Screenshots from the latest Leopard build


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure the top secret things are something more than that, but it's a good start. I like their anti-phishing thing, even though it's a Mac and it doesn't actually need it compared to Windows, except for fraudulent sites and they appear in big numbers on the net...

As for the scrollbars, I think they can change a framework and it changes them for all of the applications, so as long as they use tiger's framework, we'll see aqua scrollbars.

My being in the current condition I'm in (the flu, on top of Fibromyalgia), my mind sometimes takes funny twists and turns around subjects.

As I was looking at the color & shape of many of the UI elements of Leopard, I finally (in my sickness-induced mental menaderings) figured out why I dislike the whole current OS X UI....

...It reminds me too much of the color and consistancy of a suppository.

Sorry - had to say it...but isn't usually the Apple folks that traipse over to the Windows forums and nit-pick on Vista?

Just trying to balance-out the equation :whistle:

I'm really not sure where you get your information. It sounds to me like a significant number of windows users are complaining about Vista. And you're knocking OSX in order to "balance out the equation?" Isn't that trolling?

Color and consistency of a suppository? They come in many colors. And the medications consist of the same things as oral medications, so I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean.

And why do you put your username and the end of each post? It already gets attached to every single post you make.

All mayor Aqua elements, including the scroll bars, are contained by Extras.rsrc located in the System folder.

I very much doubt Mac OS X users started all the "Is that fugly solid black bar on top of maximized windows supposed to be there?!"-threads in the Vista subforum (just to give an example). So as far as I can tell mostly the Windows users here on Neowin complain about Windows Vista's Aero interface.

According to this source Mac OS X Leopard is likely to be released in January 2007. Personally I don't know what to think about it as it currently doesn't offer that much more than Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger does. :/

for all of you who keep complaining about it not having enough, wtf do you want that it doesn't have?

What features are missing?

Just because they aren't doing anything groundbreaking is no reason to bitch and complain like everyone seems to be doing. Frankly I hope they keep up this trend of refinements, the little things that only matter once you start using the OS daily, thats where the best features shine through, not the big flashy things that wear off in a day or two..

We can speculate hard on Apple, but they are so unpredictible. It can be released tomorrow like it can be released June 20.

We didn't know what Showtime was, we didn't know they were presenting iTV, we didn't know when the iMac were going to be released (just at the end we had a little idea), we didn't know when the macbook pros were gonna be released, we didn't know they would switch to intel, we don't know when they'll release new macbooks, etc. as much as we don't know what will Leopard include in the end.

Maybe they'll revolutionize the UI, maybe they'll add new icons, maybe they'll add more secret stuff, etc. I don't think anybody knows but them. And of course, they are mute and deaf.

@Neowave: Probably Apple is keeping the new EXCITING features in secret till probably next month.. and this report may be false cause is almost impossible to develop an entire OS in 6 or 7 month..

Peace, Daniel

You actually believe Apple didn't start developing Mac OS X Leopard' features until 6 or 7 months ago? It's more likely they started developing Mac OS X Leopard the second Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger was done or even before that.

Mac OS X Leopard won't be a free update you can get through Software Update and currently the upcoming version doesn't include much that justifies a ?129,- prize tag. That includes thos"refinements" and "little things that only matter once you start using the OS daily"i> you speak of: It doesn't have much of that either compared to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

But that's just my opinion.

Hopefully all of that will change during the next keynote:cool:l:

Won't get my ?89 unless it has something great like Spotlight or Dashboard which I use every day on Tiger. Backup and Attractive Voice is good and all but I only backup 2 things my Documents and my Music and I am quite happy doing that the Drag and Drop way. And the voice well I'm not blind I don't see it's use for me personally, that's not to say it is a useless feature for people that do require it I'm sure they can't wait for it, perhaps already swayed there buying decision.

I don't know what I would like to see in Leopard really but I do want them to wow me afterall there selling a product and if they want me to buy it they better make it unique from other offerings or they just lost a customer.

I don't by operating systems just to manage my files and play with the default tools: I buy them to by other applications. Whether or not Apple uses those tools is almost secondary, what really matters is whether the third party programs make use of them.

If the last 5 years are any indication I expect to see some pretty worthwhile tiger-only or tiger-works-best programs not too long after the release. I'll gamble on the $90 not being a waste, even if I stuck with 10.4 until 10.6 ships I'd only be out $0.10 day.

That is a good point evn however at the moment I do not use any applications at all which are suited for Tiger over Panther except for the built in Apple applications like Safari 2.0 which will not run on Panther.

My point is, if there isn't some amazing things released then I'll stick with Tiger because I'm not going to pay ?89 for all the things I can already do, it would be like I'm just paying a yearly subscription to a magazine where I only read the same articles. Pointless.

Bah.. if it makes developping easier, and if it makes my computer faster b ytaking advantage of the 64-bit... why not?

I like the new safari3 too, but this one should be free like all the others.

If they changed QuickTime once for all, I'd be really happy... I'd be happy if they bundled a bunch of codecs with it too, not just standard ones.

If they unify the interface, it'll only be a good thing...

They added games to the iPods, why not add cool games in Leopard, made by Apple?

They should continue to ask themselves why Microsoft is more popular in the business world and start to do more practical stuff for the business users. (ie : they can deploy an update to a whole network, can it be done in mac os?)

They should add a cheap, but better than paint, drawing or editing thing.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
