Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

The titlebar buttons right now are obviously a bug. It's definitely not a UI design decision. It's just like something's putting too much saturation in to them. Probably issues with the resolution independent UI.

2 choices:

1. Install the Developer Tools located on your OS X Install Discs and then use the app Icon Composer.

2. Download an app called img2icns and convert any image into a .icns file.

3. Download an app called Pixadex and convert any image into a .icns, .png, .tiff, etc. file.

Thankyou OsirisX and RDM.

Back Ontopic now. What wallpapers does the current Leopard build have? Anything worth posting here?

Here is the current wallpaper used in the latest Leopard build...

Someone posted the opening "Welcome" video on Demonoid, it's really wild. That wallpaper seems to be very closely related to it.

edit: I should note that the Demonoid version is the full resolution mov file, not a crappy YouTube version.

Yes, the new intro video is also sci-fi/space themed. Whereas Tiger had a large emphasis on Spotlight, the biggest addition to Leopard (according to Apple, anyway) is Time Machine.

Its been ages since I installed Jaguar or Panther, does anyone remember what the "Welcome" videos for those were like, or if there were any?

Thanks. I had found a copy of Panther, and I've already got the ones for Tiger and Leopard, but I'm still looking for the one for Jaguar (and any earlier releases that had a welcome video).

I couldn't find anything on YouTube related to intro videos for Cheetah, Puma or Jaguar, leading me to believe they possibly didn't have them.

You'll notice that with Panther, it just seems to feature the default Aqua wallpaper, even though a major feature was Expose.

Would you guys say it is same/better/worse than 10.4?

It really depends I'd say some things are faster. But most things run the same as 10.4

I'm sure features like cover flow and quick view wont perform as smoothly with some of the older video cards but I mean it's not like you need to view all your files in cover flow.

I agree, going on what i've seen of the recent beta and feedback i've read on the net, .5 seams to run about the same as .4 for most things, however some (safari) seam to run even faster.

However, only one way to know for sure. Wait

Actually, I looked again, and found it. Seems that this video was used from 10.0 to 10.2 (Cheetah to Jaguar).

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
