Mint Leaves

Posted 3 December 2007 in by Sam Brown - 2 Comments

I’ll leave this one for Shaun to describe:

Leaves is a dual purpose plugin (but not a Pepper) for Mint that simplifies viewing and comparing multiple Mint installations at a single url. Its two interfaces are device-appropriate views into your many Mints. In MobileSafari, Leaves becomes Junior Mints, a multi-Mint, Junior Mint-like widget. On the desktop, Leaves becomes Monumint, a frame-based multi-column, multi-Mint display. Leaves is a regular Pepper Jekyll and Mint-er Hyde!

Monumint

Monumint is simply multiple Mints in multiple frames within one page. You can set the value for the maximum number of frames to display thus avoiding horizontal scroll hell, the default of 3 is pretty sufficient and if you have more Mint installs listed then you can select the appropriate one from a drop down menu.

Junior Mints

Junior Mints are like little widgets for MobileSafari and look like so:

You can get your copy of Mint Leaves from the Peppermill.

I would love to hear what everyone thinks of Mint Leaves, both the desktop and mobile versions, especially those using the desktop version and how many Mints you are squeezing into the one frame?

I have 5 “leaves” but I only display 3 at a time—which works out well on both my desktop LCD (1680 pixels wide) and laptop screen (1440 pixels wide).

It’s just too cool, especially on my iPhone! Now I can feed Mint-y addiction to my websites all the time :D And it’s very handy on my desktop; 3 leaves being displayed on a 1680×1050 LCD (browser window is about 3/4 of the width though)
