14 DAY TRIAL // Fantasktik 1.5 is now available from Dockland Software. The latest version of the company’s taskbar application adds compatibility with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, as well as hotkey support to hide/show the bar and switch between windows and other enhancements.
Fantasktik lives quietly in your System Preferences as an auxiliary taskbar that enables you to keep a close eye on your running applications and their opened windows. Your windows are displayed racked next to one another either just below the menu bar or just above your Dock, depending on where you want them. The application is non-intrusive and opaque, yet highly visible when you need it.
Dockland Software’s Mac app can display a preview of the program / window you are hovering over with the mouse pointer, offering all the information you need to see if that is the place you want to go. In the past, the developers responsible with maintaining Fantasktik added an “enable / disable” option to this feature.
Sleek animations and transparency effects contribute to the pleasant user experience offered by Fantasktik. Mac owners can also use the application to their advantage by doubling with the Expose feature of OS X. The enhancements brought in the latest version of the software have been reproduced below, as listed by Dockland Software.
· Snow Leopard support; · Added hotkey support to hide / show the bar and switch between windows; · Option-click to move applications and windows icons; · New option to add a delay before showing previews; · Increased max preview size; · Fixed French translation; · Fixed an application icon bug when the bar height was increased; · Other bug fixes.
After downloading and installing Fantasktik, the software will run in trial mode for 15 days. It requires at least Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to run, and is now compatible with Snow Leopard as well. A license to own the full version of Fantasktik costs a mere USD9.99.
