Leopard Screenshots Being Posted!

It's true; I just checked. The Leopard Frontrow no longer launches iTunes or iPhoto. In fact it is a lot faster now, because it always took a while for the old Frontrow to start up and load my entire iPhoto library. I think the new Frontrow is somehow similar to what the iLife Media browser is (or whatever it is called): if finds the content of the different programs but without launching the programs themselves.
I still prefer the old Frontrow though... It let me play songs from my iPod, which the new Frontrow refuses to do.

If you don't want the folder to be called 'A' , a simple space as the folder name will keep it at the top of the list and appear to have no name at all.

Surely this has been in OSX for ages.. im sure tiger does it just option->click or right click on a 2 button mouse and choose close.
No.
I tried it on a minimized window in safari: right-clicking only gives the option to open the window again.
There is a possibility though by pressing
+ Q in the active application but I don't think that is the option you are looking for 😉Edit: There is a "close" option in the finder though... Strange why it is not in safari.

That's too bad, but thanks for answering anyway. Yeah, just tried it with a Finder window in Tiger and there is a "close" option... same with iTunes (although with iTunes there's not much need, just choose quit on the icon in the dock 😕).
Yeah CavemanUK, it seems pretty basic, but some applications don't have the option. =/
That sucks 🙁
Half the fun of using Front Row was experiencing the transition when loading and closing it. That also sucks about music not continuing to play. That was one thing I liked- I could run Front Row from a distance and get music playing with a nice visual aid on-screen, then when I walk over to my computer, I could exist Front Row to do something and still have music playing.
They didn't happen to throw Coverflow in there did they?
From David Pogue:
Can anyone get us a screenshot of the 2nd page PDF thing? Cause that's really, really friggin' cool.

Yes, that is true, but you really cant see anything unless the icons are HUGE. I set this one to 128x128 (full size) and you can see part of page 2. This was a users manual for a treadmill we have.

Coverflow? No, it is basically the
tv layout now.I hope that there is some way to restore the old Frontrow. In fact I have been able to install the original version of Frontrow on my old computer (an iMac G5 which unfortunately died a month ago) although it did not had an IR-port. I remember you had to add some frameworks to the system and then it worked. Though I don't know if you can just change these frameworks in Leopard as well. I'm afraid someone else has to figure that out...
Oh wow, that's awesome. Thanks!
I figured you'd have to have it as big as it can go, but it's still really cool. It's the little things.
It's not cover flow per se but it's kind of close. When you hover over a song the album art shows up on the left side. When your just hovering over "shuffle songs" it shows all of the albums arts sliding along - almost like cover flow.
Does anyone know if they made the icon resolution bigger. When I go into the finder settings it still only allows me to set the icons to 128x128...no bigger.
According to macosxhints they are in there, but I don't have leopard yet, so don't know why you can't go larger than 128x128
yeah, I've got to say I agree. I guess you COULD put a folder as the first item in the folder (add a space or two to the name) with a custom apps folder icon...
Mine looks completely different. The Apps folder is clearly indicated:
I'm always interested in identifying the different applications that people use, and I notice you have quite a few in your dock that I'm unfamiliar with... if you don't mind, could you list what some of those are? I took the screen shot you posted and put a line above the ones in question in this image
@RichP: Not certain what you are asking. Whether you view them in either Fan or Grid mode, the icons remain the same.
If I'm reading your lines correctly, they are (in order from left to right):
iPhoto, Capture Me, Explicit, TubeSock, GrabMac, VisualHub, Popcorn, MacHacha, SplitFuse and Photomatix Pro.

I have a question regarding Spaces...
If you open a number of application windows, say, Safari, in one space, then switch to another space. If you then click on Safari in the dock, does it open a new window in that space, or does it take you back to the previous space where Safari is already running in?
Thanks

Incorrect. Those screenshots are of the original Public Beta of OS X 10.0. I ran the beta for the six months prior to the release of 10.1. It was slower than hell compared to the full release, and they restored the traditional position of the Apple Menu. In the Public Beta there was no Apple Menu, just the icon. This was not well-received but the idea was basically to have the main menu Application specific which you can see now falls under the Application name next to the Apple menu which retains global functions.
