X-Assist software adds OS 9 window and menu behaviors to OS X, making it easier and more familiar for users to navigate and operate.
You'll also love X-Assist's extensible "Control Strip" like plugin architecture, which supports Objective-C plugins. These are easy to write, and the distribution comes with example plugins, such as the "SetVolume" and "MP3 Player" tools. The plugin system also enables users to add any hierarchy into a "Shortcuts" submenu, providing quick access to your most-used files and folders.
Another key feature of X-Assist is its OS 9 window behavior, which displays all windows for an application when you switch to it. This behavior has changed in OS X, and can be a bit annoying for users who prefer the old way of doing things. X-Assist brings back the OS 9 windowing functionality and also allows you to toggle between modes.
Finally, X-Assist offers easy access to System Preferences (Control Panels), a feature Mac users will appreciate. All in all, if you're looking to add some old-school Mac functionality to your modern Mac computer, X-Assist is definitely worth the download.
