Newbies, this is the link you need and remember to install SIMBL first, http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-visor/

Also, after the install, Terminal must be left running, you can close the open window. To configure Visor go to Terminal>Visor Preferences or you can do the same from Menu bar (Visor Status Menu bar Item)

Enjoy!

Kudos to the developer.

[...] big thank-you to Tim Robles for alerting me to the Leopard release in the comments of my previous Visor-related [...]

Hey Tim,

Thanks so much for the heads up — it’s working beautifully! Yay, I have my beloved Visor back! :)

black tree came out with visor 1.5 specifically for leopard. i had the same issues you had with the regular terminal not working, but everything seems to be back to normal with this latest (still alpha) release.

Actually, I’m wondering if this has something to do with TextMate not working properly. (And Leopard’s Terminal itself was giving me a SIMBL-related error and refusing to launch at one point.)

I’ve uninstalled VTerminal, Visor and SIMBL but the blogging bundle in TextMate started locking up when uploading images and getting categories.

Also, the OpaqueMenuBar app doesn’t work and they’re both creating files in /tmp (private/tmp/) so I wonder if the issues are related. (I checked the permissions on both the tmp symlink and the private/tmp/ folder and they’re fine (I recreated the symlink just to make sure).

I installed the latest SIMBL to get visor running on Leopard, and it screwed all my global keyboard shortcuts (like F key for exposé and dashboard etc, and also broke the middle mouse button)

So, it’s not the perfect solution, I had to remove it, shame, cos I think visor is cool!

lol… I definitely wouldn’t envisage a revolution of users migrating to Windows… I was thinking Linux

What i was trying to say Lee is thats the way it has always been with Apples OS, so it’s extremly unlikely your going to see a revolution of people moving back to windows because of this. The revolution happening at the moment, is more and more people turning to mac.
