Candy Bar 3 Features Preview

Written on October 24, 2007 by Danny Greg and 2 people have commented

CandyBar Some of you may or may not be aware that the founders of Panic Cabel and Steven F, both have their own personal blogs.

Recently Cabel, while updating us all about the compatibility states of all of Panic’s apps with Leopard, let slip a few of the future features of the upcoming CandyBar 3.

First the bad news: CandyBar 2, does not and will not launch in Leopard due to a “well designed security system”, however 3.0 is coming . CandyBar 2 will be discontinued after CandyBar 3 is released, which will be Leopard only.

So what are some of these new features then?

Well the big one is that 3.0 will allow customization of the Leopard dock. There is no clue as to what extent you can play around, but I would imagine it will be a great way to customize the appearance of your new Leopard desktop.

Other future features include: support for Leopard’s new, enormous, 512px x 512px icon size and “significantly more robust icon restoration”.

We can expect 3.0 to be with us before the end of November.

    Does anyone know whether 3.0 will be a free upgrade for registered 2.x users?

    He did not say in the blog post, but Panic usually offer paid upgrades at a lower price.
