New Desktop Pictures and QuickTime X Icon in Latest Snow Leopard

[kyncaith]

not really a fan of the new quicktime icon.. i made one in black / aluminum to match the look of apples new designs and it's somewhat better in my opinion.

Thanks for the pic. I turned it into an icns file (attached as a zip).

II have one major gripe though - am I imagining things or do all three graffiti wallpapers have visible camera flash reflections??? On the far left of the blue one, middle-right of the pink one and lower-left of the red one... This is not very Apple at all!

At first I thought it was a camera flash reflection but looking at it closer, it's just a white dot on the wall lol... on all three.

and I totally agree about the graffiti wallpapers looking striking on the mac screens in the apple store.

There are things more important than just walls

What about things that are more important than just walls ?
Speaking about work enhancements

My interests are:

Will Preview in SL finally scroll next images without choosing them all beforehand ?

Will dictionary in SL have an option to have quick view of a word translation or some article about it ?

I think the new Quicktime icon is fine....and so was the previous one. WHat I don´t understand is why they change a perfectly fine icon (which actually has a brand value) when they could have changed the iTunes icon, because that icon is dead boring and don´t tell much about the program....it reminds me of those general icons you can pick from in any windows package or any free icon packages for download. ( a cd with a note on, a cd with a globe on, a cd with a camera on, a cd with a arrow on, etc....) - too standard and generic.

oh and yeah, those new wallpapers are horrible, I though Apple had more taste than that, they got one of the worlds best marketing/visual departments for christ sake.

Nice new QT icon.. but it is just an icon. Nothing to get too excited about!

Can someone make me a an icns file like the original Quick Time X icon except change purple to red?

 

[BornToMac]

Great minds think alike. I have had 3 of those wallpapers in my rotation for some time (total coincidence) and have another 3-4 that are close ups of grafitti.

We are all aware the the links for the desktop pictures are broken right?

And I thought Uneasysilence was dead long ago..

QuickTime X used to be pink and now it's blue. His-and-hers icons??

I'd like to see the blue version of the current standard desktop picture (purple space scenery). I thought it's included with the server version of SL but I'm not sure.

Can someone upload that SL server picture? I saw it once and it looked quite pretty to me.

Here's a 2560 x 1600 one.

Is that not the Leopard server wallpaper?

 

[elgrecomac]

Are you serious?

Getting excited about 'WALLPAPER' and change in icons? Really? Really? Of course your not serious, are you?

Folks, it all about features and functionality, not pretty pictures that are readily available on 'the Google'.

Pleez.....

 

[WeegieMac]

Sorry, but aside from the official Snow Leopard "Aurora" and the WWDC "Snow Leopard", there's some pretty poor wallpapers in there.

 

[kyncaith]

Is that not the Leopard server wallpaper?

Yes it is. He/she mentioned the blue server version of the standard purple space scene in the first sentence. I kind of glossed over the SL reference.

 

[Derrick Velasco]

I love the wallpapers. Look forward to getting them in SL.

Personally, I'm not particularly excited yet about anything regarding Snow Leopard, aesthetics or features wise.

You certainly seem to be getting excited about a trivial forum discussion though. And I find it humorous that you feel that you can dictate to others what it's "all about".

I'm more excited about Snow Leopard than I was for Leopard!!!

I think I'm just excited to see what kind of speed it may bring. I'm all about lean. We shall see.

Purple QT icon

Hi!
I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but is there somewhere I can find the old (ok, not so old) purple Quick Time X icon?

(I mean the .icns file)

Thanks a lot!!

Why does Apple always have such ****** desktop backgrounds? Thats one thing Windows 7 has. However, I'll take an OS that works over good desktop backgrounds any day of the week. I can always steal the desktop backgrounds from Windows 7.
