Apple's "New" GUI

[.Neo]

Well, it seems to run more stable than the previous betas we've got our hands on. Except for the fact that System Preferences keeps crashing all the time, so I can't tell you if it's really possible to disable the Menu bar's transparency. I have the feeling something went wrong during installation or something. :/

Is it just me, or do Neo's screenies suggest Apple is taking cues from Cocoatech's Path Finder? I see the item count below the folders . . . this isn't an option in Tiger's finder, is it? If it is, I've never noticed.

:rofl: That's definitely been there since before I can remember... Before Tiger IIRC. I've been using for almost as long as I've had my iBook.

LTD is just very into Pathfinder at the moment. So stuff he thinks is new to the Finder is automatically being associated with Pathfinder, he can't help it really. :p :laugh:

j/k ;)

I can confirm that the Transparency on the Menu Bar can be turned off in the syspref. Your install must have gone wrong or Leopard doesn't like the Mac you installed it on, system preferences working okay-ish on a MacBook Pro.

It has to do with the Install DVD, not the build or Mac itself. iCal, Mail and Safari kept crashing as well.

Take a screeenshot u noob...!!

Do the Save/Open dialogues in Leopard have the coverflow view?

I do not have Leopard. And even if I did (which I do not) I would not be taking screenshots. Especially not after the Tiger beta debacle from years past and the ongoing wired/flickr C&Ds

[mattmatik]

Man, in all my years of Windows I never had a moment where I was full of anticipation for the next version of Windows. Having had my MacBook only 4 months, I'm completely overtaken with Leopard. Tiger is just such a great, solid OS to work with, imagining it can get even better is amazing.

[osirisX]

Tiger beta debacle?

Tiger beta debacle?

I would assume lots of people broke the NDA, got sued/fired whatever. Apparently the same thing happened a few years back when someone released early Zune pics.

[Danrarbc]

Same story on Mac OS X. But nothing beats it when Apple implements a build-in version.

As far as I'm concerned Dashboard sucks compared to Konfab/Yahoo Widgets.

Something the Windows-fanboys can feel upset over:

Mac OS X Leopard Generic PC icon

:laugh:

Who says Windows 98 is dead.

[FOOOD]

I don't think Neo broke an NDA. As far as I know you don't need to sign one to download BitTorrent files :p

[osirisX]

That generic PC icon is hilarious.

[Southern Patriot]

I don't think Neo broke an NDA. As far as I know you don't need to sign one to download BitTorrent files :p

Which might be the case if Leopard (well, this version at least) had shown up on a torrent site yet, but AFAIK it hasn't.

Who said anything about torrent sites? But WinMacLin is right. I'm not posting screen shots either of Mac OS X Leopard. Apple became completely hysterical during the Mac OS X Tiger betas sending cease and desist orders to many sites that hosted them.

We'll see how things turn out this time. So far all the screen shots I posted here are ones taken from Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. I have no idea how my folder icons changed so suddenly! :laugh:

If you want to use widgets on your Desktop yes. But beyond that no.

Well my thoughts on the UI i think it has been peaced together at seperate stages because to me it doesnt all flow together.

I like it all apart from the menubar it just sticks out like a lot lol i dunno it just doesnt appeal to me at all. Also the coverflow thing i dont think i would use that much actually. I like the new dock it looks great spaces and stacks are great idea its like having a folder on yoru dock but not actually having a folder as such :p

Oddly enough, a "WWDC_LEOPARD_BETA" has recently seen a surge in popularity on The Pirate Bay, although it's the build from the 2006 WWDC. :pinch:

[osirisX]

Can I get those folder icons? Pretty please with sugar on top :)

I would like to take a look at those folders too :D

[FOOOD]

Yea, I wouldn't mind those icons. I like how they're simple & unobtrusive.

Are they normal mac icons? (i.e. they're not vector icons are they?).

[Koyder]

I love those folder icons! However, they don't really match the Aqua style... <dreams of Apple refreshing all its icons>

That's because a bunch of newbies that have bought a Mac in the last year don't know that there was a beta released last year. I've looked at every torrent site I have access to and haven't seen it. Not on the newsgroups either, which tells me that it hasn't leaked yet.

[FOOOD]

I saw it on a torrent site which apparently was genuine (although I can't say for sure). It was removed from the site a couple of hours later.

Nope they're normal .icns files. The only new thing is that they hold two new sizes: 256x256 Pixels and 512x512 pixels. Unfortunately there's no way to view those two on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, not even with Preview. :/
