Hack Enables Quartz Anti-Aliasing In All Carbon Apps

Posted by pudge on from the mmm-pretty dept.

Xenex writes "With the release of Mac OS X 10.1.5 a few days ago, Carbon applications now have access to Quartz anti-aliasing. However, we have to wait for developers to release updated versions of their applications to take advantage it. The people at Unsanity have decided that they didn't want to wait, and have released a 'haxie' called Silk. It forces Carbon applications to use the new Quartz anti-aliasing, and my experiences with it have all been perfect. So, now you can have a beautiful Snak, Mozilla, IE ... if it's Carbon, it's made pretty."

    groovy. I'm still trying to resist going to the nearest Apple reseller and trying out a TiBook.

    When I do, the only thing that could save me would be a crappy keyboard.
