[](http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/190577067/?ref=chrismessina.me)It's not quite as revolutionary as the [Constellation interface](http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/97265944/?ref=chrismessina.me), but the new [Cube interface](http://blacktree.cocoaforge.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3806&highlight=cube&ref=chrismessina.me) in [Quicksilver](http://qs.blacktree.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) once again demonstrates the beauty and diversity of [Nicholas](http://blacktree.com/?ref=chrismessina.me)' design talents. I'm admittedly [late reporting this](http://www.tuaw.com/2006/06/27/quicksilver-cube-interface-beautiful-doesnt-do-justice/?ref=chrismessina.me), but I only [discovered how](http://tonyarnold.com/articles/2006/07/06/quicksilvers-new-cube-ui-hidden-preferences-ahoy?ref=chrismessina.me) to [activate](//preferences#QSCubeInterfacePrefPane) the [preferences](http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/07/16/tweaking-quicksilvers-new-cube-interface/?ref=chrismessina.me) for this neat little hack... I also had to get the [latest Dev build](http://getqs.blacktree.com/dev?ref=chrismessina.me) to even get the Cube plugin ([install](id=com.blacktree.Quicksilver.QSCubeInterfacePlugIn)) to load, so it's not surprising that I didn't get around to it until now. At the very least, worth a look.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I'm new to using Quicksilver and it's just what I needed.....

nice. the cube actually looks pretty ugly until you load up the admin pane. it's actually running just fine on Quıcĸsıɩⅴεʀᵦ₄₉ for me.
