Translucent menu bar is retarded, but Finder's handling of networked drives and machines is SO SO SO MUCH BETTER. Also, Spotlight is as useful as Quicksilver as an application launcher, now.
Still no option to sort folders at the top of the list, though. |

| I'm setting up a Windows partition so I can play HL2 without BSODing like it does on my desktop, and Bootcamp Assistant made it FAT32. Fuck that noise. I deleted it and made it NTFS from within the Windows installer. Hopefully it still works. I had it as NTFS from the start in Tiger >:| |

THIS DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I don't remember how it worked on Tiger, but I don't see any way to use NTFS for my XP partition on Leopard, and my ghetto way resulted in the system booting to a broke-ass FAT32 partition. |

Windows PCs show up as yellowing CRT monitors with old-school BSODs in Finder, lawl. |

Well, I mean. Samba. It's originally a Windows protocol, so. |

| Naw, Troops, the number one feature is the new Finder network snappiness. Soooo nice! I can also vouch for Leopard feeling slightly faster, and if my eyes don't deceive me my battery life might even be slightly improved? It's hard to tell. |

You can get the 2D dock you have on the sides to be used on the bottom too by doing:
I've already seen some very simple Dock mods done just by changing the images and files used in Dock's resource folder. |

So is there a way to actually turn the mouse acceleration off? I've tried four fixes thus far, and a couple got close, but it was never really off.
Completely deal breaking, in my opinion. |
No. It's not bad using a trackpad, but when I have a mouse hooked up it's a painful exercise in futility to click pretty much anything. |

| What do you mean by "use dual monitors properly?" I don't do much dual monitoring on my Mac so I'm not familiar with what it does wrong. |

By default, in panther/tiger at least it mirrors whatever is on the first monitor rather than giving you a true second desktop, the app that changes this behavior hasn't been updated since tiger came out. |
Hrm. I just recently helped my buddy with Panther set himself up with a second monitor, and I could have sworn it defaulted to being a second screen. In Tiger I think I may have had to change a preference to get it to be another display, but once I did that it stayed that way. I'll give it a shot with my Leopard now and report back.
Edit: defaulted to a discrete screen using a VGA monitor from my Leopard MBP. |
