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).

    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
