Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

I'm still waiting to see the final default wallpaper. A little too "stock photo" for Mac.

Does anyone know when the Aqua wallpapers came out in comparison to the release dates?

Jobs specifically said that they were getting rid of the Aqua wallpaper at WWDC 07. The reason? "Because nobody uses it."

It'd be nice if Apple put up a small wallpaper category on their website with a new wallpaper every month... they're really able to do nice ones...

I quite like that idea.

Radish?

I don't think they will be releasing aqua wallpapers for leopard??

I was asking that, from history, during the Tiger beta, when was the final Aqua wallpaper released, as an insight to when a final wallpaper for the Leopard beta might be released.

Well yeah, but it's a very recognisable image. People see that wallpaper and they instantly know -- bam! That's one of them Mac computers. The aqua wallpaper is (was?) Apple's brand.

It's different is all.

Not really... Seriously, it was just a wallpaper. It was about as recognizable to OS X as Bliss was to WinXP.

Not only that. As I understand, the promo photos they use for iPhoto, in OS X demos are all staff members taking pictures on vacations and such. Some of them would make some pretty cool wallpapers. There's some really good photographers on staff @ Apple.

Would Leopard's terminal work in Tiger? I could sure use the tabs right about now... :p

It might. I was able to port the Leopard version of iCal over to Tiger, although some of the graphics were a bit off.

Could someone please post a screenshot of the Spaces Menubar item and describe what the login window looks like.

In 9A559, the logon screen looks exactly as it did in Tiger, except it uses the Aurora wallpaper instead of Aqua Blue.

New build is out according to MacRumors.. anyone got it / tried it yet?

What's the build number? I'd imagine it to be the gold master, as 9A559 is very stable, at least for me. I've been using it as my primary OS for a few weeks now.

:whistle:

Wow... You got it fast!

Can you confirm if Apple has finally implemented the iTunes 7 scroll bars systemwide yet? At this point, if they haven't, then I'm going to assume that they will be in the final product, and Apple never intended to change them at all.

He doesn't have the build. 'numberz' on insanelymac modified his resource string to change the build number.

Apple had expected to declare their upcoming Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Gold Master this week. "Gold Master" status is given the final shipping version of the software which is sent to duplicators for distribution.

Based on our sources, Apple had not quite reached that goal, but today released an internal "GM candidate build" which could represent the final version of Mac OS X Leopard, if no other issues are found.

Apple has been working against the clock to get Leopard duplicated and shipped for an October release. October 26th has been noted to be planned ship date, and Apple has already been training support staff in anticipation of its release.

The Build number for the latest GM candidate is said to be 9A581.

The build has not leaked yet, and has not been sent to developers yet.

Interface Builder is in the developer tools. Give me 10 minutes and i'll post some screenshots.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
