3-Column Mac App Goodness

Who loves wide screens? This guy.

Once you go wide, you can never go back. As such, I like my Mac apps even more when they’re tailored for the extra screen real estate.

### Apple Mail ###

You idiots that use Microsoft Entourage and Outlook can no longer tote your 3-column juice. With the help of Letterbox Plugin, I’m now rocking wide.

Letterbox is a plugin for Apple’s Mail.app that takes advantage of your widescreen monitor. It rearranges the interface into three vertical columns — so the message pane is to the right of the message list, rather than below. You’ll probably need at least 1280 and perhaps 1440 horizontal pixels for this layout to work well for you.

### NetNewsWire ###

I live in NetNewsWire. It’s organized, it syncs with .Mac, it’s pretty, and it’s wide. Three-pane RSS feed juice — this is what it’s all about, kids.

What other apps can I three-columnize?
