Ultimate proof that the Finder is now a Cocoa application

F-Script injected into the Finder:

Looking around with the object browser. Cocoa all over the place!

The NSApplication singleton and its delegate… So cute!

Have you ever seen the Finder’s Cover Flow from the inside? Look at that setFog: method on the IKImageFlowCell… Yummy!

Ultimate proof that the Finder makes use of bindings:

Seems that the names of the Finder specific classes start with ‘T’. Oh well…

Don’t click on that “switchToSimpleFinder” method or else…

That black Cover Flow background is boring. With F-Script, we can change it to something more disco!

You can inject F-Script into the new Quicktime player (it tends to make it somewhat prone to crash, for some reason…) and then manipulate it with F-Script.
You’ll have to try and find out if what you want to achieve is doable.
