^ Its annoying I know, but the iPhone weather widget uses Yahoo instead of Accuweather in Tiger. So hopefully their source will be more accurate. I would also like it if they would add extra features to it, such as the air quality humidity, and for myself allergy information. Is Dashboard even updated in Leopard? Aside from the webclip tool.

They added a movie widget, but other than that I dunno, I think it's the same. If they use Yahoo for weather on the iPhone, though, you'd think they'd switch it for Leopard.

Anyone able to check?

I really hope the next Leopard build (which may very well be the final build) adds the iTunes 7 scroll bars. The more I use 9A559, the more incomplete it feels with those ancient Aqua relics still around. (Of course, the progress bars are still Aqua-based, as well. These need to be replaced with the flat progress bars used on the new iPod nano.)

My thoughts exactly. My instincts tell me it's gonna happen - Aqua's gone from iTunes 7, the iPhone and the redesigned Apple.com. Also, the new folders in Leopard would perfectly match the new matte blue theme (which I love). It's like a missing piece necessary for everything to click. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Those don't look very good. The iTunes 7 scroll bars are perfect, that's what Apple needs to add.

iTunes scrollbars looks like someone starting to use Photoshop made them hehe. :p They are not good.

Another vote for iTunes 7 scrollbars/buttons and new window controls.

Old Aqua needs to be put to rest. It's served us well. Did a great job in making Windows look bad back in the day, but now it's time to bring in a whole new GUI. Not mixed and mashed, old and new -- Just do something completely new and fresh. All this glassy, bright and glossy blue stuff of the old Aqua needs to go.

I see they still haven't fixed the alignment in the Finder back & forward buttons :blink:

Fine in Safari (have they been bad in past versions? Can't remember).

I'm liking the new network disk icon in the latest build though (Used to show network folder in the last version).

I don't even have Leopard :p It's a screenshot that someone posted over at InsanelyMac.

Here is the Finder with the iTunes scrollbars:

That looks wicked. It seems they've really gone for the whole iTunes-like appearance. It looks a lot more functional than Tiger.

See how much better that looks? Please, Apple, follow through on your promise of a "consistent window look" and add those scroll bars system wide.

I guess if they do that, they'll need to change the dialog buttons too?

Oh, and I notice that the blue theme in Leopard uses a bunch of different shades of blue, whereas the grey theme uses one shade of grey... Is that by design, or will there be one uniform shade of blue for the final product?

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
