Update xScope Please

I can't live without xScope. I use it every single day. It greatly increases my productivity and it is a pleasure to use. It does everything I want it to do, and there isn't anything that I wish it did that it currently doesn't.

I can't live without xScope. I use it every single day. It greatly increases my productivity and it is a pleasure to use. It does everything I want it to do, and there isn't anything that I wish it did that it currently doesn't. Except ever since I installed Leopard, its menu bar icons haven't quite matched: xScope Menubar Now, it's not that they are a much lighter shade of gray than the other icons. They are actually supposed to be a lighter shade when they aren't active: picture-3.png It's the little white corners on the inactive tool icons that bug me. picture-4.png The transparent menu bar in Leopard is much less forgiving than the menu bar of yore. You can't get away with using opaque image formats for menu bar icons anymore. I know it's nit-picky, but a much higher level of nit-picky-ness obviously went into creating the application. Besides this small flaw, it is nearly perfect. Most software is quite far from perfect.
