If you're not already a pro at using the command line, OnyX is a solid choice for conducting routine maintenance and tweaking the interface on your Mac. This free utility shares much of the functionality of applications like Cocktail (which its help files suspiciously resemble), and it can help you with everything from checking S.M.A.R.T. status on your disks to configuring the Dock, Finder, and Dashboard and Expos to your liking. OnyX can even help you run Unix utilities and change your desktop to an animated background. As with all OS-tinkering applications of this kind, most features work most of the time, but your mileage may vary when it comes to effectiveness and stability--so buyer beware (especially given that OnyX doesn't cost anything).

  Version: OnyX (Tiger) 1.8.5

  "GrrrrrrR8!"

  by whitebyrd on July 3, 2009

  Pros: Wish it was as Good as the 10.5x vers but it gets the job done fine.

  Cons: Needs the preferences of the 10.5x version.

  Summary: For 10.4x it does it all safely.

  Summary: Over all OnyX sounds like a great program, too bad i couldn't install.
