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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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?).

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. :/

    • But they will be the first asking for a bail out the moment crap goes sideways. Its just a matter of time with this AI thing unless skynet gets us first.
    • I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.
    • Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all. EDIT: That does not mean that I find state support for social needs unreasonable. Quite the contrary. Together with solid workers' rights we exactly had exactly that in Germany for decades in the form of the Sozialstaat which was as the scandinavian social democratic very successful - until the number of people who drew from those resources dramatically increased (ironically a project of social democrat and green proponents).
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
