This little app is free, well written, remarkably bug free, looks really kewl (at least I think so), is skinnable and (gasp!) is worked on by a developer who participates actively in his forum, fixes bugs quickly and is extremely open to suggestions. He even does regular developer builds and is terminally polite. :)

All of these traits sound familiar?

Here it is:

Do you consider it better than Sysmetrix? It seems to have many of the same functions.

yep and the great qcd skinner xymantix made it!!I had a look at it - it's not the same type of app. One is an application dock / environmental enhancement (weather, system tools, etc.) and the other appears to be a system diagnostic tool. I'm not big on system diagnostics but I am big on app management. :)

Ahhhhh - a Mac clone like ObjectDock.

Well, I guess you met your first person who doesn't like it - I don't like the Mac dock at all. Sorry...

I meant I've never found someone that wanted to get a Mac Clone that didn't like the program, I've found people that don't like the Mac Dock often...
Well, sorry I couldn't be of more help...

I'm not really a Mac fan although I would seriously consider running the OS if it was ported to a more sensible hardware platform (read: AMD). :)

Sensible Hardware platform in terms of price or speed? The Price is high but the hardware is pretty good. Cant complain about the speed anymore either with the G5 out. My dual 1.8 kicks major butta, in my humble opinion. :D
