hotdog666al Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 How do you mean? I don't understand your vision. lol As you type in a box, the page scrolls down with the text, so the text doesn't go offscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Most of the time Neowin's reply boxes (the ones where you can type a post in) are larger than my browser window is. So when making a long sentense it will go off the visible area and you have to scroll to see it. In Safari 3 the browser will do this for you. I don't know another way to explain it sorry.

iigloo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 If you were to Option-Command-+ (zoom in), will the screen get zoomed in vector or will it still show up pixelated? Yeah what about this neowave? Oh, and how about the new developer software? Hows that? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 ^ Sweet! I understand it now. Thanks for explaining it ;) Cool! :) Hey Neowave, If you were to Option-Command-+ (zoom in), will the screen get zoomed in vector or will it still show up pixelated? Same as 10.4 Tiger: pixelated. I haven't found the utility/prefpane yet to enable "Vector Aqua". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myNando Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Is it me or are these buttons now oval?: ...or were they always oval? lol Same as 10.4 Tiger: pixelated. I haven't found the utility/prefpane yet to enable "Vector Aqua".Aww...maybe in the final build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 They are oval. Automator's toolbar is pretty screwed up. My guess is that they just squeezed in those buttons without scaling them properly or modify the toolbar to support them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well it's official, Mac OS X Leopard is going to support icons up to 512x512 pixels. We all know the only reason they're doing this is to annoy Microsoft (Windows Vista's icons "only" go up to 256x256 pixels). :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) Neowave calm down with the updates! :laugh: haha sorry. :blush: There's really more to this build than meets the eye, I think it's one of the coolest betas to date because you actually get to explore and search for new stuff. When I come across something, I tend to quickly make a shot of it and post it here so you guys can see it too. ;) Anyway, I'm calling it a day. ;) Edited August 16, 2006 by Neowave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groffy77 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I enjoy Neowave's updates. :p Mucho information for people who don't have a WWDC subscription, or for people who haven't downloaded Leopard illegally. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav-id Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 How stable is the build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 How stable is the build? It's pretty decent, haven't had one system crash yet altho it can be slow at times. Time Machine runs extremely crappy but that's probably because of my eMac. Preview is very ustable and crashes frequently. Before I forget: Discs won't eject at all. Doesn't matter if it's a HDD, CD, DVD or .dmg image, ejecting does not work regardless what button you push or command you give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Neo Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Neowave, are iChat and Automator the only Brushed apps that got turned into Unified apps? Yeah.

C_Guy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Wow, is't OS X 10.4 with a Time Machine icon, COOL!!!! I can see now why Apple doesn't consider this a service pack but a whole new operating system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superrcat Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Wow, is't OS X 10.4 with a Time Machine icon, COOL!!!! I can see now why Apple doesn't consider this a service pack but a whole new operating system! That is somewhat of an arrogant comment. The entire operating system will run natively either as 64-bit or 32-bit...no emulation. That means drivers, applications...all of it. This is not like Windows where there is a 64-bit version and a 32-bit version of the operating system. 32-bit applications are emulated on Windows x64, which is a performance hit. You can't use 32-bit drivers with Windows x64. This step by Apple is huge. Just because you don't see any eye candy, does not mean this isn't a substantial upgrade. Eye candy is sure to come after the groundwork is finished. You don't decorate an interface before you write the foundation...maybe that is where Vista got it wrong.

Exactly; A good analogy would be while you redecorating a room when its a work in progress it might just look like crap or even the same. It is the last 5 minutes that count, when you are putting the final touches on everything. Same goes for cooking. Judging the first release of Leopard and saying thats what it will look like in the spring is some what unrealistic. It's not like this is a Beta2 / RC1 of an OS ready to be deployed in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaoblivion Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks for all these pictures and info Neowave some of these little things I have been wanting for a while! :D Leopard looks awesome even in this early stage. P.S. Post more if you get the chance :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well I think I covered about everything. :) I wonder how long it will take before Neowin has to remove all the screenshots and ban the Mac OS X Leopard subject from discussion, like with the Mac OS X Tiger betas. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
