Silk: Quartz anti-aliasing in ALL Carbon apps.

[celeborn]

Check out Silk from Unsanity:
http://www.versiontracker.com/morein...5012&db=macosx

Product Description: Silk enables the Quartz text rendering and smoothing introduced in Mac OS X 10.1.5 in all 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!

Features:

* Enables the Quartz text rendering in all running Carbon applications, such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla and many others.
* Exclude list feature allows you to exclude certain applications so they work as before, if the antialiased text there looks bad.
* Convenient drop button in the Silk preference pane to quickly detect if a particular application is Carbon or not.
* Implemented as an easy-to-use preference pane.

NOTE: this haxie requires Mac OS X 10.1.5.

I tried it, and it works great!

Wow, now thats somthin you don't see everyday. It doesn't take slower to load pages either. Good application in my opinion.

Now finally IE just draws pages like OmniWeb! Great!

I feel like Jodie Foster in Contact when she is descending to the beach to see her father again and she says really slowly, "So........beautiful..." This text looks amazing. I love my Mac. On a completley unrelated note, I got my replacement iPod today. I sent it in for repair not a week ago. I guess it was decided it was unrepairable, so they sent me a brand spanking new one. Sweet. I love Apple. I love Apple developers. I love Apple users at this great Apple community. There is so much love to give, I want to give all of you some love. Oh, I'm sorry. It's not every day you're iPod gets replaced free of charge.

Just tried Silk on my LCD iMac and the AA in IE is a bit naff Has a lot to do with anti-aliasing on an LCD screen in general, but still doesn't watch the superior AA quality of Omniweb/Chimera. Other apps seem okay though.

Silk is awesome! I don't mind that it doesn't get it as good as OW or Chimera since something is better than nothing in Moz
