Leopard: Redesigned GUI

By linathael. Original by Yoc - 12/06/2007 09:19:49 CEST - Category: Apple
Let's have a look at the GUI, concentrating on details that Steve did not mention; despite the fact it will come up immediately the first time you will launch Leopard 10.5: new Finder and new desktop.
The desktop has been redesigned. The menu bar is now transparent, and the dock can be displayed with a rather nice projection effect applied to both icons and windows. The long rumored stacks are finally there, after having been filed and patented by Apple. You can now drag and drop several documents together in the dock to associate them as a stack. By clicking on the representative icon, you will deploy the stack and be able to click the one you need. downloaded files with Safari as well as attached files in mails will automatically be piled up in stack in the dock.



The redesigned Finder looks like iTunes 7, and this is not only for an esthetic point of view, as files and folders will be organized the same way the music browser is. You can even review files with Cover Flow the same way you browse album covers in iTunes.

Sharing files between 2 Macs has also been revisited to make it as simple as sharing music between 2 computers with iTunes. In addition, if authorized, one can take control of a distant computer, similarly to Apple Remote Desktop or Timbuktu.
Boolean attributes are now supported in spotlight, and one can search a document by date or with part of its content.
Do not hesitate to have a look at them, you can watch video on Apple website.
