Fumo update

Remember Fumo? Well, I have slowly been unraveling the source code Alcor kindly provided, and am starting to get the picture of how everything works. I’ve been playing around with different interface ideas, and for Fumo, have so far got something like this:

Yeah, I know it’s a far cry from the actual interface mockups Pavel created, but it’s a start. I mean, I’ve been whinging about this a lot, but you try to subclass views that are as cool and extreme as Quicksilver’s - without looking at their implementations. As ytrewq1 described, writing plugins for Quicksilver is a tedious process involving looking through the available code and just experimenting until something goes right.

Having said that, I’m having a lot of fun writing code for my favorite app, and it shouldn’t be too long before Fumo hits the market… uh… streets. It’s a great idea that is just waiting to be created (in fact, it’s been waiting for several months now. Before I knew about it, of course).

Got any ideas for Fumo? Or for a plugin for Quicksilver? I’m eagerly awaiting that comment

Update: Download a (still unstable) version of Fumo from this post.
