OS X Snow Leopard 10A411 Brings a Few Minor Changes

[guydude193]

I'm not saying that I'm bored of Aqua, but it would be nice if these menus were a hint to a new UI in the next year or so.

That QuickLook panel looks awesome. And so do the menus. But they should really revert to the tinier, bold font. That looks MUCH better!

 

[vegfarandi]

Agreed

Interesting, but I prefer the font in 10A402.

I totally agree with you. It's more elegant smaller.

 

[Sky Blue]

A little birdie tells me you should look in the Dock Preferences

Was your little birdie wrong then ?

 

[vegfarandi]

Yeah, I think they have to unify the look of the scrollbars and make the other menus black too. And they really need to fix one thing in Terminal.app. When you double-click the tab-bar, it doesn't make a new tab like it does in Safari. That's really annoying.

The tinier bold font felt too squeezed, this font feels a big more well designed and more elegant.

 

[twoodcc]

nothing major, but glad to see improvements.

I like the design of those dock menus. They look a lot more modern than present. Will all menus take on this look?

Yeah, they look good. I especially like the new ability to trash from stacks. I was wondering if it was just me and I just never knew how to do it.

 

[nagromme]

I do like the glossy black stuff. If aqua/glass ever goes away, I wouldn't be sorry to see the glossiness remain in those black elements.

"Trashing Files from Stacks: Trashing files from Stacks in Grid view now properly deletes the selected files." <- I don't understand this feature?

The more you use SL the more you will find that you don't use the finder. That's how it's going for me at least.

 

[Wayfarer]

Who the heck voted this negative? Quite inaccurate.

Bring on Snow Leopard!

build 10A411 restores iMovie functionality

Prior to the latest update iMovie '09 was totally unusable. You could play a movie you were editing but the window wouldn't update so you couldn't see where the playhead indicator was. And the media window (music, pictures, titles, etc.) wouldn't load. This latest update has restored full functionality. iMovie '09 (version 8.0.3 build 802) seems to be working perfectly now.

I'm running Tiger on a white plastic 17" iMac (intel, core 2 duo, 1GB ram) will my computer be 32 or 64 bit with snow leopard? And how would I make it 64 bit if it can't currently run in 64?

With the previous build there was a bug that prevented dragging files from stacks to Trash. Now it is fixed.

 

[slackpacker]

Nice, they fixed the deleting from stacks, that was pissing me off

how is this done with the Keyboard?

 

[Eminemdrdre00]

Preorder. You get it on release day, or a few hours earlier like I did for Leopard.

Where did you pre-order from? I dont see anything about pre-ordering on Apple.com

you can't yet, I think you can a month before release. (late august?)

If you already have an account at the apple store, they will send you an e-Mail about it. The only bad thing about getting the very first version is that there's lots of updates to download every time you install the OS.

I can't decide whether I'm going to get the $10 upgrade for my 13" MBP or buy the family pack to upgrade my Mac Mini, too.

 

[catachip]

Does anyone know (or think) that they black contextual menus will be implemented system wide, i.e. for the menu bar?

Seems to me it would be a little inconsistent to have different coloured menus while clicking on different things....

The frequent Software Updates are really making this all the more tempting to pirate it.

Ah yes, nothing quite like running beta software as your main OS!

Beta or not, Snow Leopard is quite stable and I’ve ran it as my main OS for a month now. Never crashed.

Who says it's going to be his main OS? It's called "dual-booting"
