For me, animation performance has been improved although Dashboard is slow and choppy and there could still be performance improvements for Finder. I did a clean install of Leopard.

Yeah, that's certainly one. Maybe move the glyphs of the finder tool bar buttons down a pixel, they look slightly off.

The big one: A simple, little checkbox in System Preferences to turn off translucency in the Menu bar.

yeah Tigers menu bar was the best of the lot IMO. Leopards looks crap and is unresponsive.

Leopard's Menu bar looks too Vista-ish with its totally unnecessary translucency. I love the dark, simple color (or lack thereof) it has. But the translucency has to go.

By the way, the Panther Menu bar owns Tiger's. Panther is the Best Mac OS X version, IMO.

Animations can be pretty jaggy on my aluminium iMac, I want to see that fixed. Also, tons of icons lack 512x512 pixel states.

Loving the transparent Menu Bar here. Makes the whole Desktop appear more open.

I'd like them to make it so that I can add a smart folder into the dock and have it act like a regular folder, stacks. Also, I'd like it if I could use stacks to navigate through the folder hierarchy.

I wish that Safari had proper NTLM domain support so that I could connect to the network here without having to use third party local proxy software (NTLMaps) to get around it.

I wish that my PCMCIA SD card reader acted like a removable drive, like it did in Tiger, so that when I put in a SD card it would appear in sidebar with an eject button, and would automatically launch iPhoto. It did these things in Tiger, why not in Leopard?

Yes, the menubar transparency does make it difficult to read sometimes when I use busy backgrounds.

I wish that the old OS 9 application switcher was brought back. If there was an OS 9 type application switcher + spotlight in the menubar, I'd have no need for the dock at all. In my opinion, the dock takes up too much screen space for what it provides, I know, you can hide it, but then it always just pops up when you accidently move to close to the bottom edge of the screen.

Well, i'd like a function to turn on the Tiger style Dock, because the 3D dock sucks ass and the 2D dock still looks out of place, Tigers was just nicer (for me anyway).

Menu bar transparency is too vista and just slows down the system further so having an option to turn that off would be nice. (i'd like my rounded corners back as well)

Otherwise, just general optimisation, clean up the code, improve speed, anything really :)

1. Fix the problem with spotlight hidden behind the menu bar

2. Fix the choppiness of dock

3. Add option to the time machine to just backup the user folder

4. Add hierarchy menu back to stack

5. Fix the problem with wake up (sometimes it makes my mouse choppy and the only way to fix this is to restart)

I have a laundry list of things to be fixed nothing major but enough to annoy me. The default folder views not sticking even though they are told too is very annoying. When syncing my notes it removes the flags on them, probably many more that I can't think of right now.

    • AMD 9070XT

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
