Upgrading MarsEdit to 2.o

I did upgrade my copy of MarsEdit to the new version 2.o and honestly, I like the old style better. Yes, the new version does look more like all the new Mac applications but that’s part of the problem, it gets lost in the shuffle.

Before it stood out nicely with the sidebar and unique shape. Now, it’s just another boxy application. I’m also a bit peeved you can’t control the width of the column that shows your blogs. It’s fixed width which means to see the title of the posts I have to expand the overall window. Not cool.

Also I’m not a huge fan of the new icon set. It looks more like something you’d find on a Linux box running KDE or ICE.

I wonder what else is out there? Suggestions? Throw me a bone. Must be a Mac application.

Hey there – sorry you weren’t won over by ME 2′s new look. I really like the new icons but I appreciate they won’t satisfy everybody. You might want to check out Ecto:

It’s the only other Mac application I know of with the same specific intent to be a general purpose blogging tool.
