Mac OS X Theme Change in Leopard Seed 9A410

MacRumors · 06:31 PM

An earlier article reported that Leopard Build 9A410 had been seeded to developers.

More images are mirrored here. Note: the hazy pattern of the screenshots appear to be an artifact of Leopard's screenshot tool.

That screensaver, arabesque, looks extremely nice.

Need to fix this link because when i click on it from this thread it doesn't work.

cool, can't wait till October

monke · Apr 12, 2007, 09:49 PM

I like the new look. Looks like Photobooth can do video effects now to. Either that or record video.

Love that new screensaver.

Finder windows still have ugly borders while other apps are going borderless (eg iChat). Did Apple leave anyone working on Leopard over the last 6 months, or was it one guy fiddling with colours while everyone else worked on the iPhone.

On the up side, the OS for the iPhone does look cool...

applekid · Apr 12, 2007, 10:00 PM

I don't know. In some places, it looks out of place. In spots, it looks gray, dull, and boring. It works for iTunes, but I don't know about everywhere else. I miss colors and glass

corywoolf · Apr 12, 2007, 09:56 PM

I haven't had any brushed metal on my Mac for about a year now. I actually got so used to the mod that I almost forgot Apple still hasn't changed it yet. I still can't believe Leopard is delayed because of the iPhone. Apple needs to get their priorities straight.

richmon22 · Apr 12, 2007, 10:00 PM

is it just the shot or do the windows have less rounded corners? not sure i like it

iMacZealot · Apr 12, 2007, 10:01 PM

Interesting. I find it odd that the windows aren't rounded on the edges anymore.

I think we all knew it was going to go this way, a la iTunes and UNO. I'm surprised the buttons are the same. I would've thought they would have gone to that lavendar/grey color found in iTunes 7 and throughout the iPhone.

This, however, seems like not that big of a change. Is a bigger one coming? I like to think so.

Variant · Apr 12, 2007, 10:01 PM

I was expect more... this is pretty much UNO...

Actually, they do. iPhone is a bigger priority. Face it, Leopard is new for us, not most (read: windows) users. If a product like iphone or ipod or some commercial makes a person interested in OSX, Tiger is alone is 99% new enough to them to make the switch. Its not like Tiger is particularly outdated in any way.

Question is: With Leopard delayed, can we assume the same for iLife and iWork?

macbookguy · Apr 12, 2007, 09:53 PM

Are there any other sources on this? If not, I'm not 100% sure I believe it. It just looks like someone got Uno, which I use, working on OS X 10.5.

If it's true and it's catching up with iTunes, that'll be great. I just don't think that's the direction Apple will go in the end...

dartzorichalcos · Apr 12, 2007, 10:02 PM

So where is the iTunes 7-like scrollbar? I think it's time for a change to Mac OS X.

I like the itunes 7 look as much as the next dude, But those aqua scroll bars need to stay!

Viva la resistance!

G5Unit · Apr 12, 2007, 10:19 PM

I would like something more like UNO.

universityprof · Apr 12, 2007, 10:02 PM

Why should we possibly care - especially on a day like today???????

dornoforpyros · Apr 12, 2007, 10:09 PM

So their keeping the jellybeans still? yuck

nagromme · Apr 12, 2007, 10:12 PM

Not everything's grey... but everything may be grey on the top part?

Hey, as long as it's ONE metal look and not three, I'm happy

I'd like to see better shots that show if there's any texture or not--I'm thinking not.

The square corners will take some getting used to!

Ahhh.... the things we Mac users have to worry about would make some people jealous

EDIT: OK, I'm used to the square corners now. Safari looks great with the new metal... AND I see the glass-style scrollbars (which I prefer to the iTunes ones) are still there. For now.

Leopard is coming out in October... It is not the end of the world.

Stella · Apr 12, 2007, 10:36 PM

Screenshot on front page:

wow, look at all that wasted space... just like existing Finder.
Crap UI.

Marble · Apr 12, 2007, 10:38 PM

Could use some good news about now, and this isn't it.

twoodcc · Apr 12, 2007, 10:38 PM

it looks nice and all.....but come october, it better be a heck of a lot better than that

j-a-x · Apr 12, 2007, 10:42 PM

I kinda like the color scheme in mail (although I may be the only one - I've heard a lot of complaints). This looks like mail only darker. Almost like something between mail and brushed metal. I also like the way Camino looks (same style as mail, at least the beta I am using). I wish they'd make everything look like that.

juanm · Apr 12, 2007, 10:51 PM

I'm I the only weirdo here who actually likes, in a certain way, the smeared pattern on the right side in the finder and open windows? It has some kind of interesting paper texture look...

To make it look interesting, however, I have to bend my macbook glossy screen backwards (opening the lid more than usual)
