The iPhoto pallette is nice, but for the entire system? I don't know how well transparant black would work for that. (look how Vista turned out)

If there's going to be a black UI, which there is rumored to be, I can 90% guarantee there will be transparency. I tried a black GUIkit ion ShapeShifter yesterday, and it was beautiful, but it looked bad with documents, i.e. MS Word and Firefox. The only way to make it look reasonably good, is to use transparency, and I think Apple is the kind of design company that can pull that off. Let's face it, they make nice stuff <I have 2 macs myself, but I marvel more at the design of the hardware and the look of Mac Os X more than anything else. It's their specialty.

Seems some improvements have been made to the Firewall, It's been moved out of Sharing (Thank you God. Never understood why it was there.) to Security (Seems more suitable :)) and has gotten a facelift and some new options

Edit: Why does iPhoto still say Rendezvous? Isn't it all Bonjour now? :unsure: (iChat says it too)

here is a breakdown of the different GUI styles Apple uses, depending on what the application type is:

You forgot the iLife '06 Unified Brushed look. It's different from iTunes 7. ;)

As of now it isn't.

I noticed that, might change tho.

The firewall setting were under the sharing settings because most of the firewall functions directly related to sharing functions. It made sense there (to me at least), but it's equally at home under Security. As for Rendevouz/Bonjour, it really should be Bonjour, so perhaps they just haven't gotten around to changing the name in all of the apps yet. Remember that the name change came after Tiger was released, so Leopard will be the first version with the new name.

Just something cool I found with Quick Look. You can take a Quick Look at just about anything. Apps, Folders (Doesn't show what's in it. Would be nice though No?), Images, Video, HTML Files, DOC Files, TXT Files, PDF Files. And that's all I've tried.

Are you impling that Automator 2.0 is a money making machine? Afterall, the 2nd screen you have is a unix fun.txt and then suddenly the next image (a PDF) and it turns into a $100 rebate coupoun??!! Awesome! With Automator 2.0 I think I'll have to repeat the process a couple hundred times.

Panther is really looking up to be a solid release. I hope they make some improvements to Finder though. And perhaps a bit to the security model, password hashes should be blowfish (like you can do with OpenBSD). I dunno, I just think with all the private info people have and on-line banking, stronger password hashes would be a move forward.

;)

But I do agree about the needed improvements to Finder.
