Nostromo Interface

[Glueslabs]

I'm really liking Nostromo. It's a great interface for older nerds who would rather see what's going on vs having a small minimalist interface.

My one complaint is that I can't seem to invoke when in a full-screen Lion app. Is that a bug?

Do you have QS showing up in the dock? If you do try turning that off
and then using it in apps in full screen mode. I had that problem and
thats how I fixed it.

Rob, who develops the Nostromo interface already knows about this. Hopefully he'll release an updated version soon and it'll be pushed out to our downloads system soon :)

This is exactly the same for me with the BezelHUD interface. Although I think when I mentioned this before it turned out it was only me that was affected thus with this interface.

Done. Hopefully I didn’t screw it up. :)

Side note: This is probably the first 64-bit compatible plug-in to go into the wild.

Thanks. Glad you like it.

Nostromo's really great, and a lot of twitter/tumblr users are
enjoying it too.

Nostromo's default colours turn the Trigger creation panel black,
making it awkward to see what's typed.

More the Trigger panel's fault than anything else.

Yeah I noticed that. It doesn't do it for the Bezel or BezelHUD interfaces which is interesting. I guess it's because the command builder uses the QSSearchObjectCollecting view classes.

Not awkward. Impossible. :)

Yeah, it should probably use hard-coded colors.

But how come the BezelHUD interface doesn't affect this?

Surely the 'headers' colour in the appearance prefs (the one right in the middle) just needs to be changed?

Forgive me if this is entirely wrong. I'm not down on interface lingo/coding

The colors in BezelHUD are hard-coded into the interface. It doesn’t use the colors from Quicksilver’s Appearance preferences (and so it has no reason to change them from the default).

Aah OK gotcha. I thought it would have been a silly question by me. Thanks for clearing it up Rob :)
