.Neo Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspiria Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 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.

.Neo Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Some cool resources from the latest Mac OS X Leopard build. Behold the Mighty blue (and graphite) apple! I for one can't wait what the final resolution independent UI will look like. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 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).

.Neo Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) 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.

PyX Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 loll nice I still prefer MSN smileys (don't ask me why), but I like these. Where do you guys get all the screenshots btw? You have the leopard build and you play with it or from a site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTD Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Got the latest Mac OS X Leopard build. Details, please! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osirisX Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I really like those smileys. How often is a developer build released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverboy31 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMDMEFX-55 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 ^ yea i mean look at XP andVista. I think Apple can relax. Yea look at you what a noob. You must use stuff to know what it dose. But your just a troll. Any way I use OSX and I like the updates so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockett15 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but as of now, Leopard is not showing anything groundbreaking.... It's not that much better than Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
