7.12.07 Yojimbo 1.5 Widescreen

I’ve updated the Yojimbo widescreen hack for version 1.5 (which supports adding images and icons by the way!).

Download

Installation

This hack is for Yojimbo v1.5, and has only been tested on Leopard. It should work on Tiger too, but I can’t guarantee it!

Backup Yojimbo first. Nothing bad should happen, but belts-and-braces, you know? Also, if you get sick of this view and want the old one back, just replace it with the backup.

To install, ctrl-click on Yojimbo in the Finder, choose ‘Show Package Contents’ from the context menu. Navigate to /Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ and replace the OGMainWindow.nib file with the one in the download.

Thanks Jon. With Letterbox for Mail and this for Yojimbo, life is full of widescreen goodness again.

I use this Yojimbo icon:

Best one I’ve found so far, really much better than BB’s original.

Cheers, John

Those are lovely!

I use the pot icon from the Sakura Set: http://hybridworks.jp/ (sadly its a flash site, so no direct link)

Thanks John! I had no idea this hack to Yojimbo existed. Sweet is an appropriate word.

Nice, but I noticed a bug. If you resize the window vertically up, the main item list becomes smaller, and if you resize it down, it becomes larger. Other than that, seems great! Thanks!

Thanks Jon! Now I can upgrade to 1.5.

By the way, have you tried Together 2? The concept is somewhat similiar to Yojimbo, but it keeps files in its original location, instead of moving them to a database. It looks nice, but leaving the files somewhere kind of breaks the purpose – at least for me.
