Bling3k12 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Technically you could hack the NIB files with Interface Builder (ok, I haven't really used developer tools since Jaguar, so... those may be in Xcode) to make it look however you really want it to. I know for certain apps you could do that. Otherwise, I don't think Apple would give you a way to do that. Maybe some third party application would let you, if that's what you mean. If Safari looked like the new Mail, I'd be in love with it. But for now, I've always liked Safari as brushed metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGVL Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I like Plastic but Brushed Metal is and will always be my favorite, I wish more apps used it. I'm not too fond of the new "Fisher Price" shade of blue for Aqua though. Maybe that will change when I actually get to use it or I'll just change it to "Graphite".

aristotle-dude Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 If you want plastic in Safari, make a copy and edit the nib files with interface builder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted April 15, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 15, 2005 i might be able to get used to this, and who knows, perhaps they will have alternative themes, like have the panther style one to choose from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prz Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 personally, i just need to start actually using it rather than look at it in screenshots. When Panther first came out I thought it sucked until I got used to it, now I think the Jaguar look is crap.. so I'll have to wait and see.

Scazza Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Took the money out of your account? Did you pre-order at a store on online? Did you use a credit card or check card?Merchants alway put hold on funds on credit cards when they preauthorize a purchase. Are you sure they actually took the money or is it just a preauthorization? Merchants want to be sure your Credit card actually has the balance and it prevents you from overcharging by buying other things on the same credit amount. As a consumer, it may "feel" like you have already been charged but you will not be charged interest on it until they confirm the transaction at the time of shipping. If, for some reason, they could not ship it to you and the order was cancelled, they would only have to request the hold/authorization to be removed rather than going through the trouble of crediting your account. 585775899[/snapback] Well when I checked my balance on wednesday, i had a balance of ?102 and then an avalable balance of ?44 which means they took out the money for tiger. [quote name='roadwarrior' date='Apr 14 2005, 20:45(Y)Y) Yep, that is what most likely happened. I'd almost guarantee that his was a check card. I work at a hotel and we constantly have people complaining about things like this. Listen people: contrary to what the advertisements tell you, a check card does NOT act just like a credit card. They ARE processed differently. If a business does a pre-authorization on your check card, that money is coming out of your account immediately! For places like hotels that do a pre-authorization at one time, and the actual charge at another, you can sometimes actually see TWO charges show up on your card for a few days. The second charge eventually will drop off and the money will be returned to your account, but I've seen this take a week or more. 585776124[/snapback] I have a Visa Electron card, will check my account tonight before work and see if the money has gone back in. I hope so any way, annoys me when you preorder something and they take your money when they havent even got the item to send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling3k12 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I caved in and bought it with my Student Discount... I was gonna go to the store and buy it, but I couldn't justify extra cost just to hang out with fellow Mac users en masse. :D Still might go, but with Tiger already on my PowerBook since I'll get it to my house before people in line can buy it. :p Make those in line jealous.

It's not the fault of the company (in fact, they haven't gotten your money yet either), it's due to the way credit card companies process them.

It is labeled "pre-release" though, so it's probably 8A425 or earlier. I'll get the GM when ADC members are allowed to download it, or when they ship it to me, whichever is earlier. The only way I'll download a "questionable" copy is if someone makes the CD version available, since it would make reloads on my iBook easier (until I get a DVD drive for it).

Tiger Gold Master leaked A 2.5GB disc image of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger appeared on the servers of highly regarded ripping groups this past weekend, some two weeks before its official release. Details are scarce on where the disc image, which installs Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger build 8A428, originated from but the file is slowly making its ways to more and more servers and will likely end up on file sharing networks later this week. Apple has kept an extremely tight leash on Tiger, which was declared Gold Master at the start of the month, keeping the build out of the hands of all but a select few outside of Apple. :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
