  1. I just want to make sure the author is looking far into the future. I get nervous about dedicating myself to a new app, if something superior will come along and replace it. OS X 10.9 will be coming in the summer and from what I've already seen Apple is going to make key improvements to the dock (as in biggest changes since launch of OS X) and to spotlight. They've taken notice of the Ubuntu “spotlight” style menus. It's easy to rethink and design what someone did but the point i find is you don't have to spend 10 or so minutes changing things because it's themed for you. That's why I share mine anyway, it just makes it easier for someone to DL or do some minor changes to his liking. And to show off my crappy theming
  2. Also it would be great to have a lot more control in the themes. Border thickness and so forth. I highly recommend you just let us use CSS to stylize the window. Otherwise if we can only change the color of a few object (no gradients), themes aren't really needed because it's less likely that i would want to download somebody else's color settings if I can easily create the same thing. Keep up the great work! My theme (blur won't work until Alfred supports Antialiasing): http://kzr.me/170w401P1k2P
  3. I just purchased Alfred. I've only used a bit, but I see the value in workflows vs. Spotlight. I'm a visual design, and wanted to created a theme. Can you please put a checkbox for "Antialiased" font only? It's fairly easy to do in your Xcode project. antialiased looks a lot better on dark themes. On the right is my design. Also a few other design workflow type things: Where is quick look? When I search for PSD, you don't expect me to open them to see inside right? when I search for an image, where do I see the inline preview like spotlight gives? How can I hide the long redundant path of Applications under the App? I want to do it only on Applications? (Better yet, it only shows when i hold option or a modifier key) When you first launch Alfred it would be great if you explained to users that to get spotlight equivalent search you need to use "find". My first test was to search alfred vs. spotlight for a filename. Alfred obviously only showed two files, spotlight had 12 neatly organized and grouped. It made me assume that alfred even with tweaking would never be as good as spotlight for search. I almost trashed the app till I checked out the forums and realized that I needed to activate search. Probably just a good idea to let users know that it's a bit different than spotlight. GREAT stuff, keep up the great work. I want to use css animations in my themes :-)
