TinkerTool 4.2

Send Article to a Friend

Marcel Bresink has released TinkerTool 4.2. New features in the system utility software - which lets you adjust all sorts of settings under Mac OS X's hood - include the capability to force iTunes 10 to use a regular title bar with horizontal buttons, a preference for Apple Mail to prefer the plain text versions of HTML email messages when available, and the capability to disable all RSS features in Safari 4 and Safari 5. The new version of TinkerTool should work better for users with small screens, and corrects an issue with login items, as well. Full release notes are available. TinkerTool 4.2 requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or later. (Free, 1.4 MB)

Minor stuff, but TinkerTool 4.3 has a few more iTunes-related tweaks available now.
