previously i had thought that it would look very slick and cool, but i installed a new shapeshifter theme called "kuro" (a black theme) and i must say it's.... too dark! i'm not sure what it is but despite looking quite nice, it's not pleasant to work with. very nice theme though, but i think if it was the look of the whole operating system it would be hard work!

    I personally don't think it will be dark like you suggest, it think it will be white, but with some black gloss.

    How about a dark grey/blue scheme like the 'welcome to 2007' banner apple.com had on it's website at the start of the year? I think that would work really well, and maybe it was a clue to the interface.

    well the black is certainly gone now. dark grey/blue sounds ok, so long as it's not the darkness!

    I look forward to a darker color scheme but not TOO dark.

    I agree, I like the video of the X on the Leopard preview home page, and it is exactly how I picture Leopard--glossy, dark, metal. But notice it is not actually very dark despite how it first seems, so... not too dark.

    I would personally like to be able to change the color. Not with schemes, but a color picker. So you could go into the control panel, and choose any color, and the UI would look the same, but be a different color.



    Sorry if that makes no sense, my communication skills in general are pathetic.

    Those are really sweet! Some great ideas. I have a feeling that comparing to these ideas, Leopard will be about as "Wow" as Vista... Which is to say, not so very...
