Fumo is an exciting new Quicksilver interface that is still in development.
Something’s burning…
The smoke effect is courtesy of the application Disco, which includes a framework that enables real-time computation and visualization of smoke. Practicality-wise, it’s pointless, but it’s certainly very amusing.
Smoke can be turned on or off at any time by pressing Cmd-S when Fumo is activated.

INSTALLATION
With Smoke
Drag Smoke.framework to /Library/Frameworks/
- Be sure to hit replace if a previous version of the framework is present.
- Double-click on QSFumoInterface.qsplugin
- Quicksilver may ask you to relaunch. Fumo will be available in the list of interfaces under the Appearance preferences.
- Invoke Quicksilver and make sure the interface works
- To turn on the smoke, activate Quicksilver and press Cmd-S. The smoke will keep running until you press Cmd-S again.
- Move the interface around by dragging the sides. It will remember its position the next time it launches.
