Will write a post about the experience soon.

it is completely unrelated to your post but i just wanted to say that i love how you use the ‘@font-face’ rule, it looks very cool in FF 3.5 (dont know if any other browser supports it for now)

cheers

I am guessing that your “UAC like moment” was cause by doing this on an application with no windows.

Also, it is possible at install time to choose which languages you wish (or do not wish) to have (this frees up a few hundred megs). I haven’t looked at trying to do this after the fact though.

Oh, and if you click on a dock icon with two fingers, you can get a menu that lets you quit the app without pulling up Exposé.

The late binding feature of Objective-C was used to read in the NIB, apply the visual features, and allowed me to add a scroll bar to my Stickies app in all previous versions of OS X. Now, I’m stuck with the non-scroll bar and can’t find a way to fix it. I have lots of Stickies that are way longer than a screen heighth. Ideas? Do I need to select all, copy and then paste to the Text Editor and break them up into separate stickies?

This is a major change probably aimed at speeding up app starts, but is a BAD idea, IMHO.

There are also Alt+ combinations to save them to the clipboard. I presume Snow Leopard is still the same – iQ still haven’t got the family packs in yet!

If you’re using Quicksilver you can also use that for doing screen-shots, resizing images and image type conversion.
