Lab Tick 0.7

Hello everyone,

I saw that Lab Tick has been discussed here before, so I thought I would let you know that after a long time of inactivity, version 0.7 has been completed and released today. The new version includes customizable hot keys as well as better support for both Leopard and Tiger than previous versions did.

If you have a PowerBook or MacBook Pro with a backlit keyboard, you can download the new version now.

Cheers,
Alex

Never heard of it, but it looks cool. Thanks!

Hey Alex, I assume you're the developer?

Thanks for posting this! I used to use Labtick all the time when I used to work for Gravis (I'm sure you've heard of them).

It was the only way we could show off the Macbook Pro's keyboard properly - it's normally too bright for the keyboard to come on in showrooms...

I have tweaked Lab Tick a lot since I posted this message. Version 0.8.2 has been released today, and since 0.7 the following things have been added/changed:

• Italian localization
• power management
• reduced CPU usage
• minor bugs eliminated & other tweaks

Lab Tick is available for free, but I do encourage donations. I am currently running a fundraiser to help raise the money for a new development machine. You can find out more about it (and donate, if you wish) on my blog.

Cheers,
Alex
