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!).

OS Requirements

Zooom/2 requires either Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) or Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6)

Known Application Compatibility Problems

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).
