JPWGIBSON  I have been using OnyX for several years on 4 Macs and have had nothing but healthy, consistant, reliable, stable machines as a result. This remains true with SL; the only thing having changed is an increase in OnyX's speed and increase in its functions and options.

KINETIC  I've been using OnyX since 10.3 and have never had any problems with it. I was a bit hesitant to use the betas for 2.1 after upgrading to SL, but decided to give it a go given the history of the developer and reliability of the application. I used all of the 2.1 betas without issue and now 2.1 final today without incident. Great work on the application.

***..

JASONFANDORA  Always used Onyx until OSX 10.6 was launched. Several issue pops up every other time.

I had high hopes for this version but nevertheless, it still has issues.

First, it locked up on startup. It is running (and doing nothing) for about 1-2 minutes before it actually reacted on my actions.

Anyway, some tweaks still not work with 0SX10.6. It also lacks some new known tweaks already available for OSX10.6.

Therefore I keep using iTweax2. It has all the new tweaks for OSX10.6 and works a bit better for me in general.

I always liked Onyx but nowadays I cannot ignore the feeling it is not developed as it was in the past. A shame really.

SHAUN  Have you sent a mail to the developer about the tweaks that do not work or about your problem on launching the app?

JON555  I've been using this app since the days of 10.4 Tiger and it's never failed me (then again, I never use the betas). It's feature-rich, well developed, and free. Keep up the awesome work devs!

J2MC  Hi Joel! I'm Jose Medina (J2MC Graphic Designer).

Congratulations for the OnyX "Snow Leopard beta version".

I have installed it in my computer (iMac 20" Intel C2D 2GHz with Mac OS X 10.6.1) and works really fine, no bugs by the moment.

By the way, the icon looks really really great!! (hehehe) ;-)

Kind regards from Canary Islands!!
