Nothing spectacular, but this wallpaper is awesome and Leopard's new UI adapts to nicely to it :)

Wow, this SS is amazing...congrats! Btw, where can I find those Aduim/iChat colored status bubbles? They look so coo and I'd like to use them please.

Thank you! :)

mac noobie ? here... I have searched and can't find any info on how to name and have the used/free drive space info show on each drive icon on the desktop. Plus I have also seen peoples iphone and ipod with the same info on the desktop to when they are mounted like a DVD drive does when you insert a DVD. I have a iphone and a ipod that don't even show up on my desktop. So could someone please explain to me how this is done?

Also how do you show info on different activities that is running on the macs task bar up by the clock such as cpu,net speed, memory... ect.

How boring is this ? --> My desktop icons are....Macintosh HD, Time Machine Backups, and Untitled ( Yes I did manage to do a dual boot with Windows, but haven't been there for days...lol ) Here is some screen shots to show what I'm talking about.

Drive icons: Right Click > Get Info. Then you can change the name under "Name & Extension".

For the menubar thing you'll want iStat menus.

Thank you so much, I did install iStat menus and that is exactly what I wanted... I was also able to change the name of the drive icons but how do I show the info on the drives as seen in the screen shot below? Also do you know how to show the iphone and ipod icons on the desktop when they are connected ?

Drive info: Right Click on Desktop > Show View Options > Show item info

But as for the last thing, I'm not sure. Mine shows external devices by default.

EDIT: heh, just found the answer by accident. Open up Finder and go Finder > Preferences. Under the General tab you can select which devices appear on the desktop.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
