The last Audion Face I'll mention that is worthy a look, is Y5.2 from Sascha Höhne - the artist who made the MINIUM and MINIUM2 icon sets, just to give two examples. I don't think there's been a theme more copied than BBX Mercury, well, perhaps the Milk theme. There's a BBX Mercury Audion Face available too if you know how well that theme and look was perceived back in the Shapeshifter days. Two more that I personally like are ƒ1 and ƒ2 Touch Screen II, SpinCycle, Batface and Console. The Audion Faces I personally recommend are those from David Parise Sleeve and the recently developed Music Widget are two apps that takes from this lost era I'm trying to transition my skins to Audion instead since it works with the Music app and Spotify without a hitch.Īudion made a comeback recently, and for Spotify Spaudion. Except on Mojave and Big Sur we're all good. It's probably the change from Spotify and the app authorization that killed off Bowtie on Monterey. I've been trying to find out what could be wrong. Spotify or Apple made a substantial change that in comparison to Big Sur won't function. The same can't be said about Bowtie, AppZapper, Disco or Menuet.īowtie has a tough time on Monterey for some reason. The Pixelmator developers seems to be doing alright with their app. Pixelmator was initially laughed off as being "a noble concept that would never be released" Essentially being called screenshot worthy and nothing more. I would put Pixelmator and Bowtie in the same category as AppZapper as being part of the Delicious Generation
SIMILAR TO APPZAPPER UPDATE
The disc burning app called Disco was a fun app.ĪppZapper didn't survive as well as Delicious Library seeing that the latter is available to download on the Mac App Store and has been updated recently.ĪppZapper got an update recently too - I believe in 2020 or 2021 - an update that didn't make a difference in its algorithm, perhaps just made it more usable on modern macOS's
The Music Widget app is an awesome feat.ĪppZapper was part of what was dubbed the Delicious Generation of apps along with apps such as Menuet(an iTunes player that had skins that would pop down from the menubar - skins made by the popular desktop customization artists at the time), CoverSutra(a very popular player in style with e.g TunesArt, Neptunes, Sleeve Seeing such apps make a comeback is very much appreciated. That's why I so love Bowtie, Audion and apps that allow for a much more personal desktop environment on the Mac. Well, at least I can only speak for myself. I think perhaps we can thank those apps a lot for how customers react to the whole widget-scene and how we want a better system than what Apple is currently offering in Monterey. thank partly Konfabulator/Yahoo Widget Engine for that. Just take a look at how now, widgets on the desktop is a big thing on iOS and macOS too. If you want to correct me or offer more context to all this, then by all means do so :) I just would like to give some historical context to the years where AppZapper was developed and how much more fun Mac apps were back then. I'm not trying to have people stop using what they love.
The icon is cool and the effects were cool too, not so much the screen flashing. Or why I think AppZapper is not cool anymore.
