Applenut, you can move the search filed anywhere in the toolbar you like, the same as any other element in the toolbar.

My theory for the missing pinstripes is that Finder.app and Dock.app think that the pinstripes make them look fat and therefore have stopped wearing things with horizontal lines.



I could be wrong. But I have this gut feeling...

Any chance of a screenie of the new aqua beachball? For some strange reason, this, for me, is undoubtedly the most exciting feature of Jag. I guess it's because i have a slow computer and the beachball is the UI feature i stare at the most.

Does anyone else think that the various themes Apple is showing in Jaguar (stripes, no stripes, brushed aluminum) are all "balloons to find our reaction prior to it's release? Or will they actually be giving us theme options?



I'm hoping for the latter. The first thing I will do is turn off that brushed aluminum. Just in case it is the former, I have now voted.

I just got finished trying EVERYTHING I could to capture that bastard. I finally resorted to snagging a video camera and filming the scren.



So, without further ado...

Does the ball change colors if you are not using the 'Blue' theme?

That looks totally sweeet, man! This truly is the most exciting feature of Jaguar.

starfleetX, can you tell if Quartz Extreme is in there yet? If it's there, how do you know? Is it noticably faster?



Thanks.



The shots, etc. are awesome, by the way!

robo

heheheh. I stared at that movie for at least 5 minutes on loop. Then i blew it up to fullscreen and stared at it some more..



That is cooler than the spinning hands on the wait-watch in system 7





Thanks,



robo

Starfleet X, you truly rock!

aslan

Props to StarfleetX for that swanky mov capture!



God I love the new beach ball.... Too bad it is so shy...(or wait... that's not what I meant! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> )



BTW, shout out to my homie whose name is very large in the mov on the Photoshop splash! John Penn II whatup!!! (not sure he even reads AI, but ya never know....if I don't hear from you sooner, John, see you at MacHack! )

No new Energy Saver options? WTF Apple, people bought lots of iBooks!



Starfleet X, thanks for the info!

aquatic

Oh, and what was I thinking, PowerBooks too.



I'm sure 10.2 will have Energy Saver settings and more.



Late summer sure is a long time away!

imacfp

There are already more energy saver options. Processor speed can be set to normal or highest. And there are presets for performance, conversation and dvd playback.

Man, that OS is more advanced than I thought. What does it talk about?

There are energy saving settings. I don't know if it's just on my portable or desktops have it too. Not as extensive, but you can define settings for battery and plugged in and you can spin down the HD too.
