PyX Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Indicator lights for open apps is still an option, but they've been disabled by default since the OS pretty much hides the whole open/closed metaphor from you (and seems to do a great job at it). Once again, like iOS. With or without multitasking, I did not and I still do not notice which apps are opened and which apps are closed.

It will probably help my fiancee.... She ALWAYS has like 7-12 apps open at once :/ She's just too lazy to close them or she "needs" them http://www.macstories.net/news/first-screenshots-and-details-of-mac-os-x-lion/ some Lion screenshots here, fresh posted; can't wait to see more Grayscale icons in finder like iTunes....I like Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/13/#findComment-593730314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well looks like Aqua is finally dead in Mac OS X Lion. Its appearance looks amazing, extremely clean.

Rudy Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well looks like Aqua is finally dead in Mac OS X Lion. That's awesome, as much as I liked it in Tiger it's been long enough and we're ready for something else.

PyX Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Grayscale icons in finder like iTunes....I like I don’t. It removes some of OS X’s soul IMO. It makes the OS look rather boring. Like if one selects the Graphite scheme in the prefpane. They better compensate this by adding colors elsewhere. I have a question : In the Finder, do folders still look like blue, physical folders, or do they now look like iOS’s Folders?

firey Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 hmm, is it just me or is much of this really only beneficial if you have a MPB, or that Magic Track pad. Does it support mouse gestures, or window gestures (like Windows 7 with the Shaking, and such) or what real benefit to a Desktop Setup do the new functions bring?

.Neo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Is Graphite still there as an option in System Preferences? As it turns out many of the rumors about Lion's interface turn out to be true. The new white Quick Look window for example.

Can you show us a screen shot of those new progress bars, really want to see those. :D The new Aqua kind of reminds of of that "Milk" theme back in the Panther days.

Chasethebase Reporter Posted February 24, 2011 Reporter Share Posted February 24, 2011 If someone can take a fully detailed screenshot of the traffic lights, they look slightly different to me. Spotlight's blue seems a bit vivid in comparison to the other blues, I wonder if this will be fixed.

Kyang Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 From Mac Rumors: - Application persistance. Apps and their states are saved when you logout and back in. Background apps may be terminated by Mac OS X and will restore if the user picks them again. Basically the concept of open and closed apps is gone. That sounds awesome! As a Windows user, I hope we'll see something similar for Windows... :( .

There's third party software out there that let's you use it much like the magic track pad. Okay, I was just unsure of how pinch to zoom would work, or the fnacy tab changing would work. I guess with a desktop setup, it's easy to hold control and zoom, but at the same time having things a little more fluid are nice.
