nice .:)

hello! finally some eyecendy for us mac users :)
did u take a look at growl? months ago i have suggested its support if u can remember

Well, finally something that can be looked at with interest.

From the UI it does look like you indeed are doing a good job. Congratulations.

+1 on Nuckin08 request, the columns about the WOW version an addon is built for and last update are quite interesting to have.

But I'm sure you can customize the column view… right? ;)

Let's hope the code now is up to the UI!

Two things I would love to see Curse Client show in the column list is "Game Version" and "Last Updated".

Just an honest request :)

Please be sure to add support for new Warhammer Online Mac ...

EA/Mythic just release their beta for the Warhammer Online Mac game client .. but sadly the Mac CURSE client lacks support for the Mac Warhammer game client..

Thanks..

if you need more info on the new Mac Warhammer client..

For the mac client, it would flow well if the space at the left hand side could be used for the addon categories . i.e. under "Find new addons" show all the addon categories, and then allow clicking of the one you want to filter the results. This would then use up the current "wasted" space of that left hand panel, and make user selection much easier.

Additionally, if the game in that left hand panel was clickable, you could then get rid of the two controls in the panel above the search results, and just leave "Search" .

Keep the native theme default.

Looks promising.Try it for my new wow trip.

I don't like that dark for windows,it's too dark,i like sky blue,^_^.

Regarding the new Mac screenshot, I think that the "game" and "addon category" dropdowns should be placed at the bottom of the window, and not at the top, near the search input. Just a visual enhancement, but I think it would make much more sense in the Mac environment.

Kaelten says that the issue I mentioned will not be carried over to v4: http://forums.wowace.com/showpost.php?p=283458&postcount=1399

@aldos, as mentioned it is skinnable, there will be other themes available for those who are wanting something other than dark/black.

I wouldn't claim it's been optimized for usability on windows if you're dressing up the app in black like that...

Looks promising.

Just out of curiosity though, I suppose you got the layout heavily inspired by iTunes?

I notice that both Windows and Mac versions appear to "spend" a lot more vertical height per row/addon, meaning that you get to see less addons listed in a similar vertical space than you do with the current version.

Since I have easily over 100 addons installed, I value seeing as much as I can at one time. I would assume that theming will enable a more "information rich, gloss-lite" display would be possible but in case that's not currently the case, it's something I'd add my two-cent vote to asking you to consider, if it would be possible.

The current curse client is working very nicely for me, if this continues the trend, I'll be glad to see the efforts of all your collective hard work.

I hope CC4 won't carry forward the frustrating and nonsensical policy I just discovered in which CC3 will not let you download updates for WowAce libraries that have never had a release version pushed to curse.com, even though it shows them in the updater as installed and having updates available: http://www.curse.com/forums/t/107717.aspx

Despite having specifically chosen to receive alpha versions, the client tauntingly denies me updates with cryptic "download failed" messages simply because there is no 6-month old release version on Curse.com (despite the fact that it is embedded in multiple addons with release versions!).

Yes the windows one can be themed.

We'll ship it with at least the 2 themes, one is as pictured, and the other is a silver theme similar to how the mac one looks.

Well, the v4 client can be skinned and there is at least on additional gray skin available making the client look similar to the posted Mac version.

The windows UI is far too dark (even reminding me of the hideous high contrast windows theme), but otherwise looks nice.

Haha I saw you "windows is the dark one" and thought you were making a dark side of the computing force reference :D

Anyway nice to know you guys are definately working on a Mac OS X Version that works with 10.4 and PPC Macs :D
