Screenshots from the latest Leopard build

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?

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
