It looks like it does, however I have tested massively yet.

[osirisX]

Leopard broke VirtualBox :(

Is anyone finding the Spaces transition a bit choppy?

Is anyone else getting redraw issues like this?

Are stacks spring loaded?

When they spring load, they open the folder of the stack.

Bluetooth Browse Device dialog still has old style toolbar buttons. Also, does anyone know where the moving Time Machine background is located?

Also, does anyone know where the moving Time Machine background is located?

I havent used Time Machine, but is this it?

HD > System > Library > CoreServices > Finder.app > Show Package contents > Resources > vortex

[crazzyyfool]

Sort of. Can only find a .png of the background though. Hoping to find which files make up the moving background.

While browsing around, I did find a different style of folder though. ;)

[crazzyyfool]

Or these.

Checking that out gave me my first ever Kernel Panic. 3 years without one was a pretty good run. Surprised they haven't changed that

[evo_spook]

Double clicking sorted.

Surprisingly I had to actually slow it down.

Use an AIM account. Google over Jabber might work, but AIM is your best bet for any feature iChat has to offer.

I just tried to reproduce your bug, no dice. What exactly did you do, and do you have logs?

Sorry for being nosy :p

just found this neat trick on another site, you can edit the dock colour, pattern etc:-

*SO* easy to do!.

1 - GOTO /System/Library/Coreservices

2 - Then find Dock.app - right click and "Show package contents"

3 - Once inside, goto /Contents/Resources and *COPY* the following files to another safe folder:

scurve-l.png

scurve-m.png

scurve-xl.png

scurve-sm.png

Now, open them one by one in PHOTOSHOP etc, and create a new layer (make sure the layer is 50-60% or less opacity. Colour the layer, pattern it whatever. Once you have finished, SAVE the files with EXACTLY the same names as above (in the COPY location) and then goto:

/System/Library/Coreservices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources

DELETE the files with the names:

scurve-l.png

scurve-m.png

scurve-xl.png

scurve-sm.png

(You need root password)

and then copy YOUR MODIFIED VERSIONS to this location.

Finally, open terminal and do:

killall Dock

(case sensitive - Dock has a capital "D")

Can always just enable screen sharing, then give the user u want to share the screen with a link

vlc://127.0.0.1 and it'll connect.

edit: ^^ wow, didn't know the quicktime shadow did that, still prefer the 2d dock tho, can edit those images aswell but can't figure out how to lighten up the background.

Haha, that's awesome! I'm gonna set up a black dock now :D

EDIT: It won't replace the files inside dock.app for some reason...

I'm going to try turning off glass temporarily, and see if that helps.

EDIT 2: Ahh, read the instructions again :p . Delete the files.

EDIT 3: I think the file frontline.png inside the dock.app is the part at the very bottom edge of the screen. I'll test it out ;)

EDIT 4: Yup, I was right. I'm going to attach my black dock here.

Anyone else having a blast with Alex? I make him read my email now and mess with him through Terminal. (use the command 'say' and then whatever words after that)

i noticed that too last night while re syncing my phone

[hotdog666al]

I've installed it on a PowerBook G4 that has 512MB of RAM and it runs like a CHAMP Although the menubar isnt transparent and the glassy effects everywhere are gone (SCORE!)

[KeR]

well well, I wonder what that is...a tablet laptop?

[saxondale.]

Anyone up for testing screen sharing?

Can you post the powerbook specs ?

[Simon Veteran]

I just realized that it will be very easy to get the dock back to what it was like in Tiger, I'm going to give that a whirl later as well.

[FOOOD]

Is this what you mean KeR?

Thanks, I was looking for that one :)
