Secrets lets you customize many Mac OS settings that are hidden or incomplete.
Many of these values can harm your system if used improperly. Use it at your own risk.
Requirements
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Installing Secrets
- Double click the preference pane to have it installed.
Using Secrets
- Use the RELOAD button to get the latest values from the web
- Hit the X button (DELETE key) to revert to the default value
- Many values require the selected application to be quit before changing them

Could you add a sentence or two explaining what these are about? Some are very clear; others aren't.
How do I UNINSTALL this? You say how to install, but how do I entirely remove it from my system at some later date? I like to know that about something before I just go ahead and install it.
To uninstall Secrets.prefPane, simply right click (control-click) on the icon in the view all part of system preferences. Then click remove in the list (should be the only thing in the list).
I install it, but immediately get the following error - my only way out then is to force quit system preferences:
Data was corrupted: XML parser error:
Old-style plist parser error:I'm having the same issue as @johnlatvia.
Same, as the above two. On a powerpc / G4 / Leopard latest version.
Same as above. Imac Core Duo running 10.5.2
Same for me. Macbook Pro, 2GHz, 10.5.2... Looking forward to a solution.
Works fine for me until I attempt to RELOAD then same error as those above. Al iMac 2.4 Ghz/4 GB RAM/10.5.2
There needs to be an explanation of what the different colours mean, as well as why some items are bold and other aren't.
An RSS feed of updates would be nice too.
for unistall remove the file in ~/Library/PreferencePanes?/Secret.prefPane
Safari 3.1 breaks Secrets, update please! :-D Thx!
Same problem as everyone above. On a MacBook? Pro 2.6Ghz/4GB RAM/10.5.2
I think a great feature would be to have new secrets highlited. Because when I click on "update secrets", I have no way to know if there have been some new secrets unless I scroll down the whole list.
But except that, it's a great prefpane, thanks a lot for the good work.
I second romain.pontida's idea -- I had assumed that there's some way to view new additions after updating, but that I just couldn't find it. So if this isn't in there already it definitely would be useful to have.
Ive installed it but I cant update it to get any secrets, it gives me the following error.
Update Error Could not download latest data: Operation could not be completed. (HTTP Status error 500.)
Macbook Core2 Duo
same as carlo
secrets.textdriven.com is down
secrets.textdriven.com is still down
its down man
The secrets server has been down for over a month. Pretty obvious that the author has abandoned it. Damn shame too as it was a great app. The least the author could do is stop by here and let us know what is going on.
secrets.textdriven.com is back up now, as of May 2, so the preference pane works again. :-)
Down again (May 3, 2008 10:23:24). It gives me a "500 - Internal Server Error"
I believe it is an .htaccess file error and that if they would delete it or figure out what the problem is with it the site can be up again.
its up as of right now. i JUST updated secrets and have been trying for weeks to update and it FINALLY went just now!
