		FontCard is a haxie that modifies the Font menu and the font panel in Carbon and soon Cocoa applications.
		Labels X enhances Apple's file labeling features in Mac OS X. This means that, not only can you apply various color tints to file or folder icons, and sort the files by label, but also you have an option of applying color tints to either an icon or its name or both.
		Menu Master is a haxie that allows you to change or remove menu shortcut keys in any application with ease.

	Haxie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, a Haxie is a hack specifically designed for use with the Mac OS X operating system.
		Haxies are a source of controversy among Macintosh software developers.
		Many of their haxies are now available in universal binary format, either as a final release version or as a public beta, while the others remain under development.

	Haxie Question - MacNN Forums
		Haxie is a very specific term, used by the folks at Unsanity for their products.
		Most of Unsanity's "haxies" are modules for their Application Enhancer system (APE), which is basically a system for runtime patches to MacOS X. So effectively the term "haxie" is usually only applied to APE modules from Unsanity themselves.
		The remaining examples you give (ASM, and CandyBar) are not "haxies" in either sense, they are not APE modules and they are not made by Unsanity.

	NSLog(@"Erik J. Barzeski"); - On Drunken Haxies
		Haxies alter the OS and the way in which an application uses resources, the OS, frameworks, network connections, etc. It doesn't "expose" anything, nor does it exacerbate anything.
		Based upon my own experience, the instances in which an existing bug is "made worse" by a haxie and when there is no bug but only a crash due entirely to the presence of the haxie, the latter outnumbers the former by a magnitude of three or more.
		As long as you are 100% positive that the crash is a bug in a haxie and not just "made worse" by the presence of a haxie, I completely agree with you.

	Application Enhancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Application Enhancer provides a framework that allows third-party developers to write "haxies" for OS X. It also provides a daemon to load haxies when certain applications are launched, including Araelium Edit.
		These haxies, or plugins, are known as application enhancer modules, or APEs.
		A license for the Application Enhancer SDK (required by developers to deploy haxies) is $100 for shareware products or $1,000 for commercial products[1].

	Troubleshooting Tips - NeoWiki
		Not all random crashes are caused by haxies, but we have found a disproportionate correlation between the presence of haxies and strange NeoOffice crashes (this was particularly true of NeoOffice versions prior to 1.2 Alpha, which used Java 1.3.1).
		Haxies work by injecting their code into running applications in order to customize the behvior of Mac OS X or an application in a way that neither Apple nor the application developer intended.
		A haxie may have a bug that causes an application to crash, or it may simply create a condition that the application is not prepared to handle and thereby cause a crash.

	Review of Unsanity's MacOSX Haxies - OSNews.com
		But other than that, the haxie works well (except some crashes of the pref panel if I uncheck the "WindowShadeX Enabled" option) and it is recommended if you miss OS 9 or if you want to squeeze some more speed out of your OSX.
		FruitMenu is another haxie which basically does two things: First, it changes your Apple menu with custom options, and second, it changes your desktop context menu with additional options.
		Overall, possibly this haxie is the one that makes the most difference when changing the OSX UI.

		I don’t absolve haxie authors from responsibility, because it’s their software that’s interacting with the other thing I want to run — and when I find a problem I contact both parties so they can better figure out what’s going on while asking what they need from me to help resolve it.
		Haxies will sometimes interrupt the manner in which RAE will draw on the screen, disable or mess up double-clicking events… basic, simple things that when I program those things into RAE, I just tell the OS to “do them”.
		When a person sees this cool metal-window-be-gone haxie on versiontracker.com, downloads it and installs it, there are never any messages or warning that that little haxie is going to possibly cause him problems down the road.

	[No title]
		This extreme position on haxies and other system extensions is wrong for the same reason that socialism, communism, and libertarianism are, in the long run, nonviable forms of large-scale governance.
		One Apple employee says that the haxies are well written, the other hopes that Apple puts an end to the mechanism that allows the APE to work in the first place.
		So anyone who refuses to use haxies out of fear that "it might make the system less stable" is forgetting that Mac OS X is perfectly capable of locking up all by itself, thank you very much.

	Of BareBones and bias (aka, "Ho, please.")
		Haxies are particularly pernicious, since they violate the boundaries of Mac OS X protected memory space by injecting code and data into running applications that are not there at the request of either the application -or- the OS.
		I think any reasonable analysis of haxies has to conclude that the majority of the problems are with the haxies and not an previously undiscovered edge case.
		James: if "most haxies" cause errors in an application, and most haxies don't cause errors in "most applications" (and, no, they don't) the odds are that the bugs aren't in the "most haxies".

	What's a haxie?
		A haxie is a Mac OS X hack - generally some small thing that adds a feature or changes the way OS X works.
		Haxies can be fragile; OS upgrades can kill them, eliminate the need for whatever they provide, or confuse them into misbehavior.
		If you don't spend much, and delay your OS upgrades until your haxie catches up or is reported to be fine, you can have your tweak.

	Haxie
		A haxie is a "hack" or system modification designed to customise Mac OS X.
		To some extent, it resembles a combination of both a system extension and a control panel (in Classic Mac OS speak).
		Haxies are often customised by means of System Preferences panels.

	Glorified Typist: Labor Saving Devices
		And on the gripping hand, there are the customers, who want the capabilities offered by haxies (and thus enabled by the installation of APE), and who have every right to expect a stable and functional operating environment.
		I use "haxies" only to provide functionality that Apple refuses to give me. Any of the mods for which I use APE modules -- or the other non-APE hacks I've installed -- could be made available by Apple within OS X out of the box.
		In his case, a bug wasn't reproducable without a haxie installed, but the bug was with the application's code, not the haxie.

		I've got both up and running on my Mac, as well as a new "haxie" that helps me understand how busy my 400 MHz TiBook really is. I've also got some thoughts on Mail and fighting spam.

	Protected Application Memory in Panther? - The macosxhints Forums
		What I cannot understand is that you have installed a 'haxie' and are surprised when it causes havoc.
		Of course, I cloned the OS first, fsck'd, repaired permissions, etc and removed some of the worst haxie offenders, but left any that weren't heavily publicized against tempting crashes.
		But it is an application that intercepts key strokes (or events in reality) before other applications get them and then stuff other keystrokes/events down the pipe to the unsuspecting apps.

	Of unintended interactions
		According to haxie logic, it is, simply because it exposed a "weakness" in the transmission.
		You DO take on a responsibility when running a non-standard install, and if a haxie CAUSES the bug it is their fault and should be fixed, but it should not absolve application authors from ignoring their own bugs exposed by a haxie.
		That is where the antipathy towards haxies arises - application developers don't want to have to install APE and various haxies in order to test their apps.

	bbum’s weblog-o-mat » Blog Archive » Sandvox “hidden” feature. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Bottom line: Haxies work by modifying the system to do things that it was either not designed to do or by enabling features that were disable for a reason.
		Haxies screw with the system in a similar fashion as the way an Input Manager (that really isn’t an Input Manager) screws with the system.
		However, haxies are specifically created to make the system do things that it was not designed to do or to enable features that were likely disabled for a technical reason.

		If the only way I could attain good stability under X was to disable all 3rd party prefspane add-ons and modifications, that would not be a good testimonial to the stability of X. WindowShade X is one of my indispensables.
		Personally I'm wary of all of these haxies (having had considerable problems with FruitMenu in the past) but I'll stick with WindowShade because I'd find working without it a complete pain.
