Application Compatibility


Zooom works with almost all Cocoa and Carbon applications right out of the box - there are however some exceptions. Some of the most widely used applications today use custom windows and/or views that do not have the required Mac OS X Accessibility API support that Zooom requires in order to function properly.

Here you'll find a list of Applications that definately do not work with Zooom/2. So far, I'm going to leave out the list of applications that I've made custom integrations for - because, well, you either have the application and it's working for you - or you don't and it's therefore a moot point (or just of academic interest!).

Known Application Issues

(x = working functionality)

2.2.x Series:
There are some issues with recent versions of iPhoto and iTunes that causes resize to fail - the cause is still unknown, as soon as there is a fix for this a new version will be released.

Note: if you find an application that does not work with Zooom/2, and/or isn't listed here, or you think this table is just plain wrong - please let me know about it - it's often possible to fix Zooom/2 (case in point, TextMate).
