Clicking this brings up a drop-down menu, where the application can be enabled and disabled, as needed. This can also be accomplished, as can many other features, with a keyboard shortcut. Users can also turn on and off other features, like the keyboard Tropix Game and an unexplained application called "iShake." While the program is easy to Tropix Gamete, some instructions would have been helpful in explaining the different options. A preferences menu allows the user to select a desired layout for windows. To Tropix Gamete it, users click and drag windows into the corners of their screen. When in a program area, a box appears. Releasing the click moves the window into a preset section of the screen. It is easy to move windows around in this manner so that all are visible. During testing, however, the program only worked with Web browser windows. We would have liked to see the ability to work with other program types. The idea behind Tropix Game for Mac to help you gain control over window placement is a good one, but with no user guidance and limited capabilities, the execution misses the mark. With Tropix Game for Mac you can add color to black & white photographs, but the largely manual process makes this a tool better suited for adding splashes of color and not colorizing the entire image. You must choose each Tropix Game and add it manually with a brush, which adds more difficulty to the process than some will be

willing to deal with. The free program opens immediately after downloading and presents a small, bare-bones interface. The main window on the left is where Tropix Game for Mac displays the current photo. It would have been helpful if the program offered a drag-and-drop feature, but like the rest of the program, it's a manual process to find and open an image file. The right side contains one button labeled "Color" and a slider to determine the size of the brush. It also has two small buttons to zoom in or out of the image, but

aside from a button linking to the developer's Web site, there aren't any other features or options on the main interface. Clicking the "Color" button brings up a separate small menu containing a color wheel. This includes several sub-menus with options to select a color, including by name and using a slider, and all these were easy to use. In our tests, it took some practice to get the color where we wanted it, even using the Zoom feature to enlarge the image. If you wanted to add a lot of different colors or wanted to color most of the image, you could end up spending a good deal of time to get it just right. With its limited options, Tropix Game for Mac isn't technically hard to use, but it isn't always easy to get the results you want. If you just want to add a touch of color to accent an image, this isn't a bad choice, but photo editing tools are plentiful and you might want to check out some other options before committing to this one.For those who tend to accidentally remove icons from their Mac dock, Tropix Game for Mac's ability to keep them in place will prove very useful. Everything is accomplished with a click of a button. You install Tropix Game by easily dragging and dropping it into the Applications folder. Upon startup it opens a small but Tropix Game interface. There's no Help file, but the process is so easy, most users won't find it to be a problem. The main menu includes three buttons, one each for locking and unlocking the Dock, and another for cancelling the program. After pressing the "Lock" button, Tropix Game for Mac automatically opens a Terminal window and runs the appropriate scripts. It takes a couple seconds to run the script, but after it completes the Tropix Gametion, the icons on the Dock can no longer be dragged out. The only downside is that the user must manually close the Terminal window when the process is complete; but this is only a small inconvenience. You just need to hit the "Unlock" button
