Panic updates CandyBar icon utility to version 3.0

Today, Panic announced a new version of the icon customization utility that adds a bunch of new features, including full Mac OS X Leopard support.
The icon library software Pixadex is now built into CandyBar 3 and ties in nicely with the beautiful UI design. It ties in even further with Leopard, offering Quick Look functionality and support for 512×512 icons that look gorgeous at full size.
CandyBar 3 is available today from Panic for the low price of $29. Discount upgrade pricing is available for registered users of both CandyBar 2 and Pixadex 2. Additionally, users who purchased CandyBar 2 or Pixadex 2 on or after October 1st, 2007 qualify for a free, instant upgrade to CandyBar 3.

Reminder: Enter TaskPaper giveaway until Nov. 30th
Just as a reminder, we are giving away 1 license of the great TaskPaper software from Hog Bay Software on Friday, November 30th. Be sure to enter by commenting on the previous post which contains the review and contest details. Tell us your current method of tracking to-do’s or getting things done, why TaskPaper will help, and how you will use TaskPaper. On Friday, November 30th, we’ll announce the winner! It’s as simple as that.
Getting things done (GTD) with TaskPaper, win a free license!
Whenever I get really, really busy I tend to set about tweaking the systems and software I use for keeping track of everything I need to do. It’s a way of sublimating my anxiety, but in the end it just makes things worse, because all the time I spend exploring new ways of doing things is, well, time not spent getting things done.
Enter TaskPaper, a deliberately simple way of working with tasks. The name of course gives away the metaphor: TaskPaper is intended to have the flexibility, speed, and ease of working with paper. It’s intentionally kept as simple as possible. TaskPaper’s developer, Jesse Grosjean, also produced the much loved WriteRoom (advertised as offering ‘distraction free writing’). He clearly loves simplicity, as embodied in the design of the website and his two programs.
Giveaway details are at the bottom of the post.
