Kanecorp Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I got the Jaguar DP1 today, I tried to do an upgrade, and first off, the computer goes black and when i finally get it booted up again it would go to a blue screen and have the mouse up in the top left frozen. I ended up having to do a reformat...i did a clean install of it. The install went fine, but I've found the OS is pretty buggy. Crashed alot, and many apps wouldn't work for me. However, i did get to play around with it, and it has a lot of new and great features. I ended up having to reformat and go back to OSX.1. Just a warning to those thinking about installing Jaguar at such an early stage in its development.

As for Aqua itself, it remains intact! ...Some more app's now take the Metallic Brushed effect, but there's nothing REALLY to inspire a new theme! :( < sigh > NeYo Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/26719-my-osx-jaguar-experience/#findComment-242719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheer Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 What's the speed of Jaguar like compared to 10.1.4? Is it all it's hyped up to be? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/26719-my-osx-jaguar-experience/#findComment-242785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted May 14, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 14, 2002 one thing MOST windows users think that jaguar is the name of the new ui. there is no ui there is just more of a brushed metal look on most of apples apps. *not like that is new* plus 10.2 is gonna be nice any version that is out no its buggy and isn't even worth getting hyped up about. 10.1.5 which comes out soon speeds up idisk and a few other things.

sheer Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 About time they fixed idisk. I've been using Goliath for a while now to connect to that as it's far quicker. XP gets into idisk real quick too.

nomis_nehc Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I have always wondered about the transparency effects on macs... how is it compare with window's transparency? does it slow the system dramatically if... let's say a full screen window is set transparent?

nomis_nehc Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 hehe, thanks but that's not what I mean. I have XP and use Power Menu instead of Glass2k. What I am asking is how is the transparency speed on Macs, I do not have one, so that's why I am wondering. And you take that answer and compare with 2k/XP's transparency.

But it has more to do with you processor then your OS, transparency never slowed me (Athlon XP 1800+ :p ) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/26719-my-osx-jaguar-experience/#findComment-247681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transparency is flawless, at least it is on my iMac. I guess part of that is the OS being heavily optimised for Altivec I the G4's, but even on the old iMac's, transparency is fast. As for jaguar, I had it installed for a while, grabbed a few things, apps, screenshots, etc. then went back to 10.1.x. It broke too many apps for me to keep it.

It's called iChat and will be bundled with the next release of OS X codename "Jaguar" around late summer (read last day of summer, probably september).

curniac Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Hey Dazzla, can I get that iChat icon? I use fire, but I really don't care for the icon it uses. Haven't tried Jaguar yet, but I think when it is release it will be pretty tight.
