Mac OS X Lion Discussion


Recommended Posts

Oh, okay. Someone kept telling me to check the Appearance option and thus couldn't figure out why the three scroll bar options weren't doing anything.

EDIT: Seems you can only change the scrolling behavior if you have a trackpad, though. I'm using a Magic Mouse and there is nothing I can edit in Trackpad. Nevermind, the same option is inside the Mouse preferences.

It is just starting to appear on the more private trackers (that .cd site for example)

Ah, that’s what I thought but I was looking on .me, my bad.

I’m not on any other private tracker, so I guess I’ll have to be patient :p

It's on a certain bay, where pirates go (I hope I can say that).

I couldn’t find it there :p

But it doesn’t matter, I know I’ll end up getting my hands on it soon.

I'm glad that Apple has finally retired all of the old, out-of-place shiny, glossy Aqua widgets that debuted back in 2000. The new progress bars look great, as do the more muted checkboxes and radio buttons. Also, it seems to me that buttons and forms are using a darker hue of blue.

Okay, so it seems that iDisk isn't quite the same thing as AirDrop, though they seem like it to me, especially as iDisk can be shared publicly, right?

I really should be using iDisk in place of Dropbox, as it does all the same things for me.

putting the app online is easy as pie, its getting the app into an iSO format and ridding the DRM protection that would be the tricky bit

edit: i stand corrected, seems this has already been accomplished (Y)

It's a shame, can the cracked version be installed stand alone or is it an update too?

I just purchased the dev preview and I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed I had to install 10.6 on a different partition first THEN upgrade :/ (I have to keep a clean 10.6 so I can continue developing for the AppStore)

10.6 is required as lion still uses a number of essential services that it uses from the snow leopard partition thus the reason why lion is installed ontop of leopard, though i have to thank apple for that, rather download 3.6Gb then 8-9Gb (Y)

What you're saying doesn't make much sense. In the past Mac OS X Developer Previews have always been stand-alone installers, so there's no reason why this can't be the case with Mac OS X Lion. The only reason this Mac OS X Lion installer requires Mac OS X Snow Leopard is because Apple set it up that way. Not because there's some technical limitation. Next to that the full Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD is less than 6,5 GB in size (not the 8-9 GB you're talking about). Even smaller when you exclude Xcode.

it could be an attempt to stop piracy of the developer previews, but apple has already failed with that

Looks like it creates a recovery HD - when you hold down Option it appears. Sure that was one with SL but never saw it.

Also is it just me but there doesn't seem to be a way to exit dashboard without clicking a trackpad or clicking the keyboard. In SL you could click with a mouse to go back....

People, Keep In Mind That If You Submit Apps 2 Either The IOS App Store, The Mac App Store, Or Both: Apple Still Requires You 2 Use Both Snow Leopard And XCode 3.25 And/Or XCode 4.0 GM with IOS 4.2.1 GM 4 Your App Submissions, You Might Want 2 Think Twice About Replacing Snow Leopard With Lion Developer Preview As Your Primary Mac Operating System!

But I installed Lion on a completely clean external drive that had nothing on it at all previously.

Thanks for the reminder....

But can you PLEASE stop posting like that? Wtf is it supposed to be? Looks like a pain in the ass to capitalize everything PLUS it makes it harder to read

though i have to thank apple for that, rather download 3.6Gb then 8-9Gb

Um the download size has nothing to do with the install size :/

I mean Windows 7 download is like 3.16GB

The numbers instead of words were worse imo :|

As a designer, I am interested in finding out if this build of Lion, contains the x2 UI image resources, that this new HiDPI support requires. If so, I would love to see screenshots running in this double resolution, or even better, a zip with the extracted UI images, if any of the Leopard and Snow Leopard theming tools still work? PM me, get in touch via Twitter @mdtauk or reply here if you can help me out!

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
