Hi Esteban, The configuration didn't work out of the box. I had to load the bleeding edge version from the configuration, then manually load the latest Core and all MacOSX packages from the MC repo.
I'll check appkido, thanks a lot! :) Bernat. 2014-05-30 14:17 GMT+02:00 Esteban Lorenzano <esteba...@gmail.com>: > > On 30 May 2014, at 08:00, Bernat Romagosa <tibabenfortlapala...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Installing Alien proved to be quite a challenge... but I managed! > > > why? configuration should work out of the box. > > > Now I got an instance of ObjectiveCAlien that (I think) represents some > kind of dock object, but I don't really know what to do with it... > > Here's what I have: > > #NSApplication inObjectiveC sharedApplication dockTile > > > What kind of methods does this take?
