Radish?

I always thought that brushed metal made more sense for iCal according to the HIG guidelines, since it's representing a "real" object, but since I'm not a huge brushed fan I can't really complain. I'm glad we'll finally have image previews like that, though the dog ear seems like a lot of wasted space for eyecandy. I usually shut of anti-phishing and don't need parental controls, so I guess that does it for me.

my only annoyance is that iCal apparently has a drop down ON the title bar (close to the shade button). what's up with that?

Hrm, just noticed that. Odd.

Is it really a good idea adding a page curl effect to an already small preview? I'm personally not liking that, a nice border would be sufficient. Oh and I think we should all realise that these things are being worked on. Of course they're trying to hide what all of the new "good stuff" will be but I could swear stevie at the one of the wwc's announced one of the biggest new innovations will be finder but everyone seems to of forgotten that.

Steve never said that. Don't know what you are thinking of, but you are imagining things.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
