Yesterday I released an update for iTweak which fixed a couple of issues in the search and replace mechanism. I updated the download link for this site, but had an error in the URL. The link is now fixed and you can download iTweak.
Thanks to the clever guys at MacRumors, the multitouch gestures known from the new MacBooks are now “available” to the MacBookAir as well as all the other MacBooks with semi-mulitouch. YAY!!!
So here goes how you do it:
- Backup your MacBook!
- Make sure you run Mac OS X 10.5.6.
- Download and unzip the modified kext file.
- Using the Finder, navigate to
System/Library/Extensionsand delete the fileAppleUSBMultitouch.kextBacking the file up to another harddrive isn’t such a bad idea.
- Put the downloaded and modified kext file into the folder you just deleted the one file out of.
- Open up Disk Utility and repair the disk permissions. This will take some time.
- Restart your Mac. Enjoy full multitouch!
Thanks to DjAmTraX for providing these great instructions.
I take no responsibility for the result of my above instructions whatsoever. Do it on your own risk. Be warned!
Did you ever want this cool image-zoom effect? You click on an image and the image enlarges itself right in the window? No reloading and it all looks sexy? Well this tutorial will show you a perfect and easy way to add an effect that will enlarge your images right in your iWeb-made site.
Image Zooms … what? Not sure what I am talking about? Take a look at the demo.
The internet has quite a variety of scripts that allow you to create these zooms. Here are just a few:
All of them are very easy to integrate, but Cabel Sassers FancyZoom is the simplest. That’s why we will be using his.
Now let’s get started.
Besides all the bug fix updates in the past weeks, me and my partner have also been working on a new feature for iTweak. This feature is called “File Copy” and will come in especially handy to those who spice up their sites with lot’s of scripts or images. The new feature will bulk copy files or folders from one location to another. So instead of you manually moving the files from folder x to the published site, iTweak will fully automate the process for you.
The way in which it works is pretty self-explanatory, so just go ahead and download the new version.
Sorry everyone for the thousand iTweak updates I have been pushing out in the last two weeks. I think we moved from version 1.4.5 to 1.4.9 (that’s four updates). The basic changes of all these updates are as follows:
- Favicon Tag now XHTML Transitional valid
- Contact Form is no longer based on redirects. Thus, Google shouldn’t give you any sitemap errors.
- Password Protection made a bit easier by combining the two textfields into one. The tutorial is already updated.
- The addition of a favicon causing weird characters such as “d>d>” to show up in the site; now fixed.
- iTweak no longer reads widget markup, google verification and other unimportant files. This makes the processes way faster and no longer causes the hitcounter error on the google verification file.
- iTweak will no longer fail to add the contact form if other xml files are present.
- Contactform will now take the style of textbox in which the keyword is contained for 100%. No more ugly fonts.
- Fixed another important bug in which the favicon addition causes your site to end up so corrupt you can’t even trash. Sorry about that.
- Lot’s of bugs are fixed.
Please just continue to update to the latest versions of iTweak. The newest version of iTweak is now 1.4.9. Make sure you run that version before contacting me about errors or bugs. They might have been fixed already.
