So is the security one just a black screen?

I know that question sounds a little stupid...

Wow! Screensavers!!

This'll stick it to Vista.

edit: "Media"? hmm...

Errrm, I've just been checking out the extra WWDC keynote on ADConiTunes...there's something that worries me.
At 1:00:02 (ish) in the video...the guy says, "We want your applications to be ready for 2008". TBH I'm a little confused...is this gunna be an addition to Leopard next year?...or is it a clue for when the higher res. displays will debut? What do you think?

(You might want to check out the stuff before it to get the context; resolution independancy.)

It's a clue (more than a clue really) for when high-dpi displays will be in use. The software support is being built into Leopard but all app developers will have to do work for RI (well they can do nothing and be ugly - zoomed).

The note from the site said that the Security one didn't come across in a screenshot, but that it looked like a fuzz over the screen or something like that. said it was cool.

The area on the left of the screensaver settings should be changed to iTunes style. Those disclosure triangles don't belong.

What's that on the terminal icon? Looks like Matrix code...

I'm disappointed that Apple isn't revising the appearance of the OS - it's going to look dated and bland next to Vista.

finally, the parental controls

There, now all the screenshots (I think I got 'em all) are mirrored here. I hope that the mods don't mind the server load it's likely to cause, but I'm sure that they'll remove them if that's the case. I'd love to see those new screensavers in action. It's the only thing in the shots that interests me, and without seeing them in motion, it's kinda hard to really understand what's going on.

Yeah, that's what it looks like, rather ugly IMHO!

They still might, but I agree it's getting less and less likely the more builds we see. Maybe they won't change everything, but just come up with a new style but only use it on new apps.

Also, "Illuminous" is the fabrication of some fevered Mac fan.

Nothing to see folks, it's Aqua as usual, people just need to get over it now so we can avoid the wailing and gnashing of teeth come Leopard's release. If there was gonna be a new interface, we would've seen it already. All this build-up for the inevitable disappointment is just silly.

I agree, totally. The new Interfacebuilder who devs have right now has the same style aqua widgets as Tiger.

Perhaps we'll see a little tweak here and there but aqua will not be replaced.

So? Who cares about how it looks.

I'm more interested as to how it performs.

If shiny and glossy aesthetics play that much of a role in software, then Linux and Unix would have died a brutal and abrupt death sometime during the mid-90s.

Expose listed in the Applications folder??

Maybe it's there because it's being merged with Spaces (multi-desktop functionality)

I think for most people, the way it looks IS important. After all, how many people use Linux and Unix in the great scheme of things? One of the attactions of Apple is its good-looking hardware and software - you only have to look at the fuss that has been made over the iPhone to see that.

Of course, it need to perform well, but Vista, like it or not, has plenty of 'eye-candy', to use an American expression, that will tempt people away from Apple.

Just remember one thing... "Progress is progress."

I guess I just flat-out disagree with you, then.

We're on the same page here.
Apple releases a new skin / updated toolkit.

It either causes minor glitches with third-party apps which use custom widgets, or needs a recompile to be used. Big deal, most 3rd party apps will be recompiled in under a week to use the latest eye-candy with updated bitmaps.

Resolution-independence on the other hand has a much steeper learning curve and affects more than simple resources.

Now I'm crossing fingers for this new skin to be innovative _and_ viable in the long run. Please let it be that iTune's skin has nothing to do with the next skin...

Not to sound like an Apple fanboy, but have you seen Vista? Vista is packed full of fairly impressive eye candy and graphics that would look very nice... except they are all molded around the same ugly, cluttered layout that Windows has had since 1995.
