Never mind, I just found Painter's Picker, which does what I wanted.

Very cool app. It does a simple task but does it well.

Color Schemer is a versatile application and can quickly generate color schemes. Besides the usual color wheel/theory based recommendations, it has a set of additional tools that come in handy once in awhile such as the mixer and photo analyzer. However, I think it could use some of the features found in the Window's version, such as the brightness/saturation increment buttons.

Well, I just downloaded a torrent with it, and it went off without a hitch. Really nice features and UI. The main thing I really wish it had is the ability to selectively download individual files within a torrent. I guess I'll have to keep Azureus around a little longer. It's definitely got my hopes up, though.

Promising indeed. It's already better than Transmission in my opinion (as an Azureus veteran) though there are a few obvious missing features and kinks. But for such an early version this really shines.

Hopefully in time and at 1.0 it will become "the one". :D

I have NEVER seen a BitTorrent client as fast as this one! I'm currently getting 850kb/s from 28 (118) peers and 48 (189) on a Demonoid tracker. I've never seen over 200kb/s with Azureus and Transmission just plain crawls (not to mention it takes an eternity to even get started).

I'd like to see some changes, however, the most obvious being to interrupt the auto sleep on my PLUGGED-IN PowerBook if there's an active transfer.

On the whole, I'm extremely impressed.

Tried this out this morning and I like it. Obviously, still kind of buggy but it is on it's way to being a great client. I'm so tired of using Azureus and I'm weary of the libtransmission based clients.

The new Transmission is pretty damn good thus its has replaced BitRocket as my default torrent client. I'll be following the progress of this app, however.

Great in-client search with the ability to easily add new sites to search. Nice interface reminiscent of uTorrent. Seems to be fast and stable. Transmission was freezing my internet connection. Still no native-OS X client that allows you to prioritize/select which files of a torrent you want to download. Hopefully this will be a coming feature. Great client over all.

As it's name implies, there should be no doubt that BitRocket is the fastest Torrent downloader. In my opinion, it's the prettiest torrent client, simple interface, with only the most important features.

It does have some bugs. The program can start to act funny downloading torrents several GB large. And I've had problems with it locking up.

In the end, this is the torrent client with the greatest potential. Continued support by the developer would be appreciated by the Mac community.

One of my favorite things about this, is that you can make the icon invisible when the battery's plugged in and fully charged.

Nice app, and does what it says with no problems, but too expensive. This should just be merged with candybar.

I totally agree with mumblingmynah. It should be merged into one app with CandyBar.

I'm an iconoholic, desperately driven to customizing anything in sight (or not in sight). Plain folders really bug me, and a lot of SW developers have poor aesthetics (sorry folks, but...). So, I have massive amounts of icons I pick-n-choose from. Pixadex makes it really easy to find the "just-right" ones for my gratification. I don't do "unified" so it's important I have a wide range to select from, and this app orders them for me. I especially like the icontainer concept, which allows me to install sets into Pixadex in a ready-made group I can quickly identify. I do agree, however, that Candybar is rather redundant and needs to be merged, so forgo it. As to its price, I don't think it's all that high compared to a lot of SW out there that runs up over $30.00 and competes with free stuff that's just as good - or better, the point being, I searched for a freebie to do what Pixadex does and couldn't find any, so I think it's a good value in the long run.

Pixadex will no longer be available as a stand-alone app. It has been merged with CandyBar 3.
