That was introduced before Leopard came out... sometime in the summer, I think, with one of the QuickTime updates.
I think it's supposed to be stars matching the new aurora wallpaper and space theme. Anyway I found alot of little things I like with Leopard;
When you drag an item you can move it over a finder window that is partly hidden or out of the screen and hit space and it will temporarily become focused under your dragged item, pretty cool and useful
"Space-thumbing" works on a lot of things.
There were some other thing I noticed earlier but it slipped my mind. Spaces suddenly stopped being sluggish for some reason.
Am I one of the few who actually likes Leopard?
I have a question about docs...I did move Applications and Utilities Folder in Docs but if i delete anything from the App/Util folder thats in docs it removes the same item from the main App/Util folder. Can you create something like "Shortcut" in windows. I can duplicate icons but its taking extra space...

hey buddy welcome along.. shortcuts are referred to as 'aliases' on macs. Ctrl click (or right click) and choose make alias.
In Mail, the new mail templates are a bit more flexible than first appear...
If you click on the backgrounds of a template whilst composing, it will cycle through different colour options - you aren't necessarily restricted to the first option that it gives you... A nice find I found by accident...

Now we are talking......thanks
That was what I need ....
Make sure you move your applications folder back to where it originally was though. It can cause problems if it not in it's default place
I've found an easier way - you can now use Cmd+Down and Cmd+Up. These really work very well, I recommend everyone tries them!
Editing HTML pages sent via email
If you send a web page from Safari (File>Mail Contents of This Page) and do not want to send the whole page you can mouse over a section on the page and a little X in a circle comes up to delete that section (be it a table or div etv). Very cool.

If you set a preferred Audio interface in the audio midi settings and that interface disappears it will automatically switch to the built in audio. (here's the new part) if the audio interface comes back it automatically switches back without having to restart any programs. Really handy.
I don't know if this is new but I recall having to restart Itunes/VLC/Quicktime if I didn't have my Audio interface on when I started the program in Tiger. Now I can just turn on the Interface and it'll switch the signal as it loads up. Nice.

You quickest option then would be select the text then go safari>services>textedit>new window containing selection then go print. You could probably even make a automator action for that!
I can't get this to work.... can you explain in greater detail? Perhaps it's limited to certain templates?
New Dock - Better Organized
It was clear to me that the new dock design did not work well with my over stuffed (>100 items) dock. I used it as a reason to get organized and I used the new dock's two dimensions (stacks) to do so. The result works so well I though I'd share it.
1. Make a folder called "Applications Aliases" and in it create folders for each application category you would like to set up.
2. Make aliases of all the apps you want on your dock and place the aliases in their respective folders.
3. Add a space to the alias in each folder that you wish to represent that stack. (This will cause it to pop to the top of the alphabetical list and show on the dock.)
-or (for a nicer look)-
3. Create icons for each category and assign them to unused folders. Place the correct "icon folder" in their respectful alias folders with names like " AAA-GraphicIcon" (This again will cause it to pop to the top of the alphabetical list and show on the dock.)
4. Drag the alias folders down to the dock and you will have an uncluttered and organized dock.

I'm sorry to ask this question, but where is the Mosaic screen saver? I've looked in the screen saver control panel and I've done a spotlight search, both with no success. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
It is a view option when you set a folder of pictures as a screensaver. There is the regular "Ken Burns Effect," a "Falling Photos" effect, and a "Mosaic" effect.
Adamfishercox, thanks for the help. I had taken note of these new icons in the screen saver window, but I hadn't yet experimented with them. Now, thanks to you, I know what they do.
Remove the tacky stars from the Time Machine UI
Time Machine is very nice but i think the UI looks a lot better without the tacky stars flying past. To remove them replace HyperBlueStar.tiff etc and NormalBlueStar.tiff etc in /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources with 8x8 pixel black squares in .tiff format using photoshop or any other image editing app. remember to rename the 8x8 tiffs to the appropriate colours i.e. HyperBlueStar.tiff and HyperRedStar.tiff etc and backup the original files if you want to revert back.
here is the end result. a lot slicker and more professional IMHO.

Lost In Spaces?
OK, forget this tip!
While stickies do stay in their "places" throughout a session, they do not remember their position after logging out or shut down. They all reappear in the place you boot into. Back to the drawing board. . .
====================
Until Apple (or a third party) lets us use a different background image on each of our spaces it is easy to lose track of which space you are in. Until then you can use a stickie to mark each space. Since stickies can hold a graphic, I threw half sized places icon image (grabbed with Snapz Pro X and resized in Photoshop) into each stickie.
