The Great Sword Of Linkage
One of the cool things about running Command Post is the ability to direct the spotlight at blogs that might be very interesting, well-written, or compelling, but otherwise unnoticed. There's one I found which I'd like to put at center stage for a day or so, and given that it has somewhat conservative leanings, I felt the Op-Ed page was a good place to do so. It's published by an 11th-grade high school student from North Carolina named Meredith Newmark, she posts with some frequency about the war in Iraq (interesting to see the 11th grade perspective) and it's worth the visit regardless of your leanings. Visit her blog here. There. Hope I made her day. (FYI, you may have seen the blog of her mother, Betsy Newmark, which you may visit here, and which is excellent.)

This topic is one we will tackle later in this article, but it refers to making sure that your application and the dock aren't fighting it out for supremacy of the screen.

Posted by: Gillam at January 24, 2004 02:29 AM Adhere to File Locations. Make sure that when your users save documents, your application knows where to put them and also gives users flexibility. Posted by: Ingram at January 24, 2004 02:29 AM Okay, I just told you what Apple wants you to look out for with window positions, but in the real world, not everyone uses the hiding feature of the Dock, and it is unrealistic to be able to predict where each user will place their Dock at any given day or how large they will have it. However, you can build a feature into your application that allows spacing for the Finder. You can give users the option of where to position their windows and what area of the screen not to cross. I know that BBEdit provides me with this feature, and I wish more developers gave me more control over my windows. Posted by: Annanias at January 24, 2004 02:30 AM Not quite as entertaining as Shrek, but Dock animation can be an important and useful function in your application. For example, Dock animation is a helpful way to indicate the status of your application. Posted by: Jeremy at January 24, 2004 02:30 AM Post a comment
