Mac OS X Lion Discussion

[Rudy]

You have to extract the DMG from the Installer package contents and restore it a USB-stick, SDHC card, DVD or whatever. I'm trying it as we speak.

Last time around I really did get a good look at Mac OS X Lion performance-wise because I did an upgrade from Mac OS X Snow Leopard. :/

Edit: Yup, the DMG is bootable once you restore it to another drive.

Thanks I'll try that tonight :D

also can confirm it works, i did it on DP1 and worked like a charm (Y)

So I'm guessing you need an 8GB usb stick?

You need a disc carrying at least 4,21 GB. So yeah a 8 GB USB stick works just fine. I'm using a 16 GB SDHC card, works too.

DP1 was only 3.06Gb and i have not had the time to get DP2 yet so i am not sure sorry, but i wouldn't expect it to be the full 8Gb yet...

how so?

An option in System Preferences?

Finally got the new Lion build running on my MacBook - lot's of bugs have been addressed, some new ones are present, and some haven't been fixed. Overall, performance seems to be improved.

Does anyone know where the download is for Java for this build? Thanks.

Safari looks nicer in this build. I love the new window chrome, light grey with dots on them like the folder icons.

The animations seems less smoother though compared to DP1. However, I'm not experiencing the stability issues PyX complained about.

Is it possible to update from DP1 to DP2?

I don't want to loose my settings and programs

Can you just installer 'over' DP1?

Yep, providing you have that software update installed.

Thankyou...

Did that (update)

What exactly is the function of the Launchpad icons shaking? Unlike iOS I can drag them around in Mac OS X Lion while they're not shaking as well...

Maybe I'm missing something...

I still don't get why some windows animate while opening while some others don't.

Screens please?

Screens please?

It's hard to show the very minor change with a typical screenshot, so I had to zoom in quite a bit:

Leopard and Snow Leopard had a glossy, plastic look, whereas Lion has a "speckled" appearance.

[Jock Horror]

is it possible to upgrade from SL to DP2?

[Quillz]

Yes.

[tra]

Hm... still missing GLSL 1.3...

I find that very strange, as i hear many rumors that it will support fully opengl 3.0

In windows it has opengl 3.2 support.. does anybody hass full opengl 3.0 with a nvidia geforce M 330?

After rebooting, things were a little more stable.

The window animations is a GUI issue. They need to either remove them all, or apply them to every window. Honestly, they?re damn sexy when they?re there. It reminds me of when Gimpy pops up in The Undergrads in Nitz?s OS 9 computer.

Flipping through pages to iCal is screwed up. Sometimes when you go back in time, the animation actually flips to the next page, but it shows you the good thing, and vice versa.

What?s new in Safari in DP2 that wasn?t there in DP1? I think I?m missing something.

What I don't get is why Disk Utility animates when opening it for example, but Address Book doesn't. Makes no sense. The Preview toolbar icons look weird too, way too heavy drop shadows.

What I don?t get is why Disk Utility has large, colorful icons in its toolbar, when Finder, Safari, Mail and Preview don?t.

Hasn't been updated since ages that's why...

[.Neo]

They modified the bezel volume symbols to be consistent with iOS. Managed to port it over to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. So now every time I change my volume I can pretend I'm already running Mac OS X Lion full time. :laugh:

[PyX]

I just puked in my mouth a little. That looks horrendous! :x

Sorry for the private question, but what did your puke look like?

Coincidently, mine looked EXACTLY like the new iCal texture : rusty brown with unidentified dots floating around.

Yeah, while they?re at playing with ZFS and TRIM support, maybe they should do a major UI/GUI overhaul with this app. It?s starting to be urgent.
