    Interface philosophy: less is *not* more, anymore. Aqua lacks Windows features!.

    I got Drop Drawers from the developer. 1.5 for OS X; latest version. [If you are using the \'Classic\' version, you may be having more success.] I drug the applications from Finder to a drawer. I can double-click them in Finder, but cannot get them to launch from the Drawer.

    I tried Drop Drawers. It would not launch a single application when icons were placed in the drawers. NOT ONE! Triple-clicking would produce no results. I have also found it terribly INflexible and INconsistent in the way it arranges icons, versus same, plus buggy. This makes it far inferior to...

    How do you guys make your OS X look so darn awesome???

    Did not work for me either. Tried 'defaults read com.apple.dock, and it said com.apple.dock did not exist. I tried looking on macosxhints.com, but could find nothing. Also, how does one make jEdit double-clickable, if at all? It looks real neat, but I do not wish to go to the command line...

    GUI Front-ends

    Hey IamBob, I do not know if you ever succeeded with appletviewer. I wanted to do the same thing with gay.com chat. I yanked the applet tag and placed it into an html file. AV never liked any of the URLs I was feeding it locally. I had to place the html file on my website for AV to ven...
