yayo Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I like the new Interface (from what I've seen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macster Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hah, you guys are complaining about Tiger's GUI "inconsistency". One, I think it's quite consistent. Two, have a gander at Windows or Linux. Far more inconsistent. We're really getting a break. Besides, Apple has a thorough HIG that explains how Brushed Metal, Aqua, and Plastic should be used. Anyway, I'm glad they're phasing out the pinstripes. They're pretty annoying no matter where you put them. I'd like to see more Brushed Metal as well.I also agree with Chrisa. Having different looks for different types of applications allows me to separate between them. I like consistency between a certain window style (Brushed Metal, Aqua, Plastic) from application to application, but the differences between the windows allow me to spot different windows easier as well associate them with real-world devices. 585767141[/snapback] Agree with you too.

..... Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I'm telling you boys, all this hype is not all that, I've been using it for a week now and half of my installed software is not compatible! I mean this is rediculous...I hope shapeshifter comes out with an update because it sucks not to be able to use themes... 585767066[/snapback] Can you tell us what apps specifically aren't working? I would have expected most / all to work. (other than ones for modifying the gui etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyder Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Did any of you notice Mail in Tiger has a new (well, somewhat new) icon? Would any of you be kind enough to post it in .icns format? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(other than ones for modifying the gui etc) 585768691[/snapback] One thing that I can say for sure doesn't work right with 8A425 is BitTorrent (the current 4.0.1 build). I still think Syphadius is lying about having 8A428 since ADC members haven't even been given copies of that build yet. I don't doubt that it's the GM build number though. 8A425 only has a couple of minor problems, neither of which is relevant for either of my machines.

macman87 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I think the new brighter looks is great for the new switchers, and for the people who hate it, they can always switch to the Graphite look. However, I hate the "Platinum" look (the one they used in Mail and Xcode and a few others). I like them to keep it to the Aqua Panther has. Platinum to too... dull. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyder Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I remember the first time I saw the Tiger interface (in some screenshots leaked a few days before WWDC 2004) I was more than certain it was either a fake or at a very early stage of developement. And even though now we know it's Tiger's final look it still gives me the impression like there was something unfinished and lacking about it.

I have to try the latest build of Bittorrent, and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divinatum Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Every app i've thrown at Tiger works fine, just like it does in Panther (even stuffit.. dont know which version though) With a major update (10.3 to 10.4) its expected that hacks to the OS won't work (ShapeShifter) But unsanity will get it working quickly.

I've been waiting for them to change the System Preferences look since that WWDC build. But it never happened. @Philip With Platinum you mean Plastic right? Because Plastic is the official name.

macman87 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 @PhilipWith Platinum you mean Plastic right? Because Plastic is the official name. 585769577[/snapback] Ah Plastic. I've been calling it a lot of different names lately. :p But whichever one it still looks crap. I am starting to like Mail though. Except the toolbars. Seriously, What the heck was Apple thinking?

Nextstep OS X Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 What is all this talk about Plastic this Plastic that? I thought there is only Aqua (the White stripped UI) and Metal (the Metallic looking UI) I know most the Aqua themes made by individuals for the mac have some Ugly looking (Red, Green and Yellow) buttons. Not like the default ones the come with OS X. I beleive they call them Plastic. Aqua is supposed to look like Water it though, not Cheap Plastic!?!

Bling3k12 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 How is font smoothing in Tiger? I hear it's now "Automatic" compared to "Manual" (as on the comparison page of OS X 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 on the Apple Page). I noticed in Fusion's screenshots that the text is different. Are you still able to manually control font smoothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYPHADIUS Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Yes it is. :huh: There are higher builds but those are for 10.4.1. 585768517[/snapback] I didn't say there weren't any higher builds, I just said that the gold version is 8A428 and that's what I have installed. Can you tell us what apps specifically aren't working? I would have expected most / all to work. (other than ones for modifying the gui etc) 585768691[/snapback] my problems might stem from the fact that I upgraded from panther to tiger. But after the install, my anti-virus was "kapoot", asking me to re-install, candybar won't even start because it's not compatible with tiger, and shapeshifter can't apply any new themes (understandable considering a new OS and all) I still think Syphadius is lying about having 8A428 since ADC members haven't even been given copies of that build yet. I don't doubt that it's the GM build number though. 8A425 only has a couple of minor problems, neither of which is relevant for either of my machines. 585769024[/snapback] haven't you learned that everyone has hook-ups in this world!! not everyone has to be god to play with exclusive software. and no, it wasn't through ADCwhatever is it you call it that I got it from. But I can tell you that the version I have is the gold version AND I got it from people who NEED to test there stuff on new OS release. I'm not asking you to beleive me I telling you like it is.
