[xcrysden] More on: Installation of XCrySDen under Mac OSX snow leopard

[Jian-Xin Zhu]

Dear David,

Thanks a lot. With your help, I just installed XCrySDen 1.5.21  
successfully on Snow Leopard.
I don't see the flicker but I do notice that the color contrast and  
font style (now thinner) of the
interface are different from those in version 1.5.17.
Otherwise, it looks fine (not dig deep yet).

Regards,

Jianxin
