Getting iPhone-ey with parts of the UI.
![]()
yea apple is all about the iphone... but forgot no brainer features like flash and .mac syncing
all i can say is apple time after time goes all they way up with an awesome design then forgets (or intentionally) to have key features
I think that's a bad design. Instead of wasting space with an awkward iPhone-like on/off slider, how about showing some of those "options" so I don't have to make another click? It seems very inconsistent from the whole rest of the Mac OS X interface.
It's always "snappier".
Don't knock it till you've tried it.
It does, and there are few backgrounds that have problems with a transparent bar over them.
Shush you two!
Great way to break your NDA, I hope you haven't left any clues as to your identity.Getting iPhone-ey with parts of the UI.

And it doesn't fit quite right, clearly they need to work on it a little more.
I think the rest of the interface will sport this new iPhone-like interface, so we'll be changing the overall look and feel AGAIN.
At least we know something is going on. Seed Updates are ramping up like they should be. However, I think they are going to take as much time in october as they can... so... I guess oct. 25th or 30th.
Anyone know how long before a voucher for leopard isn't possible?

I think they definitely planned for this release to be much, much bigger. Last year when Steve said he was holding back some "secret" features so that others couldn't start copying so fast, he made it seem like there was something worth copying waiting in the wings. At the WWDC he went over the same features he'd already covered months earlier. There was nothing new announced at the WWDC that really seemed worth all the hype. It just didn't seem like Steve's normal style... rehashing things we already know without any new amazing eye candy!
I had heard that 9a499 was slower than 9a466, which is why I thought the speed boost was good!
Also, nabbed this screen from someone at InsanelyMac forums. With his background it's kind of difficult to see the time (7:14 I think) but it might also be that it's not a good screenshot.
I'm pretty sure the "It does" comment was referring to it growing on you...

Hmm... The blue lights are kinda hard to see with all the icons' reflections...
I can not wait until October
I can. I may buy Leopard out of the gate. I'm sure as heck not installing it. Bug ridden in the only thing the comes to mind at this point.
Wonderful............ And, yes, the menu bar is impossible to see with that background, its not a bad screenshot, its totally unusable, and they refuse to fix it...... I don't know WTH is in charge of the UI (actually I do), but they um.... should fix it.I had heard that 9a499 was slower than 9a466, which is why I thought the speed boost was good!

The UI of leopard is not something I wanna look at day in and day out... maybe, if we're luck it'll get some iphone DNA pumped into it (I don't know about that big toggle button though)
I don't know, I noticed them pretty easily. I think the blue lights are a nice "OS X-ey" touch, but I'm still not sure about that menu bar. Seems tedious to have to change the opacity every time you switch wallpapers to make it "match." What happens if you have rotating desktops?
Then again, like samh004 said, it's not really fair to knock it before we've tried it.
Well, there's no confirmation on whether Spaces supports multiple desktop pictures, and judging from what Steve showed off at WWDC, it's highly unlikely. But that said, I will buy Leopard right when it comes out.

it automatically adjusts itself
basically it finds the most used color under it and decides between black or light grey text, then blurs and lightens the image below it
Why buy?
I dont understand why you would buy it and not install on your mac? Why not just wait a few weeks to buy.

No, that's not what I meant. I meant that whether each Space could have its own wallpaper/desktop picture. In WWDC this year, all Spaces shared the same picture throughout.

Right on I can also see them just fine even with my old eyes. Every day October gets closer.
I would assume that apple would leave that feature out for the initial release but add it in as an *innovation* later.
but I'm crossing my fingers hoping that they have it in OS X 10.5.0

They need to make a few adjustments if they are going to leave that transparent menu bar. For example make it possible to change the font colo so you can read the menu bar. Or make it to where you can disable or adjust how much transparency is used. I'm gladd to see that apple is working out the bug's and making the OS a lot faster. I'm looking forward to getting this new OS.
