The new login screen is hideous.

I'd prefer something like this:

Love the new welcome screen feels a bit quicker to me keep it up Apple I'm starting to get excited about Lions release :cool:
 
The new loginwindow doesn't offer the text above the username box. With previous version of OS X, you can click through it and see the version, build number, time, IP address, etc. It is extremely helpful in educational environment. Hopefully, it will be added in later seed. Of course, Apple may go back to the current style loginwindow.
 
Okay so that's the button im looking for.. What pops up when you click it? I get this by clicking "Exposé and Spaces" That's the old menu right?

*****!! You can now disable "automatically rearrange spaces"! Why is no one dancing from joy? This is amazing!
 
... also, anyone know what this is in the bottom left hand corner (never noticed it before)?:

That has been in OS X as long as I can remember. It signifies being in a folder where the current user does not have write permissions. Usually the easiest way to replicate it would be to go to into the System folder.
 
Login Screen

If you want your shiny login screen, here it is :D

This is the login screen when you lock your screen. It plays whatever screen saver you have currently selected as your default.

Round icons… what's next, round displays and back to clamshell? :D
Otherwise it seems they fixed quite a lot of crashes in Mail, Safari and finally Launchpad doesn't restore emptied folders. Waiting for GM.

That one looks like a screen saver. The user has to read a line of text before they even have a clue what to do. Typical Microsoft 'design'.

Yeah and what's with the press CTRL + ALT + DEL to log in, why can't I just click my user icon? You don't have to press CMD + OPT + ESC on a Mac to login either.
 
dont like the circle contact images in the new login screen though.. would look a lot nicer with rounded edged squares IMO

The feeling's mutual, hopefully Apple will change this on the next update.

My update just finished downloading, brb, reboot. :)

Edit: In reality, it's not that bad. I kind of like it. :p

heya,

Drat, four finger swipe down for application Expose is gone.

Weird, now there's no quick gesture to trigger it anymore.

Anybody know why they would have removed that?

Cheers,

Preview 2-finger Scrolling

Has anyone tried 2 finger scrolling through a PDF document in Preview? It is giving me the weirdest results. If I scroll fast enough, it will scroll normally, but slow scrolling does like a "page push off stack" animation. Even worse, it is skipping information if you don't have the entire page in view! Can anyone confirm they have this issue as well?

ctrl-alt-delete is an interrupt that cannot be caught by any user software. Only the system will be notified. It's simply a saftey mechanism very much needed in Windows.



I'm still unsure about Lion. The one and only reason for doubt is the lack of Rosetta.
 
ah can't wait to get lion! :D loving the new login screen. I hope they update the intro video.
