Hi,

I am new to the forums and I love my mac. I feel a bit stupid asking this, but I saw this screenshot online of a mac desktop and am wondering what the circle in the center, with the iTunes logo is? Is that a program that controls iTunes? or something more elaborate that the user may have created?

Thanks for your help (and patience if it's a stupid question).


Chris

Interesting. I didn't know Quicksilver can do a circle like that. I've only seen it as boxes. Is that a preference or a PRO version?

That's very cool. I love the way it looks. I tried installing the plug-in, but it won't download it. I keep getting a message saying unable to connect to the website, which I know is the wrong one...is there a way to download the plug-in on it's own and install that way?
