Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard 9A499 Icons and Screenshots

Really? Oh. A vectorized GUI is one of the things I was looking forward to most.

Vectors aren't the always the best solution. Certain types of graphics weigh in smaller and take less resources if left as bitmaps. If you had an icon with a detailed photo in it for instance, a vector would probably take more processing power to draw than a tiff.

My God! A work of art!
I especailly love the new folders icons-they look so much better than those drab shiny globs of-well-just globs
No later than Halloween shall I own a 20-inch iMac, when it comes bundled with 10.5 and any bugs get worked out..

I still think they are functionally horrible. When the folder icon fills the entire 24" screen, sure they aren't as bad. But when they are at a usable icon size that you'd see in the Finder, like say 32 px [and that's in icon mode, not even counting list view], how are ANY of those light engraved designs that are supposed to differentiate the folders going to ever be visible or usable? I see no way at all.
