Latest Leopard Visual Tweaks and Intro Movie

The main reason it isn't exposed is that no hardware exists that needs it... YET. Apple has given guidance on this but that is all I can say.

I know several developers at several companies that have been preparing for it (I am one of them).

Good work :) I knew it must be happening, but I fear it's not being attended to by very many developers or I'd have heard more about it. (For instance, I hear about developers doing stuff with Spotlight and other features.)

Also, even current hardware can benefit from res-independence. (In fact, Windows has a primitive halfway version of it already). Just like people adjust font size and view % in different apps, they'd make use of the same freedom when it comes to menus and controls--not to mention the convenience of making the setting system-wide and permanent (unlike view prefs). I know I would definitely use scaling larger AND smaller than normal at different times, on my current Mac, if the feature were complete.

I agree...something like this. :D

Edit: If you don't know where that's from.

How have I never heard of that show??

I must have been too busy watching Space Academy :eek:

What exactly are you expecting? It's a wallpaper for christ's sake. Don't like it take your butt over to interfacelift.com and find something you like.
 
The default should be the bamboo. It looks a lot cleaner than the original grass, tons better than the pink star explosion, and would look great in an Apple store.
 
I assume the purple aurora is behind the login window? That might not look have bad.

but seriously though, what's the big deal about iCal showing the current date?
Click to expand...

If it was Vista that behaved that way we'd never stop making fun of it -- I don't see why Apple should get a free pass for such a boneheaded thing. Sure, if you run iCal you don't experience the bug. That doesn't mean that it's not really stupid behavior otherwise. It's bad design no matter how you look at it.

Heck, it'd be better if iCal didn't show any date at all than for it to show the wrong date.
 
Why does Apple belive it's a good idea with multiple contact lists? Sure they managed to put all the chats in one window now, but why did they had multiple contact lists in the first place?

The new intro music is awful - it doesn't even remotely fit in with the video. It's like they just pulled the name of a song out of a hat or something.

It is freakin' awful. I can't stand that new iMac music in their ad. It makes you want to punch the band in the nuts--oh wait! It already sounds like it lacks any balls.
 
What's the obsession with posting screen shots of System Preferences? I don't get that at all. How about iCal, Mail, iChat, Safari, multiple Finders shots, Time Machine, different Dock setups (stacks, etc), Address Book???

There are so many more interesting things to look at other than System Preferences. Is it really so amazing that you need to see how the Desktop and Screen Savers section looks?

How about some REAL screen shots people.

I can almost promise you that there is a process running in the background to make that happen, that's the only way I can think they would have done it. Unless the clock process (that's running already) pushes it to it. If it's the first one you're wasting some resources in making a dock have the date...

Would be pretty easy to have a cron job run every day at 12:00am to change the icon. Would take me about 20 minutes to set that up on any UNIX-like system (assuming I had 31 pre-made icons.)
 
Does anyone know?

When you click on an icon in the Dock does it still bring up a list of options and is this same interface/theme as in Tiger?
 
My internet is down so i am on my iphone but i still cant see the video because you tube isnt working on my phone at all, anyone else with this problem
