An Unordered List of Leopard Thoughts
- I’m loving the overall polish Leopard has. Its a great OS so far.
- I hate the transparent menu bar.
- I love love love the fact that in the open dialog windows now have the ability to browse through your iPhoto library! Much easier to flickrize photos that are trapped in the iPhoto bundle now.

- The new help system is a mixed bag. I like the arrows and the search, but the unmovable help window needs to be fixed via an update ASAP.
- I’m not sure if this is related to Leopard but Firefox crashed on me in the middle of writing this and now I have to rewrite half of it.
- I’ve already hacked the dock so its no longer the shelf. I didn’t hate the shelf as much as some, but the other way looks way better. I’m glad there was a way to change it, even if it wasn’t official.
- I’m running Time Machine on my MacBook Pro, but not on my iMac. That machine gets handed too many big files throughout the day and I don’t want those backed up every hour.
- Did I say how much I hate the transparent menu bar?
- I’m crushing hard on Spaces and thats surprising. I initially blew it off as an empty feature that linux has had for some time, but Apple has done a nice job with it and I’ve been using it a lot on both machines this weekend.
- iChat is, as expected, very cool. Its sad that both parties have to be running Leopard in order to record video chats.
- Stacks have grown on me as well. I’m for anything that helps me keep my desktop clean.
- I love how all the popup menus have rounded corners now. Nice touches like that is really the meat of this OS.
- Another great little touch: When renaming a file, just the name of the file is auto-highlighted and not the file extension.
- I like the Mail and iCal newness, but I haven’t really needed to use any of their new features.
- Speaking of Mail, if I can get this version to work with my office’s Exchange server I will hump my little hologram-tastic Leopard box.
Thats all for now. Feel free to add your thoughts.
