TinkerTool updated

Now Leopard-compatible!

CNET staff

Marcel Bresink's TinkerTool, one of our favorite system utilities, has been updated to version 3.8. TinkerTool is basically a GUI interface to "secret" system preference settings, letting you customize some aspects of the computer that are indeed customizable but to which Apple provides no direct access. These settings are all things you could do yourself with some simple twiddling in the Terminal, assuming you knew the correct defaults write commands; but they are a lot easier to make with TinkerTool!

Among the changes in this version are: Leopard compatibility; ability to disabled the reflective shelf appearence of the Dock in Leopard; and ability to change the destination folder for screenshots.

You can download TinkerTool here. It's free. Bresink offers a number of other great utilities we're fond of, so you might also like to check the products page.
