" especially now that 1 out of 2 mac users owns a copy of Panther"
I dont believe 1 out of 2 mac users OWNS a copy of Panther, as I don't think stealing something gives you ownership of it.
But whatever..
You know what I mean.
PS: I haven't stolen a copy and I'm not going to. I'm just pointing out that if the people like Panther the they're probably going to buy it, either that or they...whatever.
By the way, there's a work around for that authentication issue. You have to start up from the Panther CD and reset the password for root (resetting the password for yourself doesn't fix it) and then log in as root and make yourself an admin again.
This is less buggy and faster than build 21 but there are still some random issues. Not bad, though.
Can anyone with Panther check if the carbon/cocoa colour palettes have Pantone colour libraries? This would make sense considering the large creative user base and pantone being the industry standard.

Pantone colour libraries are not included. Pantone should make their libraries compatible with Apple's colour picker though, if they haven't already. It is a plugin based architecture after all and it's probably quite trivial for them to support it.
Doesn't those lirbaries cost money anyway? I'm not prepared to pay a license fee to Pantone just so I would get their library included in Panther. If they are free though.. that'd be another matter completely.
In what app would you need Pantone colours that has not included their own colour palettes, anyway? At least Adobe's apps do have the Pantone libraries afaik. Need it for TextEdit? ;-)
I am sure this has been answered but I do not want to read all eight pages...can you change the colors of the labels or are you stuck with their color choices?
I think I saw a screenshot of the preferences. Yes, I believe you can.
At least now we'll actually be able to use black or gray or white and have it actually work.
I'm wondering if Unsanity will drop Labels X when this comes out or will they try and integrate it with the existing ability? And anyone know if the Panther Labels are backwards compatable with OS 9? And in turn with Labels X?
Have there been any improvements to the Aqua Finder in Panther (ie. making it to acting like the brushed metal Finder or 10.2's Finder instead of just the classic Finder)?
How is X11 integrated ? Do you still have to open the X11 app and use the XTerm terminal, or will it be integrated so that you can run X11 programs from the standard Terminal ?
The way I see it, being Unix based, it should be possible to use the standard Darwin terminal to run any X11 app ?
The 7B28 build of Panther has administration issues. Basically, if you were an admin before, you're not after installing this build. It doesn't allow you to authenticate unless you're root. beh. Beta software: what'cha gonna do?
Hmm, how are you installing 7b28? I don't have any of the authentication problems that some people seem to be experiencing. Everything I authenticate works just fine here, where exactly are you seeing this problem?

It could potentially be from the fact that I did an archive and install from the previous release. Everyone that has that I know of ran into the authentication problem. It's easily fixed, so it's not anything to worry about, especially from a prerelease build.
I've noticed that the keyboard and mouse don't lose funcionality like before (which would happen randomly) but iChat sometimes craps out by not allowing you to type anything until you restart it.

Brad, got any more pics of the big Cat?

Are you thinking of cheap applications like Photoshop and Quark XPress?
I thought this line from the article was cute:
Apple's newly threaded Mail application saw no new features as it inched forwards from 1.3 (v582) to 1.3 (v582).
At least now we'll actually be able to use black or gray or white and have it actually work.

With the caveat that I too have only seen the screenshots, I only noticed that you could rename the color labels, not change the colors themselves.
I could be wrong, of course...
Not that it matters to me if you can't change the colors. I like the rainbow. But it'd be nice if we could.

I see several of these messages:
[2003/08/08 09:57:38, 0] /SourceCache/samba/samba-41/samba/source/passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:startsmbfilepwent(182)
startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /private/var/db/samba/smbpasswd. Error was No such file or directory

Unable to open passdb database.
It does not affect anything actually, it's just weird because there are a LOT of them in log.smdb but everything works just fine.

Already in Jaguar's color picker. Also in Panther.

No. You can change the names but not the colors.
Sorry, guys. No time for more info from me. I'm going to be away for a few more days.
