This hack is made up of two parts: an INIT which watches what dialog boxes are up,
and an application which hides the Finder windows and throbs the default buttons
(or not) of dialogs.
To use, put the file named DialogWatcher into your System Folder, and restart. All this
file does is watch what the default button is, and store its rectangle in low memory.
(don't ever do this in anything you ship, but I needed a good place and I didn't have
enough time to do it right.)
Then, run the app named OS X Throbber. Turn on the checkbox to start Emulation (this
hides the Finder windows for reasons I haven't fully determined - but it was useful so
I didn't change it) Then select Throb from the menu to throb the default buttons of
dialogs that are implemented using ModalDialog, and select Don't Throb to throb everything
but the default button.
The INIT/cdev is written by Jorg Brown, a modified version of a personal version of
ReturnStillOpens.
The app is written by Eric Traut, based on PowerPlant - the files MultiMonitorApp
and MultiMonitorController, and GDeviceUtils. The file Blenders is my work.
Apologies for writing to low memory, don't use multiple monitor setups, and God bless.
Jorg 'jbx' Brown
ps This hack was written starting at 10:30PM the night of the contest, a derivative work
of Eric Traut's, who wrote the whole thing at MacHack to begin with.
