My best guess would be that maybe the update fiddled with your colour settings or something. Or else it's the placebo effect. Having said this, your eyes are clearly better than mine; look at your dock! How can you see anything on there? You are clearly half man half eagle.
Nah. if my job did not include so much confidential info, I would show you my work windows desktop. kinda looks like this ad.
I am very thankful for the dock and expose.
Hints on new hardware have shown up in previous updates.
Not to mention people that dig way too deep into it.

Dock Magnification works wonders..........
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I used Onyx to do this about a week ago and even reset my PRAM. Still having problems obviously. Any other tips?
airport still a problem
My airport is still buggy. I'm still having issues with the signal meter going from 4 to 2 bars and back again, not seeing as many networks as compared to my other computer and downloads and webpages getting hung up and not loading fully.

26 minutes??
You think that's bad? It takes me four hours to download one episode off iTunes from Comcast HSI.
I can't watch a single stream off Hulu or the like. And I've yet to be able to diagnose the problem.
Ok, remember I only been using macs since April and have not dug too deep under the hood on certain things. With working 16 hr days supporting MS-SQL at 100+ hospitals, I don't have time for much digging - only dig when something intrigues me.
How does that work? and how can you set it? the only way I know how to magnify something is with OmniDazzle (not what I got it for, but a nice little feature). One thing I liked RKLAUNCHER for on a Windows machine to simulate the dock was it blew up the icons when you rolled over them. The things I did not like RKL for:
1. icons do not resize when dropping more to the dock, so they would eventually wrap off the screen and you could not get to them.
2. Wrong icon symbols used for the most common of apps.
My Dell Laptop (before it died) was my personal machine that I used as a backup for work. since it was my machine I tweaked the heck out of it to make it feel like a mac.
1. rk launcher
2. found patches and tweeks to give your windows the brushed aluminum and aqua look.
3. downloaded a vista patch for XP that simulated the rolodex. i looked for expose, but could not find anything.
4. applied the os x mouse icons
5. applied the panther sound pack (could not find on for leopard).
6. changed my task bar to be extremely narrow, aluminum, and the start button was a blue apple; then locked it to the top of the screen - yes there is even a tweek patch for that.
7. even found a tweek to change my Windows login page to look like Apple and have apple logo's.
Took about 3 hrs of work to accomplish....
Do you have the latest version of OnyX installed? 1.9.8 just came out yesterday as well.
Try flyakiteosx. It's a complete package to make XP look like a Mac. Work very well, even tweaks some things to make Windows a little faster. There's a bunch of Dock apps included, too.
Update
I have the same 321 megabytes. hopefully the macbookpro will run better... until Snow Leopard.
321 megabytes on my end.

My only peeve is that pink mobile me icon on the idisk.........they should have made it blue. Otherwise excellent update.
The pink icon has been there since MobileMe was released, it is nothing to do with the 10.5.5 update
Looks like you need to run Software Update more often, some of those updates are pretty old!
Mobile Me Sync
Something definately changed with MobileMe. Ever since MobileMe was released my contacts have NEVER synced, even when I tried to do it manually and/or reset the sync data. No matter what I update on either my Mac or on MM in Contacts it never syncs in either direction.
...well, I didn't expect it, but I was pleasantly surprised yesterday after installing the 10.5.5 update when I went into my contacts on my Mac and suddenly everything from MM was in there for the first time. I did a couple of test updates on both sides and it's now syncing both ways.. yeaaah!

I never thought about that. I think I will start doing that. Like you said it doesn't hurt anything.
I run Isolator which dims or blurs out background apps. In 10.5.4 Safari windows would blur out when scrolling even though Safari was the foremost app. In 10.5.5 Safari windows most of the time don't blur out, however sometimes they do briefly! That must be one of the graphics improvements.

In Finder, right click (control + click) on any other drive and select Get Info. In the popup window that appears, click on the icon at the top left. It will show a blue outline, press control + C to copy. Now right click your pink icon and select Show Info, then click on the top left icon to highlight (blue outline) and press control + V. You can use any picture or icon you like.
That's probably why my Macbook doesn't have the option for 256 color. Is it so much to ask for the ability to play Diablo 2, a game that's like 10 years old?
Unfortunately all the problems MM <> Contacts ARE UNRESOLVED!
I hope Apple had fixed with 10.5.5 all the problems affecting contacts syncronization between MobileMe, Mac, iPhone.
Unfortunately NOTHING change, all the BUGS are still there.
I've added a contact on my iphone and after that it disappear !
