Screen Shots of Panther?
Last night in AI chat tikutikutiku said he had two screen captures of Panther. If someone has these.. can they post them please? (since I don't think Apple will 'flip' about simple screenshots)
Also... why isn't there a really good thread about Panther? I want the price, feature request, *confirmed* features, etc. to be in one thread where I can read about um in one place. Thx!

Nothing has formally been announced about Panther yet, except that it will be shown at WWDC in June. Until then, you aren't going to see much information because nothing else has been announced.
Has there even been a seed of Panther released to developers yet...?

I don't think there are going to be any Panther seeds before the WWDC.
Hang tight until WWDC, then the Panther madness will truly kick off.
As for 64 bit optimization, only if it comes with 970's, but I don't think Apple will release them both at the same time, so as not to steal thunder from one or the other.
Apple's done a pretty amazing job at keeping Panther under wraps thus far. 10.2 was also kept under close wraps until Apple made stuff public, so this will probably change after WWDC. Must... wait... longer...
However, I doubt there will be any of those screen shots for oh..... 4 months or so?
So, dream on as many people have said, as I will!
I've been waiting for this.
Now we just need the music.
A shame that we can't have Peter Sellers to introduce the new product.

Maybe it is, just maybe it is.

Make one!

As LoopRumors first reported on March 18th (below), Apple's new Operating System, Panther, is due this Fall. One week ago, Apple announced that they will demo the new operating system at the WWDC in June. Our sources have told us that one main theme throughout will be a system-wide metal interface. Rumors of a revamped Mail.app have been circulating and today, we received an image of a recent build of the "Metallic Mail." We have received several emails asking if everything would be metal. From the information we have, as far as we know, only the Apple Applications will sport the metal. The menu bar, drop-down menus and dock will remain unchanged.

So it could be a genuine screenshot of the current version of Mail running under Jaguar. The UI doesn't appear to be changed in any way (most notably, the toolbar buttons are still of the Aqua variety, rather than the more physical-looking buttons in other metal apps), so that would be my guess.
I've actually been running secret builds of Panther. Yeah.

Yeah it would be very easy to go into Interface Builder and click that "Textured Window" check box. Infact I did that myself...there are like 30 or so .nib files. I also did it with Preview.
Although it makes sense for Mail.app to be brushed metal because iChat and Safari are. Logically another internet, application...e-mail...to be brushed metal as well.
On a side note, I've recently started playing with KDX, and I can't get over how FAST the app seems to be in terms of response to window clicks, window dragging, resizing, etc. Granted it looks like crap, but man is it fast. Strange to see things working so fast in OSX. I guess I haven't even gone back to use OS9 in such a long time...
Let's hope Apple can make some significant UI speed improvements in Panther.
