Switcher PowerUp 1.3

Switcher PowerUp works with MacOS 8.5 or later's Application Switcher. Use it to access most of the Application Switcher's features. Most of the controls are fairly self explanatory and Switcher PowerUp has Baloon Help, so I won't waste too much time on the details here. Just turn on Baloon help if something looks confusing.

Switcher PowerUp is not a control panel. It's just an application, should cause no conflicts and can be placed anywhere you find convenient. However, if you drop Switcher PowerUp on your System folder it will be automatically placed in the Control Panels folder, which is a good place for it, I suppose.

Reqirements

MacOS 8.5 or later is required. AppleScript is required in order for Switcher PowerUp to automatically startup the Application Switcher. If you have AppleScript disabled you can still use Switcher PowerUp, but you'll have to start the Application Switcher manually, by dragging it from the Application menu, prior to launching Switcher PowerUp.

Notes

* When you use a position control the Anchor Point control may also change. This behavior is intentional. It assures that your Application Switcher Palette won't grow off the edge of the screen.
