Mail.appetizer - Incoming e-mail at a glance
![]()
Mail.appetizer is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), yet. I'm going to release an update for Snow Leopard as soon as possible. Feel free to follow Bronson Beta on Twitter: twitter.com/BronsonBeta
If you are looking for a Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) version, check out the latest beta.
Have a look at your incoming email without switching to Mail. Mail.appetizer is a plug-in for Apple's Mail and integrates seamlessly. The moment a new message is received, Mail.appetizer displays an onscreen notification window. It gives you a brief summary of the message, so you can determine whether the message requires your immediate attention.
Features
- Resizable notification window to fit your desktop.¹
- Custom font for the message body.¹
- Displays sender's photo signature (from Address Book or .Mac).
- Counter showing number of outstanding messages.
- Shows mailbox name (optionally¹).
Mail.appetizer is not limited to your inbox. You'll receive notification for every incoming message, not including spam. The notification is shown after rules have been applied.
¹ These options can be accessed from the preferences panel.
Disclaimer
Mail.appetizer uses – as all Mail plug-ins do – several of Mail's private internal methods. It has been tested with Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.3.9. Due to interface changes Mail.appetizer is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger". Use it at your own risk.
Herald - a notification plugin for Mail.app, Apple's Mac OS X email client
![]()
Herald is a notification plugin for Mail.app, Apple's Mac OS X email client. Inspired by the excellent Mail.appetizer plugin, Herald shows you popup notifications whenever you receive new Mail. It also allows you to perform common actions directly from within the notification window, including deleting messages, initiating replies, viewing messages in Mail, or marking messages as read.
Herald's appearance is highly customizable, allowing you to change the background color, text color, size, shadow, transparency, and position of the window. Herald even provides a scrolling text view so you can read full messages without having to switch back to Mail.
Herald is a free download and requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Note: Mail plugins are not officially supported by Apple. While Herald has been thoroughly tested, it's possible it may cause unintented conflicts with Mail or with other unofficial Mail plugins, especially after OS updates. It's recommended that you backup your computer before installing Herald or any other Mail plugin, and always before installing any updates to Mail or OS X.
Features
- Quick Action Toolbar. Easily perform actions on messages: mark as read, view in Mail, initiate replies, or delete right from within the notification window.
- Customizable Appearance. Adjust window size, position, color, shadow, and transparency.
- Enable Specific Mailboxes. Enable notifications for all mailboxes or only specific mailboxes of your choosing.
- Message Grouping. Messages are grouped into a single notification window to prevent clutter. Flip through messages with a single click.
- View Full Message. A scrollable message window means you can view your full message without having to switch to Mail.
- Automatic or Manual Dismissal. Configure Herald to dismiss notifications after a set period of time or stay on screen until the window is clicked.
- Snow Leopard Compatible. Fully compatible with the latest version of Mac OS X.

Mondrianum - a powerful plug-in that enables Mac apps to leverage the color themes of the kuler community
Adobe® kuler is an online community where you can explore, create, and share color themes. The color themes in kuler are contributed by its users, many of them designers or in the creative business. You can share with the community your own chromatic ingenuity, too.
Lithoglyph’s Mondrianum enables Mac applications to leverage the resources of the kuler community. Once installed, Mondrianum acts like a built-in, system-wide color picker, available in any Mac application that supports this feature of Mac OS X.
