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).

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
