Quicksilver Large Type

Question

You know how you can make Quicksilver display massive large type on your screen? (By Hitting . then typing free text, select View Large Type under actions and hit Enter).

Well, does anyone know of a way to do that programmatically? Also, is quicksilver even required or is it built into OS X? I would love to be able to trigger that from bash.

Answer 1

There's no special sauce here. It's putting up a window with the text you type displayed in a large font. Duplicating the effect in a Cocoa app is trivial.

Answer 2

It is confirmed to be fixed in the next release (after b56a7). Better keep an eye on the download area: http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/downloads/list
