    Apart from the new "tabs" and the less stripe-y look, the new UI looks better.

    *laugh* My wife and I both had the same reaction to the .zip icon...



    "Okay, so it is a cleavage, or a crotch zipper? Them's the only times you get that kind of zipper just stopping..."



    It really *is* the sexiest OS!

    As I said once before: One orgasm of an operating system.

    Except for this unexplainable kernel panic I just had. Not very sexy,,,



    Other than that, the attention to detail and esthetics, is simply astounding! tEh most sexyehehh(!) OS since forever...



    OpenGL is faster too, some percentages faster in Quake 3 at least, without doing any extensive tests. 333.4 FPS in timedemo four.dm_68 on this dual 1GHz.

    Technically, the zipper thing is in the wrong position. A closed zipper should mean it's at the top, not the bottom. Personally, I think a cleavage icon would be excellent. Just show a *litte* bit, and it will truly be the sexiest.



    As it is, Panther is by far the coolest.

    Yes, and I've done so. But typically Apple comes back and tells me to try the latest build if my issue was fixed. Nothing yet, so...

    Shouldn't the zipper itself be at the top?

    I don't see any 'jagged looking sunken x-+ buttons.

    Got a screenshot of that? They're sunken, yes, and it's IMO a more beautiful appearance for the traffic-lights

    Been observing and testing the implementation of remote-server browsing, and FTP-integration with Safari. And I can conclude that the improvements are sky-high! With Safari 1.0/Jaguar, I could never mount and use the Apple FTP for downloading software (other servers were flaky as %$&/(&$% too). The FTP-mount just disappeared, while in Panther, everything worked beautifully. Safari now displays a "Connecting to..."-dialogue when opening connections to FTP-servers. The Finder is not bogged down when one have a FTP mounted at all. Nice, Apple!



    But one still can't upload to FTP-servers Bad, Apple!

    zapchud, just take a look at http://homepage.mac.com/max_08/themes/smoothstripes.htm and http://homepage.mac.com/max_08/themes/brushed.htm to see what they could look like sunken

    ?



    I don't see the difference. They look pretty much exactly as in Panther '44, as far as I can tell.

    Well, I don't know 'bout you but I clearly see a difference

    the one from Max are much more in the glossy Jaguar Aqua style

    as one can see in the Aqua blue default button for instance, more refined.







    anyway... enough deviation, sorry folks



    Has anyone noticed the other new icon in 7B44 yet?

    3 guesses is all you get.

    I am pleased to say that many, many bugs are fixed from previous builds. The finder is rock solid. Many visual bugs are fixed. It is as speedy if not speedier than the previous builds. I am talking about b44 here.



    Oh, one MAJOR bug that I am very please to say is fixed is the jittery video playback in quicktime. It is silky smooth again!

    Someone mentionned the Finder file refresh issues were fixed, does that mean files created in the Terminal appear immediately in the finder?

    You still have to click on the window (in my case, the desktop) to make it refresh, but then it happens pretty much instantly! Great!

    I wouldn't say rock solid. I've ran into a problem that changed all my folder icons into little Docklet icons...in fact, a lot of icons were randomly switched to the weird 'executable' icon.



    I had to reinstall.
