Southern Patriot Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Oh, but we can't forget Rhapsody and OS X Server 1.0 Rhapsody (Finder was called Workspace Manager here): OS X Server 1.0 looked pretty much the same.

suspiria Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I like the Tiger Apple Menu, but like the Panther striped Menu Bar. In my opinion, the glossy Menu Bar looks "heavy."

.Neo Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Haha the guy probably didn't know the codenames of 10.0 and 10.1. lol 10.0 = Cheetah, 10.1 = Puma. ;) I think the 10.0 Cheetah Apple icon looks much nicer compared to the 10.1-10.3 ones. 10.4 Tiger naturally looks the best. :cool: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/474309-the-evolution-of-mac-os-x/#findComment-587653477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_snitch Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I like the panther the best - the tiger menu bar is too glossy for such an important and always visible element. PS, remember how the apple was centered in the menu bar in the Public Beta (i dont even think it was clickable), and then apple changed it after everyone pointed out how stupid that was :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/474309-the-evolution-of-mac-os-x/#findComment-587654965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first they actually wanted to port the entire Platinum (Mac OS 9) look over. Fortunately for us they could only port about 90% over to the new OS so they decided to go with an entire new look instead.

MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted June 30, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm going to be honest, I'm still a fan of what we saw in Cheetah and Puma. I never used the public beta so I have no idea how the one in the center worked, but I still love 10.0 and 10.1. It was just I dunno, different, lol.

Yep, if you look at the picture I posted on the first page of Rhapsody, you can see how it would have looked. OS X Server 1.0 looked pretty much the same. It was sometime after that, before the release of the 10.0 public beta, that they decided to go with Aqua.

.Neo Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Can't imagine that the Platinum interface would be able to host all of today's Mac OS X features like Expos? and Dashboard. It might have been nice in it's days but it certainly wouldn't have made it through the first decade of the 21st century.

It might have been nice in it's days but it certainly wouldn't have made it through the first decade of the 21st century. I'm sure that it would have evolved to handle new technologies. I've personally never been a huge fan of it in the first place though, it was too plain looking for me.

MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted June 30, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2006 ^Yea, Platinum was very bland looking, very sterile and just way too professional looking. Thats not to say that Aqua isn't but Platinum kinda looked like Windows Classic, very simple and almost depressing.

Mac OS 7.5 looks like Windows 3.11. Mac OS 8-9.2.2 is very similar to Windows 9x Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/474309-the-evolution-of-mac-os-x/#findComment-587656803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulletRobZ Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Tiger and its Unified Brush theme look the best. If only Tiger used that Unified Brush theme for all applications or better still, let the user choose the styles in the System Preferences without 3rd party software, then that would have been perfect! ;) Can't wait to see Leopard!
