Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

that looks hot. When are you going to release that? And will you need third party software?

I just did a clean install of Leopard. I had a archive and install but this is much faster after clean, gawd i love leopard.

It will need Shapeshifter for sure, maybe a couple others for the "Full" experience. Going to take some time to adjust to Leopard, going to try and skin the docks glass floor as well.

Btw, Spaces is awesome, have a nice space dedicated to a nice fullscreen iTunes :)

ok I did an upgrade and here is some feedback...... ( iMac C2D 2.4Ghz 2gb )

install went smooth as you would expect, first time booting into leopard thought i had the BBOD but no I was just being impatient. All apps seem to be working bar the theme type apps like Shapshifter, Candy e.t.c. bar but no big deal there as the new interface is clean and uniform accross the OS.

APPS no longer needed....

Quicksilver - Spotlight is lightning fast and launches all apps, docs without fault ( i know some of you use advanced features but i don;'t )

AppZapper - as above because spotlight is fast and thorough.

Candybar

Shapeshifter - for now not needed but be interesting to see if any new themes can take advantage of the Core Animation e.t.c. :)

ADOBE ACROBAT - Preview is just so much better for PDFs and combine this with QuickLook there just is no need for Acrobat.

PROBLEMS

Spamsieve not currently working with Mail

Growl not currently working with Mail

When connecting to network shares on my windows box the mount does not appear on the desktop.

Time Machine not working with a network shared drive - i understand this may not be possible but it would have been nice.

Overall it is very very quick and actually works as quick as when you see Apple perform the demos at the keynotes for a change :)

why o why are there no new games :(

That was the first install BUT....

I installed on my MBP C2D and the install got stuck on reboot with the Apple logo for 4 hours !!! I had to reboot same again, so i went through the installation again this time i left it over night and got a login window.

But it would not recognize my password.

Booted of the Leopard DVD and used the password reset option, saved, rebooted still doesnt recognize my password even though the password reset utility found my user correctly.

I am now trying an Archive & Install to see if that works

This problem is appearing all over the net and possibly a BIG problem with the Leopard install lot of people getting a blue screen though.

If my reinstall doesnt work again, does ne1 know any terminal commands that I could run to add a user with root access

yeah, i got an itunes space too :)

Seeing as they're removed netinfo manager how am I supposed to move the location of my home folder?

Edit, they've moved the functionality. It's in Account in System Preferences, just right click your username.

That looks a lot better and easier to use than NetInfo.

When you take a screenshot of a window in Leopard, does it capture the shadow? If so, I hope there's also a way to capture windows without them.

Yes, it captures the shadows now. Not sure if there is a way to capture without them though.

It does capture the shadow, but you could press Cmd+Shift+4 and drag a box around the window.

How are the huge shadows? In theory, it sounds great, but I can only imagine on a light background or over white windows they'll look jarring.

Yeah. they are meant to make the front-most window more "obvious". :laugh:

Another bug. If I have say Mail in one Space and go up to Preferences in the menu bar the preference window will open in Space 1 on its own. Seems to only happen with Mail though.

Also. If you have 4 Spaces for example with different apps and windows in each space then you go and add another 2 Spaces in the preferences all the existing apps and windows from the previous Spaces will consolidate into one Space. :(

One bug I've found is when you return to your desktop from Front Row, the mouse cursor has disappeared. Anyone else got this problem?

I think its cause when you navigate through frontrow, it uses regular key commands (up down left right blah...) well if you press em on your keyboard while you're at the desktop you'll see the cursor vanishes too.

Hi guys, just went from every page from 80 to 99 to find a way to change the dock at the bottom back from the 2D to the 3D in terminal, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

To 2d:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

From 2d to 3d:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO; killall Dock

Enjoy.

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
