PS. Isn't this in the wrong section?

I might do that. Does it mess up the file structure? (ie only should do after a fresh install?) or will doing it now (existing install) hurt anything?

I'm not sure that's a great idea for the Apple apps... like Safari. I've seen software update go horribly wrong when trying to update moved Apple apps.

No its fine, it just creates a completely new app and you just move that one.

I think that it should work without a fresh install too although you might have to change the shortcut from the dock

Word is PPC only (unless it killed your 2008 beta?) so what binary did Xslimmer it strip from it?

I never used it on the beta....

but it killed my PPC word, nothing else in the office family though, my guess is that it didnt kill work directly but proably some resource on the system that word used...... best guess would have to be some file system resource

Oh, I see. Ya, used mine once for 4 strait hours doing homework and it didn't crash once. Because it's universal it is sooo much faster. If it just opens and crashed look for a new beta, maybe you have an old one.

I really must say that all of the binary strippers.

Why do some of you have CandyBar with Leopard... I thought it wasn't Leopard friendly, that is why they are coming out with v3.

Dear CandyBar User,

Are you planning to purchase Mac OS X 10.5 ("Leopard") this weekend? Hooray, us too!

But take note: CandyBar 2 won't work in Leopard. Don't even try it! :) Due to major system changes, if you were hoping to change some Leopard icons on Saturday, we're sad to say you'll be (temporarily) out of luck.

The good news? We're hard at work on the next major update to CandyBar! That's right, CandyBar 3 is coming soon, and it'll be worth the wait.

more about candybar 3

We don't normally talk about future products, but what the heck — we'd like to share with you a little bit about CandyBar 3.

CandyBar 3 will continue with CandyBar's proven, safe, and easy system icon customization engine: getting a cool trashcan or replacing the new Leopard default folder will be as easy as dragging and dropping. But CandyBar 3 will go even further, with full support for the new mega-sized Leopard icons (up to 512 pixels in size), a number of new Leopard icon types, and significantly more robust icon restoration.

And one piece of CandyBar 3 is just too exciting not to mention. If all goes according to plan, CandyBar 3 will offer the ability to customize some of the look of Leopard's new Dock! Don't quite like the shiny new cyberspace-shelf appearance? Want something a little more opaque? That's what we're here for.

Believe it or not, that's not even the half of it! There are even more secret, shocking features in CandyBar 3 that we'll reveal on launch day.

the important details

We plan to ship CandyBar 3 before the end of November. Pricing (including upgrade pricing) has not yet been determined.

Additionally, it's important to note that CandyBar 3 will be Leopard only. If you have not yet purchased CandyBar 2, want to keep using it, and do not intend to upgrade to Leopard, we recommend you purchase CandyBar 2 right away. In other words, CandyBar 2 will be effectively discontinued upon the release of CandyBar 3.

We'll explain more once CandyBar 3 is finished.

thanks for using candybar!

That's really it for now. I hope you're as excited about Leopard as we are, and thanks for your patience while we finish up this major new release! I'll drop you a line once we're done!

Best,
Cabel
Panic

[xUKHCx]

Why do some of you have CandyBar with Leopard... I thought it was Leopard friendly, that is why they are coming out with v3.

For me it is to serve as a reminder to check out the new version when that comes out, as well as the fact that i didn't know that it was leopard unfriendly when i installed it.

[psychofreak]

Why do some of you have CandyBar with Leopard... I thought it wasn't Leopard friendly, that is why they are coming out with v3.

Upgrading doesn't get rid of incompatible apps...I can't wait for v3...

[Virgil-TB2]

edit: what's xslimmer?Any of you Beta testers know if Office leaves all that junk in your Documents folder still? And what about CS-3?

With Leopard I am actually using my Documents folder for the first time as it now makes sense to, but all the crapola from Microsoft and "Adobesoft" is stressing me out.

[xUKHCx]

Are you referring to the Microsoft User Data folder, if so yes it does.

too many apps for my stack :rolleyes:, but here it is...

[SevenInchScrew]

Pretty basic here. I will say though, I don't know how some of you stand it with all your CS3 stuff all over the place. I made a folder for all that to go in. Then its all contained in there, not all over my Apps folder. Other than that, just some different icons for things, and its pretty average.

P.S. You stole my wallpaper :p (I swear I had it before I read this thread)

Wow i didn't know leopard had that feature!! I just got it today and I'm installing it tomorrow after school (finishing backing up today). Looks really cool.
In the meantime this is the best I can do :D :

[djejrejk]

My Applications folder is pretty intense so I had to shrink the size of my icons.. I also stash apps such as Super Duper and Carbon Copy cloner in Utilities because it seems like a more logical place.

[Melrose]

Back on topic, those are some intense collections of apps; I separated all my browsers into their own folder, but my number is still pretty small..

eh, I'm happy nonetheless :)

[Everythingisnt]

Am I the only one whose looking at other people's apps and googling the name if they look cool? :P

I found Joost a few minutes ago... It's fantastic!

Regarding applications, do you guys actually use them all. Or even nearly all?

I just looked back through the thread. Am I the only one in this thread so far who uses it?? I really like Joost. I started using it back a year or so ago when the private beta was going on. There wasn't much content back then, and really, there isn't THAT much now. But come on, its free. How can that be bad? I'm pretty bummed that more people don't use it. More people would mean more content. Oh well.

WIth your apps on the external HDD, do the alias auto disappear when its disconnected? Also if you attach that external HDD say from your iMac and connect to the MBP are those applications automatically usuable, and if not is there a way to enable that?

They are aliases because I'm a perfectionist, and I had to get the screenshot to be just right, and I didn't want to mess around with the size of my User Apps folder, but with this, I can resize it all I want, because after I take the screenshot, I'm just going to delete it. xD
