Unsanity today announced Silk 1.0, a new haxie which enables Quartz text rendering in Carbon applications: "This means antialiased text in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and many others. Why wait for developers to update their Carbon applications when you can get the silky smooth text everywhere, right now? And of course, Silk is completely free!"

    It messes up IE

    It does good, except that it blurs some text in IE, that only clicking on the text fixes! Also it makes the url & ststus bar text very blocky and smooshed together. Nice idea, but not ready for prime tiem yet, sadly.

    Fonts look bigger

    Everything now seems bigger or bolder and yes a little blurry (the effect is especially annoying in the white on blue links to the left right here at MacNN). I'm not sure if I like it or not, I'll keep it active one day then go back to see if it grew on me...

    Isn't this covered???

    Umm I thought that this was covered in Mac OS 10.1.5 so what is the use of this? Just another case of Unsanity trying to take credit for something they didn't make (a large part of WindowShadesX functionality was stolen from the Cocoa Dev List hosted by Apple).

    Re: Isn't this covered??

    No, actually 10.1.5 provides the foundation for Quartz support. Individual applications needed to be updated to take advantage. Unsanity has done some great work for haxies so far.

    Their haxie for removing the drop shadows in X has finally made my iBook 300MHz as snappy as OS 9!!!

    Great job! And Free! How can you complain?!!?

    Windowshade X

    How did we steal windowshade x functionality from Cocoa-Dev? I've never once seen any mention of anything windowshade related on cocoa-dev.

    support@unsanity.com -- I'm waiting for a response ;)
