Application Enhancer (APE) is a system used in Unsanity's and third-party products that helps them to enhance and redefine various applications behavior running on your system.
I have a PB G4, and no problems yet. Cleardock, Detour (no customisations yet), Shapeshifter, and Slider are all doing okay. I tested LabelsX and WindowShadeX, and it ran their demos just fine.
Note that Apple will not support any system with APE installed - reason enough to stay away from it as a user. Developers note: you are limiting your user community to those who do not need any support from Apple.
Been using it for WindowShadeX and ClearDock, along with a couple other ones that come and go as I need them.
Highly recommended. I've never had a single problem with it (PBG4), and no noticeable slowdown at all. Fantastic app.
I use it all of the time for LabelsX, Fruitmenu, Cleardock, Windowshade X, Shapeshifter, and for Instant Hijack Server (for AudioHijack Pro) all on a Macbook Pro and before that on a Powerbook. However there have been a few problems with Rosetta applications not starting up since I started using APE with the MBP. The problems, though, have not been so bad that I've been willing to give up using Fruitmenu for more than a few days. I gues you can say that I'm kind of addicted to APE.

If your Rosetta problems happen still even with the new update, try entering this into Terminal.
sudo killall translated

I use it to Run WindowShadeX under 10.4.8 - no problems to date.
I use it because I run Shapeshifter and ClearDock.
APE is very, very bad. Stay as far away from APE as you can. You OS will thank you.
