Definitely, just rename the .app file to something else, and run the Profile Manager to create a new profile. In OS X it's a bit more out of the way than in Linux or Windows, but if you check out this page, it tells you how to get to the Profile Manager.

Okay, I've created a new profile, now how do I get GranParadiso to use it?

Any screens of OS X version? They said they improved the Cocoa interface.

I just tried it on my Mac (OS X 10.3.9) and the user interface is extremely buggy. Hardly anything is rendering properly (icons out of place, tabs looking very distorted, ect). Also, web pages don't seem to be using Cocoa widgets, which is a shame, as it means they still have buttons and such that look like Windows Classic.

Is this stable and problem free enough for everyday use? :blink:

Anyone? :blink:

For Firefox 1.5 I jumped in at Deer Park alpha 3, and loved it.

For Firefox 2.0 I jumped in at Firefox Beta 1, and loved it.

It is ok to jump in at Grand Paradiso Alpha 4 this time around? :blink:

It looks as terrible as stock Firefox 2 does. I'm still using the custom Bon Echo build with Aqua Widgets. Hopefully that will be updated by the time Firefox 3 is officially released.

I'm pretty sure they're not using Cocoa yet. Just look at the Preferences Pane... it's awful and it's old elements from pre-Tiger OS X versions.

I can't wait until it seriously competes with Safari. The major problem is still the inconsistent UI compared to the rest of the OS...

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
