This application is not working for the safari plugin in Mac OS 10.8. We should mark it as unsupported for mountain lion.

This application conflicts with several aspects of Mountain Lion, and should therefore be marked as NOT supporting Mac OS 10.8

This app crashes when I try to use Speed Download. Speed Download opens, but does not download apps from CNet yet. Even after doing remedies from website!! All happening after downloading Lion!!

Does not work in any app that auto-resumes on Login. You have to close the app and reopen it to get the SIMBL bundles to work.

Bill is correct. The colorful icon package is now useless on Lion as well

ColorfulSidebar.bundle doesn't activate in Lion on reboot unless you quit and restart Finder. Afloat.bundle works OK.

Found this somewhere on the web. It works. Don't know who wrote it. Not me.


If you reboot, or logout, then you have to restart Finder once logged in to get the colored icons back. To avoid this, you can add a .plist to /Library/LaunchAgents.

Here's the plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-AppleDTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.example.color.sidebar</string>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<false/>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/bin/bash</string>
<string>-c</string>
<string>killall Finder; open /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>

Just paste the above into a plain text document and save as com.Finder.color.sidebar.plist. Put it in the /Library/LaunchAgents folder.
