looks good. [edit, finished the fix]

Lookin' good.

And yeah, I've been stuck on greyscale for a while now. I like the cleanness, I think. It makes icons and other bits of color look that much nicer.

[dennisb]

I'm not a big fan of the shiny gear icon. I replaced the defaultaction.icns file with the arrow icon used in Leopard stacks. (I know it's a minor beef, but still...)

I'm using Showcase right now.

That is absolutely gorgeous! As soon as I buy my next Mac that's the first thing I'm gonna install (after Quicksilver obviously!).

Another reason why Quicksilver rocks. :cool:

Sad to think that there's still so many people out there who don't know about it ...

[UMHurricanes34]

QS seems to crash a lot for me, anyone else have issues with it?

[vohdoun]

anyone else have issues with it?

Nope. Been using it for a few years now. Don't think I've ever had it crash.

[Osarkon]

It crashed after I installed the Showcase plug-in earlier.

Before that, I don't think it's ever crashed.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

Nope. Been using it for a few years now. Don't think I've ever had it crash.

It doesn't really crash like other programs, it usually just disappears and the only way to get it back, for me, is to use spotlight as I don't have a dock. But it crashes daily on me, nothing too big, as it is still in beta.

[MrSmith]

Life without QS is unthinkable. :cool:

[Slvgx]

QS seems to crash a lot for me, anyone else have issues with it?

QS crashes about once a week for me. It's by far the most common crash on my computer. Normally I'd be annoyed that it crashes like that, but since QS is by far and away my most used and OS X altering application, I can't use a Mac without it, so it gets plenty of slack about crashing weekly.

Changed to default Flashlight with superfluous visual effects off:

I've always tried to get QS's bezel interface to look EXACTLY like OS X's Alt-Tab scheme, but I could never get it spot on. Has anyone tried it?

Is it ever going to NOT be a beta? :P

[TuffLuffJimmy]

Doesn't look like it as I hear Alcor has stopped developing it. It's going open source though (I think)

[j0hnab]

How do you capture quicksilver's display only? I know of cmd shift 4, but y'alls look more crisp than that.

You can.

Go to the quicksilver preference pane and navigate to catalog. Go to custom, click the plus symbol on the bottom, and add whichever folder you would like to scan. After that's done a drawer should slide out letting you select how deep to scan. Be careful as this can slow down your response time with a lot of files. :apple:

[Samelson03]

Where do you guys get different interfaces? I only have the Bezel one.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

[Samelson03]

I can't find where to get the interface Cube

[MrSmith]

Quicksilver prefs > Plug-ins. Tick Cube Interface.

[Samelson03]

I mean where do I find it on the web

[MrSmith]

I thought it was part of the standard package now. You have the most up-to-date version?

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I thought it was part of the standard package now. You have the most up-to-date version?

it still is. Maybe he needs to connect to the internet since (I think) it downloads each plugin you select. Or maybe you just need to refresh the list.

[Samelson03]

I had a older version. Got it now thanks.

[MrSmith]

Now go pimp that mutha!

[Samelson03]

I forgot how to bring up QS. What keys do you press?

[MrSmith]

I forgot how to bring up QS. What keys do you press?
I forget the default but you can find out by starting QS from the Applications folder then open its Preferences and in the Command window see the HotKey Activation settings. You can change it if you want. Mine's Control-Space Bar and Spotlight is Apple-Space.

For those quicksilver pros, how can I transfer my quicksilver settings from my Mac Pro to my MacBook?

Thank you for inspiring me to use this program love it

I would think you move Quicksilver's preference file from Mac Pro to your macbook. I'm not entirely sure though. Worth a try.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but dennisb, where did you find the leopard stack icon? I've poked around a a lot in the System Library but can't seem to find it.

Thanks in advance,

I been able to install the plugin but I can't figure out how to set different colors on my top bar and list bar. As you can see both mine are blue. How did you do it?

Sorry to dredge up an old thread but this is the coolest thing I've seen today.

That gear icon had always kept me away because it never conveyed what the action was. To me it said "settings." Now I can use QuickSilver without it freaking bugging me. Thanks!

By the way, to anyone wondering how to do this, the file is in the Dock.app in /System/Library/Core Services/ Search for it in coverflow view and you'll find it. Make a copy and rename the png to defaultAction.icns (no need to convert it to an icon) and drag to QuickSilver (right click > Show Package Contents) /Contents/Resources/. Then restart QuickSilver.

Now all someone needs to do is make a Lion QuickLook interface:

[sclough]

Here's mine just for fun. I've found mini-bezel to work the best for me and then I tweaked the colors. I'm so glad to see someone has brought QS back. I've been using Alfred, and like it, but QS just matches my brain so much better.
