Screenshots from the latest Leopard build


Recommended Posts

RAWR!

Yes, Neowave, keep speaking out for the cause! You must get as lost as I because, in a few applications, the toolbar is striped and in others it's unified with the title bar. It's a cruel, cruel world that makes you look at two or three beautiful window styles instead of one. :no:

It's a tragedy! lol

I don't think Unified has any defined "use it exactly for this" sort of thing. It's just "use it if you think it looks better." I wouldn't be surprised if it's just phasing out the striped toolbar.

I'm almost 100% positive it's only meant for Spotlight enabled apps. At least that's how Apple uses it.

Is Dictionary.app's search box powered by Spotlight?

It's basically the same technology: Instant search. Plus Dictionary has search extentions throughtout the OS, even more in Mac OS X Leopard. So I would say yes.

Another example is Apple Remote Desktop. Version 2 was Brushed, version 3 got Spotlight-like search capabilities and was turned Unified.

So far I haven't found Unified Apple applications without intant search.

You will in Leopard. iChat is unified without any instant search features in it (unless it gets instant log searching, which seems pointless since Spotlight searches its logs anyway :p).

True, but I doubt things will stay the way there are. A new Brushed variant ("Unified Brushed") still hasn't been implemented system-wide so they could be preparing applications like Automator, iCal and iChat for it.

Not much to tell really. It's still far from being usable, many application compatibility issues, interface is a mess, and feature wise it isn't much different from what you'd see on the Apple site. Hopefully the January release will show more of what the final version is going to be like.

Not true betas for developers have been offered since os x began average is 1 per month latest build is 9A303, hasen't been a new beta for select members since nov 9. should be expecting the next one soon this will probaly be the last one before the January Macworld

I'd bet for 1 per 2 months... I think it's the first time they do this though. They've never really shown their betas.

Eh yes they did... Mac OS X Tiger betas were seeded at roughly the same frequency. They were even - more or less - feature complete, unlike the current Mac OS X Leopard betas. How else do you expect developers to prepare for an upcoming Mac OS X release?

It's Apple, they'll do it so much better than Microsoft. Cause to be honest, I really don't like the look of Vista either.

Yeah, but as of now, Leopard is not showing anything groundbreaking.... It's not that much better than Tiger.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
