In addition, it supports the shortcut key for each menu item, the long-press of the mouse button to invoke a contextual menu, and both Carbon and Cocoa applications (and status bar menu). The Universal Binary runs on Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. [Download - 3.0MB]

  • Nano 1.1 (free) is a described as a major update to the open-source C++ framework for developing modern high-performance Carbon applications. Version 1.1 adds over a dozen new views, all of which are rendered with CoreGraphics for resolution independence, and several of which were previously only available to Apple's own applications. The release also includes over 30 improvements and bug fixes. Built around the native Carbon framework, Nano allows developers to create 64-bit clean, resolution-independent, Universal Binary applications. [Download - 3.7MB]

It runs in the background and allows users to enter custom messages. It runs on Mac OS X 10.2 or later. [Download - 1.3MB]

Much better than the last version. You can finallly add your own messages. Great job! But to make it a truly exceptional program, it needs to run stealthy on the desktop. It needs to be able to be installed on your childs or spouses desktop and set to automatically run every time they log in. What better way to reprogram your family without their knowledge? Once the app gets to this stage it will be worth paying for.
