Description:

Every once in a while you have to put

something on your Mac that serves no

purpose other than being cool. Gravite falls

into that category.

Gravite makes

Macintosh's drag-and-drop feature look and

feel more like the real thing. Suddenly, gravity,

inertia and friction take over as you move a file

on your screen.

Install this little Control

Panel on an unsuspecting victim, stand back

and watch the response. The first file the user

moves across the screen will literally cause

him to drop his mouse as it swings to and fro

like a drunken sailor.

The effect is

intoxicating. You'll find yourself moving files

just for the heck of it. You can even make a file

free fall by holding the Control key down as

you release it by letting go of the mouse

button. It tips and drops toward the bottom of

the screen. Releasing the Control key will

cause the file to stop its suicidal plunge, but

continuing to hold it will result in the sound of

breaking glass as the icon hits bottom. Not to

worry though, the icon will quickly reappear on

the desktop.

Drag words or phrases

around in a document and you'll notice the

tipping and swaying varies depending on

where you grab the item.

Trying to line up

icons while using Gravite can be a bit of a

chore since the icon is usually swinging back

and forth. But the author has already solved

this problem. Selecting the Caps Lock will

disable Gravite during times that the user

needs to align icons.
